When moving house in mid-2020 my wife and I had a mass clear out of all the junk we had acquired over the years. To our surprise it was very easy to sell online. The best items were books: easy to post, not fragile and retaining value. After the move, sensing there was a boom in reading during lockdowns, I expanded the operation. I bought overstocked books from wholesalers and sold them online. As with all enterprise these days it turned into a data analysis project. For more details please see the links below.
