I only use Half and Yahoo Used Goods ( fomerly Yahoo Warehouse ) for books. Selling books on Half is a real challenge as there are far too many sellers willing to accept the 75 cent minimum to $2 or $3 for a huge percentage of all books listed. They get 15% of the money. I have sold over 250 books on Half but it is very infrequent now that I make a book sale. Yahoo Used Goods is very slow as very few buyers use it. I've only sold two dozen books there since it started. You can list the same books on both sites as sales are few and far between and you an adjust inventories in plenty of time.
Most Abe and Albris books are listed on Half and Yahoo Used Goods anyway as well as several other places. I checked out Abe a year or two ago and it was something like $25/month for unlimited listings. I haven't checked since then though.
