OurLifeInc got it already?!

Post by **jacob** » Wed Oct 06, 2010 1:21 am

Yup. Must live close to SC. Or maybe he paid for fast shipping.

I live in Michigan and did the $6 shipping. The regular shipping said I would have it by Oct 31 and the $6 option said Oct 15, so I paid the $3 extra....didn't realize that it would actually be Oct 5!

My copy is due here tomorrow. I signed up for the 1 month amazon prime trial for free 2-day shipping when I ordered yesterday.

You forgot First to buy used: and I plan to be it!

Unfortunately I don't think you see any profit from second hand sales, is that right? But at the same time, this is what you advocate for...not quite the best stance to take as a salesman

No profit from the used books, correct.
You're right. I have just about the worst demographics in terms of making sales.

I ordered your book on 10/2 at 1:00 am PST from amazon.com (prime + overnight) and recieved it on 10/4 when I got back from "the cave".

Requested library to purchase, but probably will buy once ebay items sell.

@Q - Cool! What did you tell them? As far as I understand, they need to create a database entry in the records of Library of Congress.

Also requested library to purchase, but bought anyway.

I `filled out a quick online form with your ISBN and what the book is for etc.
It's for the San Jose Public Library, so, hopefully they order it.

I did that from my local library once and they actually got it. They knew me by name on sight, dunno if that made a difference.
