I visit these book sale quite a bit. It is these 'business people' makes me uncomfortable. It is a hard way to make money by scanning books one by one. If it is truly a 'book' business, the library really should stop book sale and subcontract it to you guys directly and put them on Ebay, Amazon, where ever the profit is maximum. But again, the idea of these book sale is not just for profit, I think.
My friend does this, and pays his rent with it. Except it doesn't take 80 hours a week. This guy is doing something wrong.
Definitely: "If I can tell from a book's Amazon sales rank that I'll be able to sell it in one day, I might accept a projected profit of as little as a dollar."

There's no way that's worth even the time it takes to package the book for shipping.
