So it looks like amazon is expanding into yet another market.  The television program industry?  Turns out they are bringing in and hosting original tv series on their instant video channel one month at a time and will decide on which one to run with.  I know it’s a thing for large online companies to go after multiple markets, but TV shows?  I want to know how that decision went down.

So I have a stack of textbooks in my room from previous semesters’ classes that I never sold because they came out with a new edition.  So now the bookstore won’t buy them back, students won’t buy them, and I’m down big bucks and stuck with books I don’t want.  After looking at the pile grow I decided to try and sell them on Amazon.com.

I’d bought things off Amazon before but never sold anything.  It was surprisingly really easy.  I had to sign up for a Seller Account, but the actual process of listing my items was extremely fast and easy.  Literally in less than a day I had sold two of my books and made over $80.  It really seems as if Amazon has the whole buying and selling process down…the ease of use for the customer is key.  It’s simple and fast, and apparently effective, and if I have books to sell in the future I will definitely consider Amazon as my platform.
