In the time it would take me to do the research into online communities, scan images and write the listing, I could have put a dozen books on sale. I have to prioritise. <br /><br />It's frustrating not having the time to investigate opportunities or add images to my listings, but at the moment my sales aren't bad enough to give me an incentive to do this.

They never broke down and I must have paid for them at least three times over.<br /><br />Mike - I suppose I was selling it by stealth. The problem with listing books like that is that they need photos of the contents and so far, there's no simple way of doing that without spending at least 15 minutes buggering about.<br /><br />Annabel - When I was seven, I genuinely believed that I would be Brett Sinclair when I grew up. I've never quite recovered from the disappointment of realising that my life will never involve driving around the south of France, meeting beautiful countesses in casinos.
