Steals and Deals Last summer I stopped at a yard sale on a busy street at 11:00 am on a Saturday morning. As I was walking up to the yard a lady was leaving with four or five books . I asked her how much were the books. She responded 10 cents each. I saw a table with books on it and found a Mr. Wizard book in total I picked up 8 books "The Steals" . I went inside and they had some cook books for $5.00 each. Seeing no sure winners , I went out side and looked some more and bought a "something I had to have" for a quarter. Total expense $1.15 * This is important * I took the books home with a few other I had bought that day. * I researched them first on Amazon, then addall ,then ebay completed sales. The Mr. Wizzard sold on Amazon in about a month for about $12.00 A few others were listed and if I remember right one other sold for 6 or 7 dollars. the others were dealer lots or donated Now the Deal One of the books was a book about night life in New York City written about 1929 or 30. It had well worn dust jacket that covered a very nice art deco designed cover. I found none on Amazon or ebay. addall had two listed ;one without a jacket listed for sale at 300 plus dollars and one with a worn jacket for over 600 dollars. I took a quick nickle and sold it on ebay for $250.00 ebay is usually wholesale , thats ok I think it might of sold on a fixed price site for more but it might not of. Its summer stop at a yard sale if you have time and if the books are cheap buy a few and research them ,,its fun when its a steal and a deal. |
