Deborah at Work Listing Books on Amazon

DK the Nautical Knitter

Hi there, this is DK’s DH (Scott) and I thought while she was fast asleep thinking up new pattern designs I would post a sort of behind the scenes photo I took of DK hard at work. She has been really looking forward to getting started on the Secret of the Stole KAL (as I am sure all of you are as well), just a few more days to go now.

So, here you go… as long as she doesn’t delete the post once she finds out it is here

Yes, this is actually her desk! That little gray square thing she is looking at is actually a laptop she uses to correspond with all of you (probably doing so right now), the one in the background is where she does her “work”. You see which one she is using. “Did you read that book I left for you the other day sweetie”? Good luck to everyone doing the Secret of the Stole KAL, it will be loads of fun, and may even have some great surprises along the way. Scott (hopefully still the DH)

We Are Officially Amazon Book Sellers Now that We Have Inventory

We have been slowly wading through the books and posting them for sale. Problem is that when you list them for sale you have to house them somewhere until they sell. Here is our temporary solution. Yes, free postal supplies come in handy for more than just shipping. We really could have used a two car garage.

At some point we will have to get an outside building or unit for the book inventory or keep the books held in inventory at this level. There just isn’t any more room anywhere but for now this will work. The bookshelves seem to be a little wobbly but we have them tied off in several areas. So I am not sure if this is what a typical amazon seller looks like, I don’t recall seeing photos of any of our fellow amazon sellers on their own blogs, but this is what this amazon seller looks like.

The sorting order was something we worked on for a while and have not come to any great conclusion as to what is best and easiest for pulling.  Right now they are all in alphabetical order by title (which isn’t easy at all with books that have multiple titles).  This may change as we move along but I hate changing the pulling order after the fact, it just takes a long time.

We Recieve a Huge Book Delivery Today for Inventory Sales

harvest1.jpg

We had 8 of these pallets of books donated to us today. Man do we have our work cut out for us now. There are boxes of books all over the house. We are so grateful for our blessings.  This is the start of a huge amount of work to catalog and index each of these books along with writing the condition for each one, cleaning them up and getting them ready to sell on Amazon.  We have been looking for a good book supplier for quite a while now and it looks like we may have just found that and right here in our own city.

We searched several distributors, wholesale sellers, even reclaims, and the post office auctions, which occur once a month in Atlanta.  The book business is a crazy business to be in right now and it is almost impossible to find books at a price low enough to sell, but when you donate your time 20-30 hours a week and find a place that sells them cheap enough right to the public, it looks like it might work for us for now.

Book Sales on Amazon are Picking Up

My third book in a week just sold off of Amazon’s marketplace. I can’t believe I am able to sell these books this way. It is great knowing that someone is going to get use out of these great quilting books that I never had the time or inclination to use. The money for these books is going into the boat fund.

Just got back from helping mom put up the Christmas tree. It came from their new property. It looked pretty sparse when she and David set it up, however after we finished decorating it it looks pretty good. Kinda reminds me of the Charlie Brown Christmas story.

Scott and I are going to meet dad tomorrow for dancing at Red River club in Dallas. It sounds like a nice place, but I would prefer to go to the Czech club on military parkway which is a non-smoking facility that has Czech music and country dancing too.
