I am selling a number of used books on Amazon. When determining my sell price on a particular book, I checked both Amazon and Half.com to see what other sellers had listed thier books for. I noticed that several sellers had the same books listed on both Amazon and Half. Does anyone list thier books on both sites at the same time?

You might get more answers regarding Amazon if you post your question in that forum.
For myself, I looked at Half.com but never tried using it (didn't like their terms), and I quit selling on Amazon last year as sales there trickled down to almost nothing for me.

Most book sellers list on Amazon and Half as well as other book sites. It seems you have to really spread your listings around if you want to sell anything.
I don't sell a whole lot of books, but I do list the same items on multiple fixed price sites.

Seems to me the only problem listing in both places would be that you'd have to be super organized so that, if you sell the book on one site, you delete it from the other right away. . . .

I make my living selling books so I guess I qualify to answer your question although I can’t speak for all sellers
It is common to list on Half.com and Amazon.com as well as other book sites. The more exposure the better. Personally I only list on Half.com and Amazon neither of which have been that great in sales since 9-11 but if you don’t list you won’t sell anything so definitely list on both.
