Cheapskates Buy My Book On Ebay

They could get it in the local book stores and museums, they could get it off the web site or Amazon.com but noooooooo, people looking for the deal on my book about the great historical Pennsylvania hemp industry go to ebay and bid on it. Starting bid is $8.50 cheaper than on my web site. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=300009804655

I'm really proud of my book. I am not selling millions of books but they are getting into good hands and together we are going to change the course of history. Hemp WILL be grown again in Pennsylvania and the knowledge of the historical Pennsylvania hemp industry will become generalized in the public conciousness.

This thread by the way is not meant to be an advertisement for my book. I know you cheapskates won't buy it anyway. In the future I'm going to start some threads about what it's like to be an author and the rigorous scholarly discipline it took to research and write the books and the whole experience.

Later,
Hempstone

Can't I just download it off IRC from the #bookz channel? ;)

I'm kidding, I'm kidding! Just givin' ya some shit! I'm actually very impressed with your literary powahs.

Auction ends tonight, hope I sell another one. I sold one on Amazon yesterday to someone from San Francisco. It's cool because I sell books all around the country and the world. I donate $1 for ever book I sell to the Lancaster Farmland Trust to help preserve farmland. So far the book has helped the Trust save 2 acres of farmland. GO HEMP GO!

Not many and not much. I've sold around 500 books or so and have to sell another 500 or more to make my money back. After that it's profit but no profit yet. Money was not my main inspiration. I'm really trying hard to get hemp legalized again. I decided a long time ago that even if I lose thousands of dollars it would still be worth it if I can actually make a difference. I took in about 7 or $8,000.00 or so but I have about $16,000 invested. That's why I have to work a 40/hr job to pay the bills. On my off time I promote the book.

Zero bids and 30 minutes left...there's still hope...

Man, stop calling us cheapskates. lol
