The Growing Marketing for Slightly Used Books

Startup Journal:

The Internet is creating a new and fast-growing category in the book-selling market — the barely-used book. An increasing number of consumers are snapping up used volumes online at invitingly cheap prices. These aren’t yellowing copies of out-of-print titles but often unblemished copies of newly published books — sometimes available just a few days after a book’s official publication date.

There’s a growing market for slightly used books. I find these at my local library’s regular “book sales� for next to nothing.

Could this be a nice work at home niche for you?

The key, of course, is turning a one time sale into repeat customers through building your list of potential future buyers.
