Selling College Text Books

By Donald E. McKenzie

Most people do not know that you can sell used college books. College students know this as these services are advertised all around campus. In fact, college texts have gotten so expensive that students have a tendency to not write in their books as they can get a higher price for them when there is no underling and the dreaded yellow marker.

But for those people who go out and purchase college materials for resale, college text books are a good possibility of profits.

Publishers do not print new editions each year. So, used books are a better value for students. College text sell for big bucks - hundreds of dollar. It is a major expense in attending college.

This means big profits for the publishers. Some of these end up in places where buyers, or book scouts, can find them and sell them.

Most people do not know that there is a college price guide prepared for people who deal in used materials. The market in the bigger cities is a goldmine for those who want to work the market. Students want to purchase them, Used Book Stores want to purchase them and resale them, and everybody wants to make a profit.

This does not fall into the category of Antiquarian books, or rare materials, or collectible itmes, but is something that the neighborhood text dealer might be dealing in.

Starting a college class, check out the used market and look for good clean items. .It can save you some money.

I recommend highly investigating being a full time or part time Book Scout. If you need $20 or $100 tomorrow a book scout is trained to put cash in their pockets everyday. Book Sellers need books. When a Book Scout knows the tricks of the business, they can put cash in their pocket everyday. I know, I was a full time Book Scout and owned two Used Book Stores for over then years.
