How to Become an Antiquarian Bookseller


   Further to Avril Harper, I love the videos which are regularly posted on Youtube by King Human. Once again this guy keeps the sales patter to a minimum whilst still providing useful and usable information. Here is a basic system he put forward once to get you started in the Antiquarian Book Business:

1)      Go to Ebay.

2)      Go to Books – Antiquarian and Collectable

3)      Go to Completed Listings under £1000.

4)      Find a sold item with more than 10 bids.

5)      Trawl the net to find that very product at 50% or less of the Ebay sold price.

 

   It’s as simple as that. It sounds too basic but King Human shows it working in practice.

   This isn’t something to pin your hopes on but I think you should make one sale a year if you give it a bit of focus. Aim to make £50 within a year – that might give you the taste for it.
