I think that anyone who wanted to earn enough to pay WA tuition could do it by selling books. Most people have books laying around the house, out in the garage, and out in the outhouse.

You can easily tell if a book has value just by seeing what the title is selling for on Amazon.com, Alibris.com or ABEBooks.com. Then you can list your book as a seller on Amazon.com as an Amazon seller which will cost you nothing at all.

You might notice on Amazon that some books are selling for only one penny. That is because they gain a new customer and also make a profit. How? If Amazon.com gives then an allowance that is more than the cost of mailing the book, they get the difference. It may only be a buck or so but you will be going by the post office anyway.

Example: You are paid to ship the book $3.00. It cost you $1.42 to ship it "book" or "library" rate. You earn, applying my education in advanced engineering math, of $1.58. Wow!

When you get a lot of books, you can go to Alibris.com and list all your books there. Just follow their guide lines.

You can also list books on your site and sell them from there. More later on that.

One of our visitors who would like to be a member is in tough straits. He could establish himself in this business as his start to marketing on the Internet. Who knows, he might find another copy of Birds of Mexico.
