Comment on Q&A: What type of scanner do you recommend for booksellers? by Micah

Hi Paul.

I’m wondering how this all worked out for you? I’m looking at moving an existing (but ity-bity) bookstore online for the first time and considering starting up with Homebase. It looks like ABEBooks might be a quick simple solution to bring in a few online sales. I’m wondering how to get all our books into an inventory management system though and thinking about a scanner setup. Was this as simple as plugging the scanner in and starting up the software? Do you have other suggestions after having done it this way for a while?

I have a mis-bound book by Dr. Suess pulished by Random House in 1973. The title is “Did I ever tell you how lucky you are?” When open it is upside down and backwards….Does this have any value?

I too have had problems with Gretmedia. Once she (or he, since I have since found everything points to a Woody Hunt) discovered there was no tracking number she got a refund from me through Half.com. I have managed to get a hold of who actually got the book and she verified that she did INDEED receive my book, but Half.com has yet to do anything about it.

I am in the process of taking gretmedia (Gretchen/Woody Hunt) to small claims court and managed to get their information from EBay. If anyone needs this, please feel free to contact me at jmbperry@att.net and I will gladly pass it along. People like this really need to be stopped.

If another Venue has a lower Seller Fee why shouldn’t I charge less?

Ethics dictates I do so for the Customer

I really like the new postage system on amazon.com for the most part. Only thing I don’t like is you can print just the label, but unlike stamps.com and others they don’t automatically print a postage receipt with the tracking # on it. Not sure why they left that out since I always found that very convenient for attaching to orders. Now, if you want the tracking # on your order, you have to write it on there. Otherwise, I like the system.
