Someone is crazier than me! - 04-13-2011, 07:02 PM


Okay, you guys know by now that I'm a little nuts. I tend to try stuff that's kinda out there, always trying new stuff and different ways to sell. I usually have some outlandish package or product that is over the top.

Well, check it out! I found someone crazier than me! Some nut is selling a used copy of my book for $1462.32! At first I was thinking what the hell? Now Im wondering, why didnt I think of that?

You can always get more for a book with last semester's notes....

For the longest time there was an (ahem) on Ebay selling an old used Fuji S1 Pro, buy it now, for the same price as the S3 Pro when they first came out.

Caveat emptor.

Thank you, that is all.

Perhaps for that price, Holly could fly to the buyer's town and read the thing aloud. A live audio book concept.

I've seen 1st revision books in good condition pull decent money before, but aren't they all 1st rev. at this point. Maybe he's just getting his foot in the door early.

Come on and admit it Holly, that's your husband putting it up for sale.

I'm the crazy one in the relationship! There are no early editions. I have no idea what it is. I wanna know!
