Re: Amazon.com Advantage

**"bbmackey" b*@prodigy.net**

Revisiting the topic of selling books to Amazon.com through the Advantage 
program, I recently learned that they prohibit the selling of books that 
have been remaindered. That means that Graham might not be able to get 
Amazon listings for those remaindered books he has. I don't know what the 
policy is on books that just quietly faded away and didn't get reprinted 
when supplies ran low, but weren't marked for discard or priced low.

Here is the reasoning, quoted from the Amazon Advantage program information:

>Remaindered Titles

Please note that all titles submitted to the Advantage program must be 
in-print, new copies. We also ask that you have 25 to 50 copies of each 
title on hand and ready ship at all times during your membership.<

So that's the word from Amazon.
