Rotary Phone For Sale On eBay

Monday, March 8th, 2010

Saturday, my son and myself went to an estate auction and I found five rotary phones and won them at auction for $2 a piece. I put one on eBay this week and it is already at $9.99 which is what I paid for all 5. Now if I could do that for all five then that would allow me to turn $10 into $50. No bad for a Saturday morning out with my son.

I also have about 7 other items for sale. All of this money will go to reduce my debt. I so want to be out of debt it isn’t funny. That tax refund was a much needed boost towards that goal.

Selling On eBay Today

If you look over to the right sidebar you will see several items that I am selling. Everything from Prevention Magazine issues, Engraving machine and old Rotary Dial Telephone.

I am curious to see if I can at least sell a few items. Shipping seems to be the part that I hate most. I saw an EGX-20 engraver just like mine sell for $1750 in Feb. If I can sell it for that then I would be extremely pleased and would help pay off my debt much faster.

Target Market For My Book

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

The book that I am currently working on will be more of a reference book more than anything. My goal is to get a copy in every High School, Middle School and library in the US.

I’ve read different facts and figures from 5500 high schools up to 15,500. My goal is to get about $1.50-$2.00 profit per book and sell to 45,000 people, or organizations. I would love to be able to use the proceeds of this book to pay off my $92,000 remaining home loan.
