before we buy

Not really having second thoughts, just reconsidering the buying of books. Before we burn gas and time we need to decide what we are going to buy and why. Why spend money just to toss the books into a tub? If we buy, when we buy, they need to be books that we know we can sell on the internet. I'll hang onto these numbers for re-contact later.
Questions we should be asking:
How old are the books we are looking for?
Can we sell (is it worth our time) to try and sell these on the WEB?
If we don't sell the books what are we going to do with them?
Does it sound like the trip to bumf--- Va. is worth it or are these folks just looking for someone to haul away their trash?
Right now I think we should focus on building a WEB presence, generating fundage from sales and take it from there. We can always advertise locally again, next time we just need to specify what we are looking for
I do think that hardback or trade paperback editions will sell better on the WEB. Otherwise we're essentially a GoodWill or BookExchange.

Still need to get together on Saturday.
