How do i post an audio book on CD?  I have an 8 CD UNABRIDGED Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets i bought at a local library sale years ago.

Also, how many credits do i charge?  The ISBN number is covered by the library number system thing, i think, cause it doesn't show up in Posting a Book.

Typically, you would post it by the ISBN.  Is the paper with the ISBN covered up or is the cover?  If it's just the cover, you may be able to get the paper out by carefully pulling it from it's current location.  Audiobooks are normally valued at 2 credits.

If you can't find the ISBN or the ISBN is used by a different binding, you'll need to post it without an ISBN.  Here's the Help Center on how to do that.

It should automatically charge 2 credits for the audiobook.

If posting without an ISBN, be sure to choose "audio CD" as the book type.  (The default is "paperback.")

Try looking at the individual CDs -- sometimes they have the ISBN printed on them in tiny, tiny numbers, often near the hole in the center of the disc.
