hi guys

I know this isn't exactly a e commerce concept but I was hoping to get some feedback on a concept I have come up with

we all know of sites like flippa where you can buy and sell websites, as well as apptopia the site to buy and sell apps

I though of a similar site where people could buy and sell the rights to ebooks.

it would be similar if not the same as the other sites I mentioned but just covering ebook sales.

what is your opinion on the concept ?

    I guess it can be interesting! But I think that you need to contact people who are professionals in it, maybe some writers or publishers. And ask them whether they would like to use your future service and what features would be useful.

      that's a good point

      I did myself produce over 10 ebooks and put them on amazon to make some passive income, and a site like this would defiantly be one I would look at to buy and sell some books.

      just looking if other people in the ebook business would use a website like it

    Idea is really interesting just some issues I see could be a problem. Not many buyers will pay i.e. $1K without reading the book first. How many books buyer should read before making a decision to buy it? I hope You have a brilliant plan how to make perfect summary of the ebook
    Anyways best of luck!

    I would simply get in touch with ebook creators and publishers and ask them would the A. Be interested in this service, and B. Pay for this service? Don't do a thing on the business side of things until you can prove there is a market there.

    Amazon repricing software that helps you win the Buy Box more often. eBay repricing also available.
