I like my runs, but I might decide soon that I like other kinds of collecting better. One day I decide, then the next I un-decide. I can't decide, so I keep accumulating.

As already stated, the idea of selling $5 books is a ton of work. Doubtful you could make a living off that, with the exception of the score of a lifetime...and even then, you'd need tens of thousands of books to keep going year after year. My preference is a slightly bigger ($) business model.

I suppose if I knew they were going to sell pretty quickly it would be ok, particularly if I could list 10 copies at once or whatever. It is different selling $2, $3, $5 or whatever books here because people usually buy more than one thing to spread out shipping costs. It is the packing and shipping a single book that kills me. A couple of years ago Aweanorder was talking about books he did quick $5 flips on he paid $1 for on amazon and how it made sense for him. At the time that did not sound worth it, but he seemed to be inferring he had a system where it worked for him. I suppose if you can use stock images that makes it easier.
