I’ve been thinking about going into used books to sell on Amazon Marketplace. I’m just curious whether it’s worth getting into right now. Are people turning profits or is there too much competition?
I’m tempted to say too much competition. Every time I go to a library book sale, there’s someone there with a bar code reader, methodically moving through the stacks and pulling out anything saleable. Seems like a fairly joyless undertaking, too.
My sister used to do it- go to garage sales and pick up books and flog them (on Ebay). She didn’t make much- it was an interest.
It’s a fun side business for me.
BTW–I have a Thread in SDMB Marketplace, with a link to my Amazon Storefront.
Look it up for an example.
