Selling On Ebay Books

How do people make money on half.com (or Ebay) selling books for 75 cents?
I recently decided to tackle my overflowing bookcase and get rid of some books I know I will never read again. I went to half.com (part of ebay) and my books were selling for 75 cents. I know that the shipping I get reimbursed is never enough so there is no way I would make any money on these items. Why are so many people selling their things at prices like these if they are not making a profit? I see people selling coupons on ebay for 50 cents with free shipping. I mean, really, they have to clip them and pay for postage, what are they gaining?
Actually, if you get a good price on padded envelopes, the shipping reimbursement usually leaves you with a little profit.
Every 75 cent book you sell will add to your feedback reputation, which will help you to sell *more* books and which will help you to sell the higher priced books in your inventory.
Also, the most important thing for me, is that selling the books, even at such a small profit, gets them out of my house and into someone else’s house – someone who wanted to read the book, anyway & who was looking for a bargain. I don’t mind helping out with that kind of system. And, I appreciate it, myself, when I’m on the buying end of the transaction.
