Comment Maybe there are other reasons for the sale? (Score 1) 445
There could also be other aspects of the sale that are damaged by people scanning.
The sale could be a loss leader for the organization, a way to get book buyers down to see the library. (or stop by the charity shop)
The mixture of books could be part of the entertainment value of the sale, with a few gold nuggets mix into a lot of sand, it is the searching and looking, and reading a bit that is part of the fun.
Having someone scan and remove all the gems is not going to get the buyer and therefore the seller what they are looking for.
Maybe this person should offer to scan and price books for a fee. He I suspect he could make more money in the same time, and have the library staff help help him do it.
