Rare Books Bring a Premium on Amazon
A friend of mine loves books and has turned that love into a profit center. She has used her extra cash to pay down her credit card debt and to purchase the little extras that she used to charge. Here’s how she does it:
Cell phone in hand, she cruises garage sales, community book sales and used bookstores. She calls her husband, who has Amazon.com on his computer screen. She reads him book ISBN numbers and he sees what the going used-book-rates are. When she discovers an out-of-print or rare book with a high resale value, she buys it.
This resourceful woman has made hundreds of dollars buying and reselling used books. If you don’t have a significant other or friend who can research on demand, you can certainly take a notebook with you to log the location, book title and author, and ISBN of books that you suspect might bring a premium on Amazon. Once home, you can do your own research and return to purchase the books you want to resell.
