More Final Day Book Sale Numbers

I have been getting a lot of emails from readers who were surprised to find out that they can make money on the last days of a library book sale.  I just added up my numbers from a book sale that I attended on the last day only a few weeks ago.  The prices weren’t as low as I was hoping (basically 50 cents per paperback & $1 per hardcover).  I also had to travel to the sale so I spent money on gas.  While the numbers aren’t as impressive as my last book sale post I will still make $150-$250 not including gas cost.  The funny thing about this sale is that is was advertised as having 150,000 books and was only 3 days long.  Despite this, I didn’t see anyone else scanning books on the last day!  It just goes to show that there is money to be made on the final day of a book sale and very little competition in your way.

Cost Low Value High Value Low Profit High Profit
Last Day $52 $206 $339 $154 $287
It's very calm over here, why not leave a comment?
