I sell books. Mostly history books. They must not be generic history books, but books about specifics. For instance....History of US Since 1865 would not sell. But History of Jeff Davis County, Texas would sell.

Inside the US Civil War would not sell, but Cannoneers in the Army of Tennessee would sell. I actually buy books for $3.99 off the Hastings bargain rack and resell them. I bought a History of the US Marine Corps in the Civil War Volume I, which was a small run book off of a university press, for $3.99 and sold it the next night for $28.00. I bought a set of Persian Language Tapes for $3.99 and sold them for $26.00. However Japanese and German language tapes would not sell. It has to be sort of unique to sell well.

You could not make a living off of selling books unless you had a really good supply and steady stream. But, selling a few books here and there could help a bottom line.

Genealogy related books also sell well.

Thank you for that tip. At all the estate sales there are boxes of books to look through. I'll let him know specificity is important.
