You see, I have a lot of books here at home that there is little shelf space for other things. I plan to to have a mini-business by selling these used books at a cheaper price. I plan to set up a website and a bank account so people can also but it online.
I also planned before to sell it by consignment basis to a bookstore, but i though selling them myself would be much better.
I know there are a lot of people who life to read, and some of the books here at home are not my interest, but may be the interest of others.
You think this online book mini-business is a good idea?
Thanks!

you've gotta let us know what you decide to do! I'm eager to hear how your mini-book business idea is going. As I mentioned before, I've sorta dabbled in book selling, mainly because I have sooo many darn books. :-)
At any rate, good luck whatever you end up doing! I'm looking forward to hearing how it goes.

Thats a great question, and I've wondered the same thing. What I've done is sold my books on ebay, or half.com. If your books are in good condition, you can probably make a little bit of money from them on ebay. Personally I think ebay would be the easiest way to do it. And you'd be surprised that people are always looking for a particular book. I just recently sold a paperback copy of David Copperfield online. I mean, I figued that one was a dime a dozen and that I wouldn't be able to sell it, but amazingly, I did.
Whatever you do, good luck!

Yes!..online book business is a good thinking and we can do it as part time in the midst of other work.One of my cousin is doing it as a full time job by opening a website and he is doing good.
