Rich Dog Millionaire™

Author Steve Weber begins his book, The Home-Based Bookstore, by saying: “Selling used books on the internet is one of the greatest opportunities available to small entrepreneurs today.”  Weber has sold over $1 million in used books to customers in over 30 countries. You can start small, making a few hundred dollars a month, maybe beginning with books on your own shelf; and you can grow it into a full-time business. First, Weber tells you where you can find used books, and he explains what kind of books to search for — versus the types of books to avoid (i.e., fiction mostly, especially books that have been best-sellers since, obviously, there’s a lot of copies out there). He then goes into where to sell your books. Amazon, of course, is on the list. If you go to a book detail page on Amazon, you will see an option to buy a used copy of the book. Here, booksellers of all sorts sell their wares. Abebooks is another major marketplace. (You can also build your own site.)

Weber teaches you how to price the books, inventory them, and manage your business, from sales to fullfillment, to customer service, and — one of our favorite topics — advanced automation. There’s an interesting chapter on collectible books (people are looking for first editions). Robert Chamber’s 1939 classic “The Big Sleep” currently goes for over $12,500.
