[QUOTE="anonymous6, post: 1115402"] i know a little bit about books so years ago i sold one on Amazon for 5 bucks. so i bought 5 more at thrify stores and sold them and so on and so on. so now i have about 1500 books that cost me 5 bucks and are worth almost 50,000 at current prices on Amazon or ebay. it's really a hobby for now. i just LOVE going to thrifts and yard sales and finding valuable books. i don't even consider the time involved because i love doing it. it's a thrill getting a $100.00 book order that only cost me a dollar. the highest order that i got was for $249.95 for a book about a piano composer that I bought for a dollar. just last week i bought a book from a ebay seller for $1.99 that i have sold in the past for a hundred dollars. now i just specialize in a certain subject that I know really well. it just took trial and error to find out what people will pay big bucks for. sorry can't say what it is. i don't need any competition. i buy from a lot of ebayers that haven't the time or inclination to research what they have. so when i retire , i'll probably do a lot of this.
