People need sleep, ya know?

Posted by bitchwithbooks on November 12, 2008

A book order via Abebooks/Paypal came in at 6 AM. . .
Buyer then sends e-mails at 6:30 and 6:45 requesting invoices. . .

Well hello?  Some people sleep until 9 or so and don’t even open up shop until 10 AM.

Yes, sales still are in the pooper

Posted by bitchwithbooks on November 2, 2008

I havent  been around  because of a vacation, and an unhealthy obsession with anything to do with this election.

Rest assured, sales still suck.  Yes, I am selling stuff and doing better than others, but, in the past 2 months my sales have dropped about 40%.  Every trick I know to make sales happen, has probably only had the affect of limiting the drop in sales, instead of bringing me up to the norm of the past 7 or 8 years.

Not to mention the absolute lowballing going on.  $20 books with sellers droping to $5 almost over night–and no, I’m not going to spend $9 to make $8.

Ok, well here is hoping for the best on Tuesday, everyone go out and vote, and be prepared to stand in line and prove your ID if you have to.
