Selling Books And Textbooks - How Pooling Can Help

By Aaron D Reed

If you are interested in selling your books online then there are some other things you should do to maximize your profits. These are simple little ideas that should help you and your friends clear out some space while making extra money. In this article I wish to discuss the process of pooling your books together for several big orders.

My first experience selling books online was actually part of a school fund raiser. The parent association would regularly hold used book sales to help parents get rid of their old textbooks while giving new students a chance for deals on books. The problem was that anytime textbooks or paperbacks went out of circulation there would be a glut in supply. These worthless books would then be burned to make room. I thought this was a waste and insisted on finding an online route for the books. This started my fascination with selling books online.

The lesson that I learned from this is that you can function very well by pooling books together for an online book buyback program. They actually make it quite easy to sell multiple copies of books at the same time, so it is to your benefit to take care of big orders in one fell swoop.

This is one tip I can give to parents with children who are going to school. Your child's education will undoubtedly end up with you having a full bookshelf of books that serve no purpose other than to take up space. Once your child's done with a grade you should run the ISBN numbers for your books and find out whether you can sell any of them. Write down the titles and pass a list around to the other parents and then see if you can work out a way to sell them as one big fund raiser. You'd be surprised at how quickly they can add up.

Even if you aren't doing it as part of a big group, you should still try and pool your books in whatever way possible. Don't do your orders in chunks. It is a big pain to get multiple boxes if you don't have a good source. By running all of your books as part of one big pull you will be able to sell them online without much hassle later on. You're effectively sacrificing a bit of time upfront to reduce your potential headache later.

All in all, it should be easy to see that pooling your books is a good idea. If you want to sell your books online you should do your best to combine orders and make the most money that you can without wasted effort.
