Step 1 – Check the market value of new book
Whatever books you have, I want you to google the name or ISBN number of that book and check what is the price for the new book. You can go to any website like amazon and there are a lot of them. For example – a new nursing book is costing $100.
Step 2 – Check the value of used book
As of now you know what is the cost of new book, now go the website like booksrun, amazon, ebay etc and see how much you are getting for your book. Most likely it will not be much but that will give you an estimate. You might get a value between $20-$30(I did a basic search and mostly they will pay you somewhere in between 5-30% of actual cost).
Now, we know the actual worth of our books, but our aim is to sell books more than the price we are getting online.
