Now that my cassette selling business is officially out of business.... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Janice Johnson · 08-31-2004, 07:11 PM

What do you think about me selling books? Like Eric Jerome Dickey and Omar Tyree? African American books? I know a lot of people who are interested in reading African-American books, and they will not have that excuse, "I don't have a tape player,(The reason my tape selling went out of business), and I can get money out of it. I only made about 25 dollars after trying to sell lots of cassettes. Now I am stuck with about 22 tapes. The reason I have so many tapes is because I get them cheap at thrift stores, and then jack up the prices to 5.00 and I have to BEG people to buy it from me. People were begiining to wonder about me and I ended up looking desperate. I decided to stop buying casettes purely for profit and go into books, chaep from Thrift Stores and jack up the prices, because lots of people read books. Lots of people don't listen to cassettes. I can't even find a store that will buy my tapes. So I am hoping to make some money with the books. I have a book called Uncle Tom's Cabin. How much money do you think I will get for that? Do you think anyone will want to buy it from me?

That's kind of why you got them so cheap at the thrift stores.

You should try buying and selling sci-fi books. Many people read those.

Why, because there's no Clay Aiken on the radio?

Ummmm actually there is Clay Aiken on the radio, but that's beside the point...

The music on the radio is way overplayed and it's nothing I listen to anyway, so I might as well listen to what I want to.

Damn straight. Too many commercials, crappy songs played every five minutes, annoying DJs who don't know how to shut the **** up...

and Nelly Furtado. I hate Nelly Furtado and her songs make me want to retch. And yet there they always are.
