When Amazon first started selling used books, I used to unload all the review copies I get of crappy business/management books for decent coin. But after a while, prices collapsed, and now it's not worth the trip to the post office (since you have to hand all packages 16 oz. and over to a human clerk - part of the war on terror, you know!). $7.00 is kind of high, actually.
