After several years of trying to find the perfect product to sell on Ebay, Mel got into the book selling business almost by accident. Both Mel and his wife were pleasantly surprised to be able to sell a .25 garage sale book for $3 to $5 on half.com and other Internet sites. The couple would carefully pick out the best-used books they could find and list them on the Internet. The problem was that sometimes almost new books would not sell because so many good copies of the book were already for sale.
