They were able to figure out what was being said perfectly. That's what our brains have trained us to do. We see the syntax of the sentence, figure out the word, and move on. 🖤🐝🖤 6d

Looking for info/advice

Do you sell books on Pango?

I've been picking up lots of cool vintage/antique books at estate sales. Do people sell old books on Pango?

What is your experience selling on this app?

Thanks already to @dabbe for responding to a comment on another post 🙂

dabbe YW! 💚💜💚 3w
Librarybelle I‘ve been selling non-vintage this past year. It is cyclical for me—lots of sales in a short period of time, followed by slow periods. Super customer service. Super easy to do. 3w
BarkingMadRead I have been selling non vintage books for over a year. I tried selling a few old Nancy Drew‘s at one point with no luck. I love the app though, I use the money to buy books I want 3w

This memoir is about Allison's life since losing her husband "Twitch" to suicide.
