Tired of book scouting? Print them yourself!

Have you ever wished you could be the exclusive seller of a hot book -- by printing them yourself?

Well, this seller did just that, and made quite a few bucks at it -- until Amazon and eBay pulled the plug.

The seller downloaded a free e-book by business guru Seth Godin and printed hundreds of paperback copies. Sales were so good, Amazon began recommending the book to customers who purchased similar books, and one of those recommendations made its way back to Seth, who promptly blew his stack.


Hey, it's almost as easy as Xeroxing $20 bills, without those nagging counterfeiting accusations ;-)

Actually, the seller didn't violate any laws in this case. More details on my other blog.
