I am lucky in that I am a steward of a Little Free Library. I always have a lot of fun picking books to fill my LFL. I also am lucky in that many are books I want to read myself. So, I have had to limit my own TBR. I allow myself no more than 20 books for myself- and if there is something I want to read, I have to give one from my TBR stash. I have had some problems with resellers coming to my LFL and scanning the books and I have been cleaned out before. So now I only put out half newer more popular books and the rest are good shape, but older. Thank you for sharing your sourcing places with us.

Hey! Thanks so much for sharing and I love your TBR restraint! Thanks for hosting a LFL, I love to donate to the MANY that are around my area when I can. Most of my donatable books go to a local non profit that distributes to low income housing public elementary schools in my area. Thanks for watching!

Can you talk more about the criteria you use for buying books? I’m so used to Amazon and this seems fairly difficult. The Stephen king book sells for 6.27 for Amazon so I would never think to pick it up.

Hey! Yes I definitely can add that to my list, I think that is a great idea and I can see how it is a different metric! Thanks so much!

Goodwills in my area aren’t big on books. They told us they usually get tossed after 8months

@resellmaven 2 ай бұрын

That makes me so sad! Not all Goodwills are created equal for sure 😅 The secondary thrifts are really good for me right now so glad there are other options!

How do you scan ? I use scout iq

@resellmaven Ай бұрын

Hello, so I don't scan books at all, my sourcing is mostly just from visually scanning the shelves and reading the synopsis. I utilize the ebay app for some comping and the good reads app for book ratings and reviews. A lot of my sourcing is just picking up the things I know sell and mixing in a few items that a new or I want to test to see if there is a market for it.
