Second Hand Books - What are they really worth?

What is my second hand book worth?
It is often hard to know what to sell a second hand book for on ebay. I've found the following are quick and easy ways to get a good idea if your book is worth selling and what to sell it for.

Seach ebay for the same book. Is it selling? What are people happy to pay for it?
Don't forget to look at international sites as well - especially the UK and USA.
Go to amazon.com and amazon.co.uk. This is a very easy way to see what the same book sells for on the second hand market.
At the end of the day, a book is worth what someone is prepared to pay for it. Don't expect good prices for mass produced fiction, but don't be surprised if something from the back of your bookcase is now out of print and that there are people out there who really, really want it.
How do I convince a seller to buy my book?
A few extra minutes work will help you to sell your book. One of the best things about selling published work is that professionals have already done a lot of the hard work for you when it comes to describing and selling a book.

Books need a good description. Tell your buyer a bit about the book or the story.
