Books + Recession = Cash for me

Okay, I admit it ... I have too many books.  I also have not enough money (a problem afflicting all too many of us these days).  Put these two difficulties together and the solution is simple: sell some books.  Easier said than done, you may say, but through the wonder of the Internet I have, with very little effort, just sold about $20 worth of books online.  

Abebooks and Powell's Books with both buy books from you online and pay the shipping.  Abe pays by check or PayPal; Powell's gives you credit or pays (slightly less) via PayPal.  Just type in the ISBNs of your books, see what they will offer, print out the shipping label, pack up the box and send it on its way.  Nice and easy, and no waiting in line at the post office to have your package weighed.  

Now I just have to find some more boxes so I can do this again ....

Love to Laugh


In honor of Valentine's Day, here is a link to Cap'n Wacky's Gallery of Unfortunate Valentine's Cards.  Laugh, but remember to breathe.  And don't look at this site with other people around, unless you want to explain why you are giggling like crazy over a picture of an old Valentine.

If, for any reason, you don't find this website absolutely hilarious, I am very, very sorry for you.  You must be missing the wacky humor gene and your world must be very, very dull.  Or else I'm just crazy, in which case, if you DO find the site hilarious, welcome to the nut house!
