Step 14 LIVE !!!

OK, so I have finally gotten my CD all finished and ready to ship out worldwide.

The CD contains 24 books from LM Montgomery, you know, the author responsible for Anne of Green Gables, Anne of Avonlea, Jane of Lantern Hill ect...

I have taken a lot of care to make this collection something I would be happy to purchase.
So don't just sit there.... CLICK HERE TO SEE IT !!!!

And the best thing is, if you click on that link and decide to sign up to that auction site (free of course !!) you'll have a chance at winning a Nintendo Wii gaming console and Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess !

Pretty cool, huh ?!

Oh, you could also visit my new website where this cd will also be for sale; http://e-libris.co.nz

I sold the Diesel pants for $30, but as the rules state, I am spending the amount in excess of $40 elsewhere.

I have almost gotten my new offer ready. I will be selling professionally compiled CD's of certain collections of Public domain works !
My first compilation is The Omnibus of LM Montgomery.
Each of her books (remember Anne of Green Gables* ect...?) is re-formatted to PDF format. Every chapter of all the books is bookmarked for simple navigation, and I have also compiled a collection of quick facts, a biography and pictures - something no other CD has on it !

I've also just contacted Adobe for permission to include at least 2 formats of Acrobat Reader on each CD (PC & MAC).

I will need to sell 8 of these to reach my target. I will list them at $6.99 USD & $2USD worldwide postage. I'll add pics too.
Each CD has been quality checked, has a printed face and a jewel case with insert. These will be mailed in hard cardboard CD mailers.

Phew !

Step 13 ; $20-$40 Reached !!!

OK, the CD writer didn't sell at $35 NZD, but I offered it for $25 after the auction finished and the offer was accepted :D

That means after fees and postage I have $41.75.

So I have plans for $30 of that. And with some help from the wonderful concept of Public Domain, I wil hopefully double that within a few weeks.

Other Doublers !!

Recently I've become aware of quite a few other "Doublers" and have added them to my links to the left.
It's amazing to see peoples different takes on making money ...
A couple have gotten to step 13 (give or take..) with collecting bottles & cans ! I think the closest type of place to New Zealand that does this is actually South Australia (and that's not close !!).

So far I have been selling things that have been found or bought cheaply.
This approach can get you fairly far if you are a good judge of what sells. The other problem is living in a place with access to bargains !
Unfortunately I live 75kms from the nearest town so it really is quite difficult and expensive to go in just to look for items to sell.

I've been reading "The Science of Getting Rich"
And I've been realising I really need to create a value. I think I've got an idea on how to do this so watch this space !!!

So, you're wondering what I've found to advance ?
Well, I got a very rare pair of Mod Jeans. They are Diesel and still have their tags. The price on them is 110 pounds (around $320 NZD !!) and free with my $10 purchase was this CD writer. I tested it thouroughly. It has software for both PCs and Mac and most importantly it runs natively through OSX (!!!).

So I've listed it including postage for $35 and I'll list the Mod. Pants soon.

I also have some great ideas for the next step !

Next stop...Step 13 !!

Wow, Fast !!

About 4 hours after listing the books, they have sold ! After fees and postage I now have $26.30.

So the next step is $20-$40.
I think there is a church sale on Sat morning here, so I'll see what I can do....

Step 12 : $10-$20


Payment for the items has come in, and with some of it, I managed to get a book the same as one I was given by my sister (a great book...!).
So I am offering this book called "Your Investment Property- How to choose it, Pay for it & triple your returns in 3 years (by someone who did it in 2)" by Anita Bell. The New Zealand Edition.

And I'm coupling it with one of my favourite authors' books, Robert Kiyosakis' The Cashflow Quadrant. One of the books all humans should read before leaving school !!

The Auction is HERE
This time I am aiming for the total amount of the step as that leaves the money from the previous step to pay the fees and postage. On my last one, I noticed that making up the half of the money for the step, actually cuts it too close. So from now on, I will try to aim for the full amount.
As the rules state, i'm spending the leftover elsewhere :D

Step 11 Completed $5-$10

Well, step 11 is now complete !
I sold the SSC items that mum found for $5 bringing me after fees to $10.
So what about Step 12 ??

I found another copy of a book that I was given as a present, and so I'll see how that goes...
But it's also Wednesday here, so I'll pop down to the second hand shop and see if there is anything I can resell there !

Step 10 Completed ! $5

That little elephant that we collected on a walk just sold for $5, so even minus fees I'm ahead :)
I can see why the early steps are so important now.

The joy of finding something is intense, but when you turn nothing into something, well, it's even better !
The waiting for the step to be completed also teaches patience, which I'm sure will come in handy when the steps are far larger.

So what of the next step ?
Step 11 - Turn $5 into $10

A long while ago, my Mum found a little figure and a hat that both came from the Strawberry Shortcake line.
Now, I don't really collect SSC items (except for really cute minis if I see one...). So I thought for the next step I would sell these 2 things as technically, they were also found.
