Paperback books do not retain their value at all - you d be best first investigation how much they are really worth by looking up those titles in paperback online (eBay or abebooks) or checking out your local used book store. The vast majority of paperback novels sell for on average just 50 cents, and non-fiction trade around the $2-7 range depending on the subject, rarity, and condition of the books. That of course assumes they aren t signed by the author or anything. All you can do is wait and see, but I worry that since you ve dropped the price by $50 you my have priced them for a lot more than they re actually worth or will sell for.
if they aren t books one person is going to want, there is nothing you can do - even if it sells in 24 hrs doesn t mean you will have the cash in your hand in 24 hrs - it may take a day or two for the buyer to pay thru Paypal and if you want that cash in your bank acct - that s another 2-3 day wait - you may never sell that lot of books - a very low percentage of all ebay auctions actually get a buyer
1.) Promote your item on free sites (that pertain to books, maybe even a chat room about your book series.) 2.) When you sell your item you can list the duration you want to sell it for (if you ve already posted your item go to - revise item - under online auction there s a pull down menu under duration choose - 1 day). Then add a line to subject to get buys motivated - Sale ends in 24 hours! In your description add something like Great gift, buy now to get before the holidays 3.) Always remember to be descriptive as possible and use key words that people may search, this will make your listing come up in more searches. 4) Then wait, most people bid within the last hour (a lot of people use bidding software that bids on their behalf at the last second.)Good luck and happy holidays!
