Want to make money selling books while getting your own copies at a big discount?  Then consider becoming a Bizarro Bookseller.  You can buy as little or as many copies as you want and make some extra cash. You'll probably end up making more money per book than the authors and publishers of these books.  There are a lot of people out there that don't shop online, and most bookstores carry the same old crap, so you can be the perfect alternative for some people.  You don't get points for selling books, but money should be adequate compensation. For a list of the books and discounted prices check out the  Eraserhead Press Catalogue with APA discounts

FRIENDS AND FAMILY
Even if you don't want to put effort into selling books, you can still be a seller.  You can cut a profit selling books just to your friends and family.  Even if you only sell a handful of books you'd still be a huge help for us and you'd make some money in the process.  Plus you can probably get them to give you money before you order copies, which means quick money and a $0.00 investment for you.   

STUDENT SELLERS
Whether you're in high school or college, a school campus is an excellent way to sell books.  In high school, ask people at lunch, between classes, before or after school.  Some schools might have a problem with this, but you'll probably blend in with the Christian kids selling cream soda lollipops.  If you're in college, you'll really kick some butt with sales.  Not only do they don't hassle you for selling stuff on campus, you've got a ton of people you can sell to.  If you live on campus, it'll be easy to sell to the people in your dorm.  Especially when they're drunk.  You can put ads on your door mentioning that you sell Bizarro books.  Pictures of Baby jesus butt plug, satan burger, and razor wire pubic would probably be enough to create interest.  Sometimes the campus will allow you to set up a table and sell books.  Not sure about how to make this happen, but if I were you I would lay out a blanket or table and place all the books out and sell them.  If security asks you what the heck you're doing, just ask them how you can get permission to sell on campus.  You see people selling crap all the time, so there must be some way they do it.  In any case, just asking people you run into is always one way.  College parties are good too.  Show someone Baby Jesus Butt Plug when drunk people and you're bound to sell a bunch,

ONLINE SELLING
If you have a website you can try creating a section selling books.  You can accept payments through paypal.com or checks through the mail and send them the books.  It's hard because you'll be competing with amazon.com, but if you have a regular audience for your site you'll likely make some sales.  Another way is to sell books through ebay.com but I don't recommend ebay unless you already sell stuff through them.  Otherwise you'll end up losing money placing ebay auctions and sell no books.

CONVENTIONS, FAIRS, SHOWS
If you have a table where you can sell stuff, why not sell some Bizarro books as well?  If you attend conventions of any kind you can get a table pretty cheap or for free and sell our books.  Look online or in newspapers and you'll probably find all kinds of conventions and fairs in your area.  Anywhere you see people at a table selling stuff, you can also be at a table selling your own stuff.  This includes art fairs, book fairs, street fairs, the list goes on.  Many conventions can be expensive, but if you already go to them and (especially) if you sell your own stuff at tables, why not add some Bizarro books for some extra sales?  If you have a band, you can sell books at your merch tables at shows. All venues you'll ever play give you a free table to sell stuff.  Even if you don't have stuff of your own to sell, you can use it as an easy way to sell some books. 

NOTES
The books are sent UPS Ground.  The more books per order the cheaper shipping will be per book.  10-20 books is recommended. If you get 10 books shipping should be about $1 per book.  15 books would be about $0.75 per book. And so on.  If you sell the books at cover price, you'll probably make about $5 per book.  The author and publisher only make about $1 per book each, so there's a chance you'll make more than the person who wrote the book. You can also sell them for any amount you want, more or less, but that's up to you. 

IN CLOSING
There are dozens of ways you can make money selling Bizarro books.  On corners, at punk shows, whatever you think would work.  You are an official Avant Punk Representative, don't be shy.  You have our permission to sell our books wherever you want.
