library used book sales

so these are quite popular in some of the county's neighborhood libraries, and one I went to last week had a long line waiting before the doors opened.

But half the people in there had these little devices in their hands and they are on some kind of a mission, scanning books, even if you are holding it. I about punched a guy who tried to grab one that I was holding. So what is this all about and who are these scumbags? Anyone know?

They are saps who know nothing about books. The scanning can potentially reveal a sample price for said book on the 'internet.' Unfortunately, they are wasting their time.

I see the same people at every sale so they must think it works. Some are quite pushy. I assume they must be re-sellers for whom this is their business.

do county libraries get to keep all the money they get from a used book sale or do they have to send part of it back to the county to be placed in the general fund?
