MoreHi Everyone,
For those of you who haven’t purchased the teleseminars that I did with Sheila Anderson Mochrie about Selling Books on eBay & Amazon.com check out the snippet with a little sample.
If you want to hear the rest grab Teleseminar 1 & Teleseminar 2 here!
Check out this great email I got from Sharon:
Hi Lynn,
After listening to the second teleseminar with Sheila, I went out garage sale-ing last Friday in the remote foothills of Skagit County, just south of your old stomping grounds. Well…. I purchased over 400 books and records for $12.00 and 160 linens and doilies for $35. There was no time to go through all the books as I was early and other people were coming as I looked at them. Made her an offer of $12 for all of them and she took it!
They told me to bring my truck around… Problem is I have a small Lexus IS 250. They didn’t think I could do it……
Ok, 400 books plus 2 boxes of linens into a small Lexus ……. hmmmmmmm. Let me tell you I crammed books everywhere and had to seat belt the records in the passenger’s seat to keep the seat belt dinger from going off. The car smelled like an old library.
Out of the 400, I listed 140 on Amazon in 2 days and have sold 4 within 1 day. The rest of the books are going into batches on eBay or going to a charity store. The linens were sold for $175 to my mother as she has an antique shop in Wisconsin. She will more than triple her money.
Just had to tell you my exciting treasure hunting story.
Regards,
Sharon
Look at her car!
Now that’s an impressive haul! I can’t believe you made off with all of those books for $12. I just can’t believe it. Sharon please keep us updated on how your sales for these books do, I know we’d all love to hear how it’s going! So if anyone else has a great story (with excellent pictures) please send it in or post it directly to my Facebook Notes section so we can all enjoy!
