    Textbooks
    I have a quick question. I want to start a online textbook business where I can purchase them cheap. What website should I go to? :confused:
    Also, do anyone know of any successful dropshipping websites?? :confused:
    Thanks

    EBay is FULL of vendors that do drop shipping.

    As for buying books, do you want to buy new or used? If new, then go to the publishers.

    I wish you luck, but I'm not sure why you think you can compete with Amazon or Barnes and Noble.

    There are some websites that sell international books which is a lot cheaper than the original. These books can than be sold at a real low price below retail and profit still can be made.

    Yes I'm aware that textbooks cost much less in Europe.

    Frankly, I feel the electronic book mfgs are missing a real bet here. If I were them I would give away the readers to schools. Then sell the books to them. The publishers could then sell books at a fraction of what print books cost and still make a profit. Schools and students would save significant amounts. Plus, doing research and reivew would be easier since they could do electronic searches.

    A win-win situation all around.
