You know it’s funny how you can buy the previous edition of most university textbooks for $5 on eBay but the latest edition often with an annoying introduction costs you a cool Grant. I built myself a huge library of about 70 textbooks sitting in my closet, most of them totally unused. Often I’ll search for the most expensive book on a topic on Amazon and go get it on eBay w free shipping for five bucks
- BeetleB 4y agoIf anyone wants to make money inefficiently: Sell prior editions of textbooks using Amazon FBA. Surprisingly a lot of Prime members buy them at decent prices - - even in some cases two editions prior. For a few years every time my library had a book sale, I'd find plenty of them for about $4 each. The hope was to sell them for $20 or more. Figuring out which ones would sell was a bit of an art, though.
