If you read my other blogs, you've no doubt learned about my love of books.
We went to the local library book sale and saved a TON of money. I mean, one brown paper sack full of books for $2.00 is quite a bargain considering how much only one book costs new.
Used books may not always be in perfect shape, and that's okay. Life happens. If you have kids and/or pets, then you know what I mean. :)
Sometimes, I find vintage classics or duplicate copies of my favorite books that I resell or give as gits. Last year I found several copies of a certain trendy book and was able to sell all of them but one which I gave as a gift. The profit of which more than paid for my trip to the book sale.
If you want to resell books, I suggest you do a lot of research. 'Buy what you know' and have Internet access to check what price they are going for currently before you buy. But really, $2.00 a bag full isn't too much to lose if you do make a mistake on a book's value. My daughter bought two possible resale books in her bag. After we looked them up, we found out she won't be making a lot of money on them but they are books she likes and can keep them for her family or she can sell them and get her $2.00 back.
Goodwill is a good book place too! Make a Book Budget before you go and get ready to save money! It is recycling too....
Don't buy more than you can carry or care to dust! :)
