9 sales this morning. Nothing much until the very end - a cache of new teacher's edition textbooks - 7 of them - worth $30 - $70 a piece on Amazon. $.50 each. One sold within one hour of posting. Nice!

1. Wow . . . great buy! This was church sale weekend for me.

I went to one last night and another today. Unfortunately, the crowd at the first one was so dense you couldn't get near anything (although I did find a Royal Crown Derby bird paperweight for $3) and the second one just sucked. Have you ever had one of those days when you search for something . . . anything . . . that will at least cover the cost of gas to get there? Maybe next weekend the Picasso will appear.

2. yeah, I've become obsessed lately with expenses vs. profit

I buy extra gas on weekends, along with extra food (for me and my little girl who is becoming quite the haggler.) So I always have this "I have to sell this much to recoup my expenses" mentality going on.

3. hey, do you know about the Little Picker stuff...

....that American Picker is doing? I haven't gone to the site they have, but I know that they have been choosing kid pickers for some kind of a promotion.
