For those of you who read my last post, I decided to put out a bigger Dr. Seuss lot (Bright and Early Beginner Readers) to see if it would result in more money. You know, sometimes, bigger is not necessarily better. I have observed that some book lots, regardless of size, do well because there is a particular rare or highly popular book in the lot that buyers are seeking. This can throw off one's research, if you're just looking at numbers.
Anyway... just the other day I sold 32 Dr. Seuss books in a lot and made $81.00! Yippee! However, please know that this particular lot cost me the most I had ever invested - $28.60. Why did I spend so much collecting? This being my fourth time to sell these types of children's books, I knew I should get at least $2 - 3 per book in the end. My research and past experience gave me the confidence to take this risk.
So, next time you see "Green Eggs and Ham" or "The Foot Book", you might stop and consider starting a collection. It could really pay off big in the future. I've already started my next collection.
Happy hunting!
