The trees that books built

j4You want to sell your old books. You probably want to buy more books too. You want to make MONEY. And you want to help the environment, natch (or at least you'll say so if it helps you pull that cute hippy chick with the blue hair).
And, being a 21st Century Schizoid Geek, you want to do all this online, NOW.
Fortunately, Green Metropolis already exists, so we don't have to invent it.

Date: 2004-07-07 08:49 am (UTC)The drawback appears to be that if they don't sell they end up in limbo -- I can't see anything about expiry/withdrawal/etc.

Date: 2004-07-07 09:03 am (UTC)I think the potential problem with this is that unless you're a very environmentally conscious hippy chick with blue hair then you're not likely to want to sell a book for three quid on this service when you could have got six quid for it on ebay/ABE/amazon/whatever, so the quality of the books on offer is likely to be limited. And a similar argument from the other side applies for the potential buyers.

no subject
Date: 2004-07-07 03:35 pm (UTC)I think the main problem is more that not enough people know about this service. A fact which I am doing my bit to rectify, & to that end I might well mention it in the other place as well.
