Stopped at the bookstore...

December 4th, 2005 at 04:19 pm

and I'm so glad I did! For anyone reading the $20 challenge forum, this will be repetitive, but I'm so happy about it I have to list it here too. While wandering around this huge used bookstore by work, I came across a section of THOUSANDS of hardcover books for $1 each. So I wrote down the ISBNs for 7 shelves worth of books and checked them out on ebookdrop.com. When I looked them up, they accepted enough of the books for me to net an $11.29 profit! So when I went back to actually pick up the books they would buy, I wrote down another 7 shelves worth of ISBNs. When I checked them out at home, they'll buy enough to net me another $13.50 in profiits! So this week, when I go back to work, I'll pick up those books, and write down another 7 shelves worth, and keep going like that. When I tell you there are hundreds of shelves of these books, I can keep this up for a few months! If I can net $10+ profit each time, I'd be THRILLED!! Wahoo for me!!

It's snowing here today. Looks like just an inch or so on the ground, with more to come Monday night/Tuesday. I love the snow, especially around Christmas time...everything looks so peaceful. Hubby is leaving for a trip today through Wednesday. I'm going to make some onion soup and some potato-leek soup today to use up some stuff I have in the house. Nothing beats soup on a cold, snowy day.

This week will be a bit hectic. I'm supposed to work in the city every day, which isn't great for time or money. DS has his 5-year old checkup Monday, which includes a bunch of shots and DD has CCD on Tuesday. I'll also have to figure out what I'm doing with them Wed-Fri, because when I work in the city I usually get home later, and need to make sure they're covered after school...I've only thought through Tuesday.

So that's about it. I'm off to make my soup...

    I have access to a similar bookstore, except it isn't convenient to get to at all. It's about 10-15 miles in the wrong direction from all of my other driving. Bummer! I t will be interesting to see how much you can make from this new idea. Smile

    Interesting how the bookstore owner doesn't know this.
