Selling on Amazon

Well today I looked into selling some old tapes and CDs on Amazon. It seems like a pretty simple way to unload some stuff that I never listen to and make some money in the meantime. Some of the things I have include The Age of the Great Goddess and by a woman named Marija Gimbutas and Spiritual Power; Spiritual Practice by Carolyn Myss. I have no idea where I got the first one (so I hope I'm not selling something that I borrowed; oy, that would be pretty bad). The other set of tapes I'm glad to unload. I used to be really into Carolyn Myss, but not anymore, so someone will get a good deal there.

If I can't figure out the Amazon selling thing my BFF Laurie said she'd help, since she's done this before. Meanwhile I'm waiting for a friend to come over so we can break bread and do Shabbat. Should be a nice quiet evening. I'm going to be relishing these next few weeks as I start work at Swedish on the 8th after a trip to Prescott, AZ. A change of scenery will be nice.

Helping Mom Buy Books on the Net

So my parents refuse to get a computer. OK...so they're in their 70s....but what kind of excuse is that? Plenty of older people have computers. So here I am with phone in hand....trying to do advanced searches for the 3 grandkids who live in New Jersey to find just the right books for each of them on Amazon...Ben, Tyler, Lara ..it's enough to drive one bonkers....

Now to be fair to my mother she did her homework and found some books by reading the newspaper that looked good....but then there was Ben...he only likes Star Wars..do you know how many books there are on Star Wars for 4-8 year olds?....about 25....so how does one choose?

Then being my parents they want free shipping...well, of course because it's the holidays you have to pay extra to get the dang books there on time.

I decided in the end..that today was not the day for doing this..."can it wait until tomorrow, mom"? Yes, but I'm getting my stress test tomorrow so not in the morning...."Fine", I say..whenever...

I shouldn't complain..I have parents that love me and it's a sunny day in the Northwest.
