Follow on Google News | Guidegecko Launches Marketplace For New And Used GuidebooksGuideGecko.com, the innovative publishing platform and bookstore for travel guides, today unveils its new marketplace functionality enabling third party sellers to list their inventory for sale.
By: GuideGecko The new marketplace allows bookstores to extend their customer base across local and international markets. Publishers can showcase and sell their titles to new readers worldwide. Customers enjoy reduced shipping costs and delivery times, as well as a larger selection of books from smaller publishers. Customers can also sell their used guidebooks. "Guidebooks typically become outdated rather quickly, and are read only once while on vacation. Readers can now sell their used guidebooks instead of piling them up on their bookshelf. That's good for both the buyer and the seller," says Daniel Quadt, Founder and Managing Director of GuideGecko. "Our marketplace also opens a new online sales channel to the thousands of brick and mortar bookstores and smaller publishers worldwide - and customers benefit through a larger choice of titles and lower prices." Sellers simply enter the ISBN of the book they want to sell and state their selling price, and their offer is listed immediately on GuideGecko.com. The service is offered without a registration, setup or listing fee. GuideGecko asks for a low sales commission of 15%, which only applies when a book actually sells. The new functionality will officially be unveiled on the FRANKFURT BOOK FAIR from October 14-18, 2009.
