I'm thinking about starting a business that sells used books. What are some of the pros and cons of doing so?

Pros:
 • You can make a good profit from selling used books since they are usually much cheaper than new ones.
 • Selling used books is also environmentally friendly because it reduces waste.
 • It's easy to get started since you don't need a lot of capital or space.

Cons:
 • There is less demand for used books, which means you may have trouble finding buyers.
 • The risk of not making enough money to cover your costs is higher than with other types of businesses.
 • You must be willing to handle customers directly and take returns when necessary.
