A bunch more sales over the weekend, and then nothing. I’ve listed most of the books I think are going to sell at any profit on Amazon now, all 250 of them, and we still make a small loss on every other book or so. Making a loss on the odd book or two isn’t an issue, the lack of sales is.
We have spoken about market stalls or car boot sales, but they both come with problems. A market stall would require an imense amount of commitment shifting the books around and manning the store, plus paperwork and organisation. A car boot sale would require less commitment, but to shift fewer books and would mean getting up early on a Sunday; it might also mean sharing the stall with a homophobic idiot in order to reduce costs.
