I know nothing about the stuff you are turning over, so I probably miss many opportunities to make a buck.

I went to a small book sale and found some childrens books by an English illustrator that I know will bring a modest return. ABE books is driving me nuts as a way to price books lately. The disparity between the highest price for a book and the lowest price for the same book is most often hundreds of dollars! Why are so many booksellers overpricing their books by such a dramatic amount?
