Today I was looking for any books by PT Barnum, yes the circus guy. As a business man there is a lot to study from Barnum’s writing. I will post more about Barnum in a future post, now back to my eBay story.  In the listings I found some one selling a PT Barnum book and contacted the seller to find out how much it would cost to ship to Canada. The seller wrote back and said it was a pdf ebook and was selling it for $2.99 which is cheap except this is a free ebook anyone can download from public domain ebook sites. After getting the reply I did a search and download my copy for free. I am not sure what this seller is doing is right since this is a free work that anyone can download. The it can also be a smart way to make some extra money. There are many people who are buying ebook readers and are willing to pay for ebooks to add to their reader. If you are looking for a product to sell on eBay then you might want to try a few ebooks and see how it goes. Most free ebooks are in the public domain and are very old, but I guess some people might search for them as I did.
