blewcrush,

I think this has potential. However, I am not sure if I am clear on how you will operate your website as a garage sale kind of website. Will you set up collection of old/used books, and then if someone is interested in the book and buys it from your website, you would then ship the book to them?

Or would you simply connect someone who wants to get rid of his/her book to another who is interested in obtaining that book? and they would figure out payments, shipments, etc between themselves?

Also, this may be a dumb question, but is your goal to make profit? Have you thought about how you will monetize this process? Charge a fee per exchange, place a markup on the price of the book?

You may have already thought about these questions, but I just wanted to bring them up just in case.

Let me know if I can help.
