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.
