Online Rare Book Broker

  Online Rare Book Broker business.

  Business Overview

  Rare edition books and celebrity and author autographed books are prized possessions of many rare book collectors. Thus an opportunity exists to develop a Web site that functions as a portal to bring rare book collectors together to buy, sell, and trade books. Once again, this type of specialty site should be designed with the visitor in mind and include information and services that will keep them coming back on a regular basis. These services could include a rare book auction service within the site, a classified advertisement section that visitors could utilize to post notices about books they wished to purchase or sell, and an online chat forum so book collectors can swap information with each other. Revenue sources include fees for classified advertisements and auction services, renting advertising space, and selling books and print format valuation guides.
