Buy low, sell high. That's the way it works!

I ordered my first March snowflake yesterday: a $12.75 order at Secondspin .com. I'm a member of Swapadvd .com (sister company to Paperbackswap .com). I ordered Big Bang Season 1 on Blu-ray. When I opened the package it was brand new, wrapper still on, and I got it for free. I turned around and sold it for $8.75.

I was at the local library renting a DVD for DD. They were selling DVDs for $.25. I bought 40-Year-Old Virgin. I figured if I could sell it for more, great, if not, I like that movie and I'm only out a quarter. It sold for $1.50. I added 2 more DVDs that I already had for a total of $12.75!

Over the years, I've had snowflake success 2 ways: opening bank accounts for bonuses, and selling books/DVDs. Both have worked really well for me.

I got paid today. I need to balance the checkbook and pay some bills this weekend. We're also having friends over tomorrow, but they're bringing the corned beef and cabbage. All fun and no work (except for cleaning the house)!
