Thrift Store Shopping: Major Score

February 22nd, 2008 by Connie | Filed under Very Silly Indeed, real estate.

Look what I found today in a dumpy little resale shop in downtown Hicksville–

Doesn’t look very exciting does it?

But wait, there’s more!

 

Good thing I turned it over…

Lookie~! The holy grail of REI~~ The Epistle of Nickerson!

Coveted by investors nationwide,

Beloved tome’ of inspirational treasure,

Best seller on ebay, regardless of condition…

But wait, there’s more!!

BWAHAHAHA

Life is good :)

    Yes, I am aware of that book.
    You got a steal!!!
    I will give you $2 for it. You’d double your money : )

    Now how could I pass up an offer like that??

    (I *love* bargains :) )

    Looks like another stream of income developing - selling on EBay! If you sell it for $4.00 plus shipping, you will have an outstanding rate of return!

    One the surface it seems like a good purchase. One dollar for the most sought after tome in the Real Estate Investing world.

    But wait! Upon closer examine of the photo, I notice that the title of the book is actually “How I Turned $1,000 into $1,000,000 in Real Estate - in My Spare Tire.” Yes, “Tire”! An obvious forgery. The similarities to the “real” book are eerie.

    However, all is not lost. Being the generous soul that I am, I will put everything right and take that unfortunate purchase off your hands for the tidy sum of $8.00. Yes, double what Another Investor insightfully valued it at!!

    Don’t thank me. The knowledge that I have struck a blow for journalistic integrity is all the thanks I need.

    You guys just keep on talking… I’m headed back to gaze upon My Precious from its place of honor upon the newly refinished tables of Howard~

    ROFLOL :D

    Wait until JoJo and the poodle decide it’s a chew toy…. At least this book isn’t hidden under the couch…

    Anyone willing to up the bid to $16?
