Easy Money with Children's Books

Have you ever walked by a box at a garage sale full of softcover children's books? You know the ones.... Clifford the Big Red Dog, Little Critter, Berenstain Bears, Franklin the Turtle, authors you've never heard of.... well... you get the idea.

You probably thought there isn't any money to by made in those mass produced books. Right?

Well, I just listed 250 of them on Ebay and sold them for $249.00! I bought ALL those books for approximately 30 cents each. Some titles I spent more on because my researched told me which ones were highly wanted by teachers. (TIP: Having those books in my listing brought more lookers.) Others that were not so well known, I spent closer to a dime.

I've done this sort of selling a few times now and the profit margin is good!

Here's some past sales of mine:

185 books - sold for $225
195 books - sold for $180
106 books - sold for $100
91 books - sold for $115
163 books - sold for $165
166 books - sold for $150

I've seen other sellers do even better with this same niche.

So... if you're curious on what books work well selling in lots/groups, leave me a comment. I'm working on an ebook explaining this niche and if you leave me a comment with your email address, I'll notify you as soon as it's available. You will also receive 50% off the price for leaving me a comment!

It's almost ready and knowing this niche would be a great way for you to make some money for Christmas.

Good luck!
