My Office Supplies Store Is Booming

Posted by Renea on March 22nd, 2010

My office supplies store that I have owned for twenty years is booming. I am not sure why we are starting to do more business than we ever have, but it is really nice. I thought that maybe one of the other office supplies store in town must have closed, but that is not the case. In fact, I think that I heard that they are also doing very well.

The last eighteen months have been almost brutal for my store but maybe since the economy is supposed to be turning around, people are deciding to spend money again. If they had been trying to save money on office supply stuff before, they are certainly not worried about it now.

I had to call and have an extra truck make deliveries to us last week, to keep up with the demand. It feels so good to have people coming in and out of your store at all hours of the day. It feels like when I first opened the store and I sold my first office supply item, it was a rush.

Hoping that the economy is really in an uphill climb and that business stays this way. Even if it cut off to half of what it has been the last few weeks, it would be fine with me.

Selling Old Silver Dollar Pieces To An Online Business

Posted by Renea on March 1st, 2010

I am trying to find the best online company to sell old silver dollar pieces to. I have held onto about ten rare silver dollars, for many years and thought that they would be worth thousands of dollars by now, but that is not the case. I am just looking to scrap them out and cut my losses for now. I read somewhere that people are selling silver and gold to jewelry stores and online businesses right now at an all time record high because of the prices of the precious metals.

If I sell old silver dollar pieces that I have had forever and make at least a couple of hundred dollars, then I will be very happy. I know that a buddy of mine just helped his mother with selling silver watches that she has had for a while and she got over three hundred dollars for them. I know that only two of them were completely made of silver and the other two, just the faces were.

My friend’s mother went to a jewelry store, but I think that the online sources are a bit easier; because you do not have to feel weird about telling them yes or no when they make you an offer right to your face.
