Day in the life of a Book Scout. How exciting. If it's a weekend you're out the door early as you might be able to hit a couple of garage sells to get things going. Generally you will develop a route that is long enough to make money but short enough that you don't lose burn up all your profits in gas. I just make sure I buy a couple of extra books to cover the gas.
Next you will probably have a series of Thrift Stores to check out. You scan the shelves looking for keepers that you know you can sell. You might be carrying a list of books that a book store is trying to find. You never know where you're going to find them.
Coffee is next while you drive to another thrift store. Here is a larger store and it will take more time. You can tell when you walk in that they have restocked there shelves. You hit the science fiction first and then move on looking for some classics and then dig into the non-fiction.
Well, now it's time to eat something and maybe pick up another garage sell. After this you have two boxes of books in back of your car that you sorted for one dealer who buys used books and also used text books. Since you work with the book seller on a regular bases he knows you will only bring in two boxes when you show up. So you carry in the first one, and go out and get the second one. Between customers he goes through the books and stacks up a pile wanting to take a closer look at them. You hit the shelves with your list and get lucky and find one book that you could resale to another store. It is in good condition.
You settle up with the book dealer who tells you he is interested in obtaining some Antiquarian Books, and you make note of this. He especially wants books that our out of print. The best part is that he gives you a discount on your book.
You take your remaining books and boxes and head for home. The sorting of the books starts again the next day as it will be a selling day. Time to cash in and get some extra money from book Dealers who Buy used books.
You can hardly wait to go out and get some cash and maybe find some more books. Not bad, not to bad at all.
I recommend highly investigating being a full time or part time Book Scout. If you need $20 or $100 tomorrow a book scout is trained to put cash in their pockets everyday. Book Sellers need books. When a Book Scout knows the tricks of the business, they can put cash in their pocket everyday. I know, I was a full time Book Scout and owned two Used Book Stores for over then years.
