Thank you so much for your wisdom, I love reading books and just love books in general I always wanted to sell books and after watching your videos I posted 3 today (My first day as a book salesman) don't know when they will sell, but I am definitely going to spend the time to earn some extra moneybrThank you so much!

The friends of the Library in our area is a small shelf But every few months or so they have a large book sale on the lawn at the library I'll have to see if any of the larger ones are in our area Comment from : Joyce Nagy |

Enjoyed this Learned a few new things Thank you Comment from : Margo |

My biggest issue with library book stores is if they are library books (marked as former library copies) Those tend to have a lot less value But I still shop library book sales as they do get donated books to resell that are not ex-library copies In competing with other book pickers, the #1 advantage I have is they ALL rely on bar code scanning They just don't know literature So that is my edge I've found some great vintage books that the "experts" passed on Anything vintage will not have a bar code on it Old detective, westerns, sci-fi can have good value, and I often lot them You just have to get them cheap Old car repair manuals can also do well, particularly if they are brand specific On hardbacks, avoid book club copies, they are obvious once you know what to look for Note, some vintage stuff book club can do OK! I've also done well on college yearbooks (needs to be either a major college or something with special interest) Books tend to sell slow and you need a good inventory system so you can find them when they do sell If you live in a humid climate, they need to be stored in climate controlled area, so no carports, basements, or garages They are super easy to ship, and the markup can be anywhere from 10 times to 100 times or even more!

Loved your video I'm a small reseller and tend to look for about anything that will resell I've only sold a few books but recently I found about 30 Agatha Christie paperbacks mostly from early 70s I found at a small thrift store that is run by volunteers and they were only 25 cents per book I put them in three different lots a couple weeks ago and the second lot just sold They averaged close to two dollars a piece After that experience and watching your video I'm definitely going to be hunting for more Comment from : jamison8185 |

I'm switching from clothes & stuff to books I absolutely like selling books! I did have a customer that left on his review "library book" they gave me a 5 star, but do ppl not like library books? Alsohow do you handle covering the cost of shipping heavy books and making a profit? Comment from : RC74 |
 |
Looks like everyone is lucky and making big bucks selling books in these comments How real? 🤔It’s very hard to get money out of ebayers The most I got from a book was $23 on ebay The amount of work to find a book or lot, that may sell for anything is hardly worth it Comment from : flyingcat2054 |
 |
Great tips I am new, have been using medial mail with dvds and blu rays, and stuff I want to get into books, too, though Comment from : Real Eyes REALIZE Real Lies |
 |
While I like the library bookstores, most are super picked over The library sales are good, but not on day 1 $5 bag day is great The GW Outlet added another 50c to their books so, hardbacks are 279 leaving no profit on books to sell They rotate out 1000's of books per day barely selling 5 Comment from : Henry S |

Fiction I really avoid the paperbacks I just don't have the knack for discovering the books that retain any value Comment from : Todd Warner |

I’d like to hear more about your storage structure, accounting, how to price, what kind of pictures you advertise with, when to promote a listing and when not to, and how to reinvest it Comment from : Justin Linn |
 |
Great content and tips I agree with you on the scanning I’d rather use my intuition and knowledge rather than clog up aisles scanning books looking like a fool Not to mention drawing attention to yourself and getting questions Which is the exact opposite of what I would want If in doubt I might check eBay sold listings Comment from : Shmoedaddy |

Nice tips I will keep it in mind I don't usually mess with books but it doesn't hurt to expand knowledge A few months ago I was at an estate sale where they wanted a quarter for each piece of media I grabbed a bunch of DVD's and some CD's Mostly stuff I knew I could lot up and make an easy sale Also picked up a 16 book set of Mormon children's Bible stories Big heavy things but I figured having an entire set for $4, I couldn't go wrong They sold about a month later for $70 plus shipping Comment from : maxhatty |

 |
This is 11 months old but was so helpful I lucked out that my existing books happened to all be nonfiction mostly vintage/antique science books/journals and historical or hobby non-fiction Good to know I have a good eye and you gave me great ideas Comment from : Laurie Hurley |
 |
My thoughts on book sourcingbrbrPersonally, I don't understand why an experienced book scouter would scan every book Yes, you might miss a few valuable books, but you are better off using your trained eye to look for winnersbrbrI do go to thrift stores, but I avoid the large chain stores The smaller ones tend to have higher quality stuff at reasonable pricesbrbrYou can make money on fiction, but you will have to create book lots It's a bit more work, but can be profitablebrbrWhen it comes to non fiction, the more specific the subject, the better A generic cookbook probably won't fetch much, but a book on clay pot cooking techniques of Navajo people probably willbrbrYes, small publishers have smaller print runs and hence, books are more valuable The only major publisher I have luck with is Penguin Comment from : Steve Davenport |
 |
new sub here love the info question i go to goodwill i will check the books for buyback price on the spot it just takes so long loading is there any app that is faster for the buyback books thank also willing to pay Comment from : Alberto True |

 |
Stumbled on your channel Great information You are an asset to the bookselling community I especially appreciate that you advocate for using your mind and not just the technology All your tips are spot on The only thing I might add is that even with more common books or authors that have larger (but not millions) runs there is an art to adding value to those books One example is the setting like the time period or the location You may cover that in another video though Great job Keep on -Shawn (Membrana Books) Comment from : Gideons Sword |

 |
I just found your channel and became a subscriber If u don’t mind I have two questions (Maybe because this is the first video I’ve watched of yours you’ve answered this and other prior videos but I thought I’d ask) where do you normally sell most of your acquisitions? Do you put them on eBay or do you put them on Amazon or where is your recommended outlets for sales? Also you mention scanner app but every time I look at scanner apps I can’t find one that really works well for an android Do you have any suggestions in that area? Thank you very much great video! 👍 Comment from : K Hoyle |
 |
