Quote of the Day

"When I am finishing a picture, I hold some God-made object up to it - a rock, a flower, the branch of a tree or my hand - as a final test. If the painting stands up beside a thing man cannot make, the painting is authentic. If there's a clash between the two, it's bad art."

Marc Chagall

How To Start Your Own Used Bookstore
 
This is a type of business you can start with low investment. People love bargains. If they can get the books they need at a discount, they'll be happy to buy them.

Publishers always have some books that are damaged and therefore could not be used for new. They would be happy to get some money for these books, no matter how small the amount, instead of throwing them away.

You can contract with several book publishers to pick up their damaged books at bargain prices. Then, you'll sell these books at a discount. Check with the publishers, wholesalers and retailers in your area to see what you might get from them. These people deal in new books and might be throwing away stuff that could be sold for big money.

You can pick up a lot of books from friends, relatives and neighbors. Some of them will be willing to donate books to help you build your inventory base.

Consider running a small ad in your local newspaper stating that you're looking for good used books to buy.

If your store is located in a "high traffic" area, or near a college or university campus, you're sure to have a large number of people drop in to your store. Shopping malls and near "new" bookstores, are good locations for a used book store. You can increase your store traffic by running ads in the college paper, yellow pages,


and your shopping newspapers. You can also print inexpensive flyers that invite people in to exchange books, or to just browse.

These flyers can be distributed by handing them out or placing them under the windshield wipers of cars in parking areas. Be on the lookout for opportunities to pick up cash from books that others need to get rid of quickly.

Be sure to find out what kinds of licenses and permits are required before launching your business. Usually, once you exchanged anything for money, you are effectively in business. As a business person, it is your obligation to find out the laws that affect you, and abide by them. Contact your local County Clerk's office or other appropriate office, for requirements.

You can make cash with other's junk. You have been presented with a unique money making business. Now, you have the instructions you need to start "cashing in" on the fabulous junk business.

Give this business a try. It can put huge amounts of cash in your pockets. It can be a dependable source of extra income for the maintenance of your homestead. It's up to you to get started.
