Do you wrap the books in something waterproof, or are the bubble mailers sufficient?

And I checked and the books are supposed to be mailed within a day or two. So you really need to be at home a lot.

The bubble mailers are fine. It's up to the person and the postal system to keep things dry. After all, checks are mailed all the time and they aren't mailed in hermetically sealed waterproof boxes

Yes you are supposed to mail promptly. So you simply turn off your sales items if you have to go out of town, and turn them back on when you return.

I think maybe I can try selling a few at a time, like five at first. Should I try different genres, or stick to one and pick from there? Fiction or non?

I know I have a zillion inconsequential questions, but i do not have the mental energy to futz with things if I need to move back into my RV in a month. Thanks, everyone.

In your situation I would sell the most expensive items first. Get the most bang for the buck. It doesn't matter at all what categories they fall in.

What I do is I just do quick searches by ISBN or UPC on amazon to see what other people are selling them for. If it's worth selling, I put it up, if not, I go to the next book.

Right on you both - go for what is expensive first. Makes much sense.

James' textbooks sold really quickly but the few remaining ones are languishing on there. I'll have to check if other people have dropped their prices lower than mine so I'm no longer on the top, and play that price game to get them out of the house.
