Books and Yarn Sale

Book Sale
Since the garage sale finished, I've had the extra books and some of the yarn sitting in the home office and the studio. I've recently re-arranged the home office, and took the opportunity to post the books onto Amazon for sale. I'm pleased to note that three of them sold in the first week. It was interesting to me that many of the books are listed on Amazon.com as 1 or 3 cents per book. I'm not sure how anyone can make any money doing this. I assume they save money in shipping from what Amazon charges.. and then they must have a huge volume.

At any rate, for personal sales, it was easy to do and effective so far. I figure after a month, if the book still hasn't sold, then I'm not out any $ and I can try another avenue.

My books are listed under "FiberDawn", I don't think there is a way to find just the ones I listed, but if you see the name, thats me!

Yarn Sale
For the yarn left over from the garage sale, I'm slowly photographing and listing on Ravelry. It seems to be the best solution. A great community and you know the yarn will get a good home.

I'm not planning on trying another venue for the yarn yet. I expect I just need to keep posting and with enough activity it will get noticed...

I do have in the back of my mind for yarn that doesn't get sold or traded through Ravelry, I'll use the knitting machines to make afghans. Most of the yarn that hasn't sold to date, is out of manufacture. So it isn't being made any more and wouldn't be worth spending time designing a pattern for it.

Also, FiberDawn on ravelry if you are looking for some yarn to buy!
