Many issues a company runs into when expanding their products is supply and demand. When beginning the expanding process they may run into an issue of too much supply and not enough demand or vice versa. Consumers' view of Amazon.com may change and their business with the company may also change, either for the better or worse.\n\nIf a company expands their product line for items consumers are not ready for, it may result in losses. A great example is HomeGrocer.com.\n\nWhen HomeGrocer.com originally came into the business scene, you couldn't turn the corner without seeing one of their trucks driving down the street, but the industry wasn't ready for home grocery delivery and they soon fell into the black hole of companys available but not widely used.\n\nThere are many other issues Amazon.com may run into.

Please be thoughtful to donate them to a University,or a Sheltered Workshop if they are listing anything for sales on line. \n\nAny not-for-profit organization would be blessed to have this donation if they are currently working with computers.  \n\nIf you find a Sheltered Workshop, give them the idea to take in donations of books that are rated R and not for resale at Good Will and list them on Amazon.com  Very kind of you to donate them.

Amazon is a place to shop and buy stuff.\n\nYahoo is a search engine, email, and all sorts of other goodies rolled into one.

I like half.com (owned by eBay) for selling books. Unless you are a high-volume seller, the fees are less on half.com than on Amazon. \n\nSome people like eBay, but I like the fact that on half.com (1) I set a price and (2) the listing stays up at no cost until the item sells. There is no financial risk at all in selling on half.com. They will also give you a "storefront" where shoppers can search all of your items for sale. There is no cost for this.\n\nThere are other sites that sell books, but many have monthly fees that will quickly wipe out any potential profit.\n\nCathy\nhttp://www.idealady.com/

Amazon will not give you that capability.  It would violate their customers privacy.

No.  Amazon sells products at their recommended retail price (rrp) or less.  However, if the product is out of stock, you are sent to a third party supplier (a section of the site called Amazon Marketplace), who can charge what they like.  Amazon has no control over this price.

I've gotten some great deals on Amazon.  They're more than books and CDs now.  I got shoes!  At like 10 bucks less than I've seen anywhere else.  Also lots of great deals on CDs. I like it better than ebay for regular purchases.  Sometimes with Ebay you really never now.
