Well, I just put 10 books on half.com. We'll see how that goes. I tried it one time before I moved from TX and was disgusted by the low prices, then I sold all of those books to Half Price Books and only got $.25 each for 100 books (mostly only-read-once books). Barf. Now, I'm just giving them away on paperbackswap.com, so even $1 is better than that.

And remind me...next time I go to a bookstore...DO NOT BUY ANYTHING! Look for books you want and then buy them on half.com. I am such an idiot when it comes to that!

I put "the rules", "he's just not that into you" and "the 5 love languages". Hmm, looks like someone had romance problems sometime in the past...

Just talked to the lady at the company in Iowa that is looking for a job for me at her company. She said that now is not a good time to be changing jobs, as they have had to lay off about 300 people. She said keep my current job and when things start swinging up, or they lose a key person and need someone right away, I'm first on the list. She wants to talk to me in a few months again. But, if I get laid off at my current job, call her right away, because that is a different situation...

Still trying to get the loan for the cows. Our banker is going over everything with a fine toothed comb. I have to get him the expenses we had on the farm this year, so good thing I went through all that at the end of last year.

    Good luck with the book sales and the loan. Where in Iowa? I'm near the capitol of Des Moines. What type of job are you looking for?

    creditcardfree: This place is in Cedar Rapids, but I am looking for an IT/programming job where I can work from home most of the time, but I can travel as needed. I do Windows administration, Unix administration, have been responsible for many different applications and am just starting to program in Java, with .Net on the horizon if this new project is approved. I live in the middle of Kansas and can't move, though, which makes things challenging.

    disneysteve: I'll update the post in the forums and my side bar. Good idea to make it a "challenge", by the way!

    good luck on the job! I have had trouble with banks lending lately too. I own a new strip mall, small but still costly and they won't lend anything on it until I have tenants all in the building. It is 3/4 leased and they still won't lend. As far as half.com can't say I like them. When I tried to sell my inventory, high feed back no negatives they suspended my account and kept my cash. I am having to appeal them now. But they can still keep your money for 90 days, collect interest and then make you jump through their hoopes to get YOUR money back. Won't list with them again! New one that I heard should be launching soon (Dec 2009) called eskoob.com. Put it into your favorites. Good luck.
