Whats in a Title

Sunday, September 5th, 2010

Its Sunday again.. Had a really good day at Flea Market yesterday.. I also spent a lot of time figuring ways to make it easier to close down in a few weeks… I don’t have a truck so will be using two cars and going back and forth to home.  I think one thing that will help is a sale on my hard covers on the one big table… So today I will clean out the items I don’t want to sale and put them away. Or bring them home… I have been bringing home under stock and odd things. I am bringing home all tapes today so if you want music or talking books today is your last chance. There are 6 weekends till we close… Then 4 or 5 till we open again.. In that time we are closed I will be checking out more stock.. So if you are in the Lake City Area and come to my store right me a email or post a message here if you have a certain author you want when we come back.

This week I am going to be getting birthday gifts out to the grands.. Two birthdays coming up and then in three weeks from theirs three more… Then we go into November and Grandpa and Aunt Shari… Wow Then December brings Aunt Nancy and Christmas… Think I can send them all a used book … LOL…

I put a nother Leap Pad on the website.. its got three books with it… check it out www.readerwave.ecrater.com  you can also find dolls, baby cradle its an antique. stuffed animals… check it out… Shot glasses are at www.shotglassheave.ecrater.com 

Of course you can find Waiting for Agnes at  www.readerwave.ecrater.com www.ebay.com www.amazon.com 

Have a great Sunday see you next time.

Good Morning Happy Thursday.  Not much going on around here..Looked out side and Hubby was carring a shovel asked him what he was doing and he was planting to plants he had recently put into pots… I guess they are growing to fast for him..

Yesterday I worked on my website at www.readerwave.ecrater.com  I was going to wait and put all the things I have to list on a new store front but could not wait to get started so went ahead.. And it was not a bad idea had lots of hit where things were being looked at.. I took pictures yesterday and started listing and some of the LeapPad machines I already had pictures from before so that was easy.. And later if I want to put books in that I have lots of its easy enough as I kept all the pictures in folders by author so I can just go find them .. I will be putting an antique cradle in some time today. Its in great shape If I was keeping it I would take it down to the wood and stain it again… But I am not so Hubby does not have that to do.  Someone at the Flea Market told me about the junk drawer on eBay so I think I will try something like that on my store. I am looking forward to being so busy that I can’t move from this computer till Fridays -Sundays when I have to do things at or for the store at the Flea Market.. As I may have mentioned I am bringing boxes of books home that are under stock as I bring them home I am going to go through and organize… and code the box so I will know when I take them back in November and it will be easy to put them away.  I am going to change some things around and make more room for romance for instance .. I have boxes of authors that are not out and should be. Books that I have gotten in and are not selling much I will move to here. Someone asked me for Chicken Soup and that person has not been back. Another asked me for Large print I have a few now.. Another asked me for Condensed books.. I have some and that person has not been back. I think I am going to the library today and to the discount store(like Goodwill) and check out what they have.  I may even go to the office to get paperwork to volunteer at the book section a few hours one day a week…  I will be going to meet my new doctor today.. I finally found one here in LC who take my insurance.. I am so happy for that. Everyone have a great day and do something nice for someone else

Want to thank all my FB friends for checking out my blog and stores.. You are most kind.. But while doing so pass info on to friends and make a comment so it goes to your other FB friends…  The same goes to my twitter friends pass me on please

Goodbye Amazon and eBay

Friday, September 25th, 2009

Due to rising cost and changing polices.. Amazon and eBay have seen the last of my books.. I sell well on both. But I have to pay such high fees that I can’t price my books at the cost I want to give my customers.  I have been selling one book on both sites and its not worth it anymore.. Amazon has a new policy that I have to send the book or item to the customer before they pay me.  Then if there is a problem I have to fight to get my money.. I dropped them the minute I read that.. Also they charge $5.99 for selling so I have to price things way up to get my money and authors money out of it..  eBay is raising and raising there prices… I am just a simple store who does a few products a week… I am not one of there high end sellers… I do this to please the customer and myself.  If I had to make a living at it. Never happen.. I sell to low…

My dream is to have my own bookstore someday… I have seen what I want to do from several others I know of. It can be done.. I just need capital and a good head start… So its my dream… and a good one.

Any ways I am on eCRATER.  The price and location is just right for me and my book store. I also have a shot glass store…. www.readerwave.ecrater.com      www.shotglassheaven.ecrater.com

One Week

Sunday, September 13th, 2009

Woke up laying in bed thinking oh I should of got up sooner and gone to the Flee Market. I did a good job yesterday.. I guess you should not second guess yourself… I got up and walked out to the kitchen and looked outside it was raining…. No wonder my back is giving me a problem… Or maybe it was the boxes I lifted yesterday… I was lucky to find someone to scoot the books all the way back in the car for me…   In the morning when I got to the Flee Market the tables were fixed crazy like someone had two booths the week before.. the tables are heavy to move so a man was there shopping and he helped me… Then I got him to back my car in the spot for me… That was so nice… I know that people who sell there will do it but they weren’t there yet.. so it was nice to find someone to help….Every box needs a fill up.. That means I sold something out of these boxes…Everything is still in the car so when I get the boxes out to store them I will fill them so they are ready for next week…

If you are looking for a certain book and wanted it held for you I will but you must buy what is held.. You can tell me you want something and if I have it will bring but if you are not sure if you want to buy will put in box’s and you take your chances….

Remember we are taking trade ins now… Nothing older than the 90′s  All the western we can get… all in good sellable shape.  When you buy a book it cost $1.00  or $.50 and a book… 

If I can make a go of this from week to week I will rent more space and bring more books … Sense I can lift so many this would give a young person a part time job..as my helper so its a win wins all the way around.

Now don’t for get I still have books at three locations online  www.readerwave.ecrater.com www.readerwave.com www.ebay.com www.amazon.com   This is three places and four addresses   www.readerwave.com  brings you too my store,eBay, blog, and my shot glass store.

Its so nice to get out with the people again… Hope to see you this coming week tell your friends…

Do You Know

Sunday, September 6th, 2009

Do you know how hard it is to open email or your blog to find no one had wrote you…. It gets harder and harder every day.  And I know some of its me.. I don’t like getting all those stories and jokes… I want someone to just say hello… I am just as guilty as the next person… I don’t send hardly and of the junk.  But I don’t send many notes either..  I have naglected my blog something terrible lately… I have had nothing worth writing about.. People do not want to hear of your problems.. They want to hear happiness..  I had some happiness yesterday I had two customers for my book store… Thanks to them… And four lookers from three different countries… Thanks to them…

Thanks to my husband for feeling well enough to go out with me yesterday… He is having surgery this month or next.. I hope its this month, so we can get it over with… He is such a good man that he deserves to be in a better place with his health.

I would love to be able to travel even over night and not worry about my mother… She lives with us and is going blind… And she has a new pacemaker.  I would love for her to be able to take care of herself and not worry about her.. but i can’t … So even if  we could we don’t go anywhere… She still does her own laundry.. makes her bed.. takes care of her med’s.. I guess what I fear is her falling.. and no one here to get her up… She does not use the microwave anymore as its hard for her to see.. so she eats cold meals… if we are not here.. That is not good… So we try to be gone only at lunch time…. and make sure she has left overs or sandwich fixings.  The holidays are coming and would love to go to visit children.. but that would be a few days sense some of them are in SF and we are in NF.  She was telling me yesterday that she is feeling very good lately… That’s good… So I am stuck… I want to place her but what do  I tell her… What do I do to make her feel that she is not being places because she is not love… We just want our freedom… Something she gave away most of her life…. I am not her … I do not want to feel I have to because she is my mother… I have done that for 8 yrs… I have given her a good home and then when we moved here she came with us into our home… But she was well enough we could go off and leave her… Now my husband is getting older and I want to chance to do things on the spur of the moment to get up and call over to where Mom is and say we are going today will call when we get home…   Am I being such a terrible person… We might not go much of anywhere… My husband has sent 20 yrs in service and has been so many places..Well I would like to see those places I never have…. Now his health is declining.. and he does not want to go more than a day away… wants to sleep in his own bed…  I think if we could get a mobile home and put a mattress in it like we have at home he would be somewhat happy… I would love to go from camp ground to camp ground across the United States… from here to Alaska… that way we could travel when we wanted and stop when we want… eat what we want … stay as long as we want in some places and not in others…I would love for our friends to go with us.. But its hard going with others as they might want to stop and start as many times as we do… Well anyways this is all a pipe dream… We will never get to do this.  Because of Mother and Husband.. I will go to my daughters this coming year.. I will fly by myself and go for a week or two… Leave the two of them here to take care of themselves…I have to or I will go crazy…

This little blog has taken on a life of its own…. I will be at the flee market this weekend…. come see me  mention getting free Harlequin after a purchase of $4.oo  That’s 6 books….

Come visit my online store ,you can find books new and used, audio books, large print books, Cd’s, movies, shot glasses   just take a look….www.readerwave.ecrater.com   www.shotglassheaven.ecrater.com   Then I have Waiting for Agnes  a new autographed book at ecrter as well as www.ebay.com and www.amazon.com  three places three different prices as each place charges different … ecrater is the least amount of money…

Have a great rest of the holdiay weekend..
