Re: [IUG] OT -- Selling Library Property on Ebay

["Bill Hudson" <bhudson at lancasterlibraries dot org>]

Hi Giles,
Take a look at this listing. It is from the friends group of our largest
library. They've been conducting ebay sales for about five years now. They
are highly organized and their annual take from the "normal" book sale is
over $140,000 a year. For awhile, they had the largest sale on the east
coast. Let me know if you want some contact info, I am sure they'd be
willing to share their experiences.
