Subject: BookMooch, Amazon, and Ebay for discarded books
From:    Lisa McColl <LMcColl_at_mc3.edu>

I'm working on an article about alternatives to the dumpster for 
unwanted library books. I would love to include some examples. Does 
anyone have examples of how many books they've sold to Amazon and /or 
Ebay, for example, and how much money they have made from that? Does 
anyone use BookMooch? How much credit have you earned for Alibris by 
using Better World Books?

Thanks so much for any input you have!

Sincerely,
