    Luckily I know someone who works at one of the library book stores. She offered for me to scan in the back! Didn’t even have to ask. Thanks Rachel😘

    The dude at Goodwill actually growls?! Ok that's a new one. I was in a local used book store, first time trying to source (not a good plan, place is huge and I had no clue what I was doing, not even close, lol). I felt so weird and just ended up walking out with anxiety. After I was like, wait why do I care, I am paying for them it isn't like I am doing anything wrong.

    Hi Steve
    It helps to get to know everyone that works at local thrifts...I know a manager at my local thrift store that allows me to look in the back before they bring books out yeah !

    I actually did something like this. I listed an ad on nextdoor neighbor it just said books wanted. You would not believe how many people messages me to come get the books. I got over 200 books just from that ad. But the cool thing was one lady said she runs estate sales and is always looking for someone to take them last day😁 and another lady called me I had my number on the ad asked what I was doing with the books I told her and she said she's very good friends with a program called friends of the library and she will keep me in mind if she comes across books🙂

    @Raiken Profit If you go to Walmart, they have ear candles. It is not painful at all and it will help with the sinus issue. Also, I would take oregano oil capsules to kill the infection and boost up on probiotics to strengthen the immune system. Presto

      When I sell books on consignment, it is a 50-50 split on net profits.

    What’s up Raiken! Man I love the content. You are an amazing resource.
    I find books at my job all the time that passengers leave behind. Really good books. Sometimes just bought hours from the time I find them perhaps on the airplanes I clean.
    What would say is the best way to sell them? They are mostly fiction books and I find they don’t do well on EBay. So would it be beneficial to open a FBA acct. for this sole purpose?

    • @Raikenprofit
      @Raikenprofit  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Typically fiction is on the lower end of resell. You can definitely try it FBA, but you might do better finding a local book shop with a buying program!

    I have started with books and am new to it. i am wanting to know what are some types of books are normally worth money IE cooking, auto repair, politics? I stop by shops on the way to pick up the kids so i would rather spend less time and grab 10 then go home and scan/list and just donate the lesser ones.

    • @Raikenprofit
      @Raikenprofit  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Textbooks and non-fiction books typically sell the best! I would suggest looking through the sold listings as you can, so you can get a feel for what is selling.
