Online Bookselling 101
Quote:Since the invention of movable type the sale of new, used and rare books has been a large, steady worldwide market.

Even in today's competitive market, book gems can still be found in such pedestrian venues as flea markets, garage sales, thrift shops and even thrown out on curbs and in dumpsters... full article: http://www.ecommerce-guide.com/solutions...hp/3712001 |

Part 2 of the article, selling books on eBay:
Quote:One huge advantage for book dealers who do business on eBay is the quick pace of sales. Waiting for a book to sell on a listing service or a personal Web site can be like watching an acorn turn into an oak tree. By one account, it takes an average of two years for a $100 book to sell on the listing services, five years and longer for tomes $500 and up. In eBay auctions, books sell within three to 10 days, providing a cash flow that simply does not exist for most listing service sellers. full article: http://www.ecommerce-guide.com/essential...hp/3712296 |
