I`m starting a used books online business.I`m getting more enquiries for fiction books, but it is very cheap,i need to sell huge amounts to make profits.
Leather-bound editions.
This link was to the thread about the authors house. http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/t… Which was a very interesting thread because it was walking you through the process that took place, up until his house was demolished. Luckily, because of these good people, http://cgi.rumormillnews.com/cgi-bin/… it can be proven that the thread existed, because if they had not copied it, most people wouldnt know that it did. Now, on the other hand, this alone, since the rest of the thread is gone, might make one wonder if what he said about his house was made up. I mean where is the proof, anybody could say these things, and this is where it gets good. I copy and paste links to research when I run out of time and I found one of the links in my saved files. http://www.freewebs.com/paperwork/ I wish I had the others, because it had some really good information, but this one shows how he complied and got the proper permits. Then shows how they reneged on what they said after he had spent a large sum of money to comply. And it shows a picture of his car window with the date 13 on it, when it was towed, like he said, coinciding with the topic as read by clicking on the book cover in this link. http://www.amazon.com/World-Secrets-O… Now, I will tell you another strange thing, you cant buy his books in stores, believe me, I tried. The sales rank on Amazon when I bought this book was around 1,000 in ranking. So, if you are unfamiliar with this, that is the top 1000 of all books in the world sold by them. When I went to Barnes $ Noble to try and get OLD WORLD SECRETS THE OMEGA PROJECT CODES, the clerk said, (I dont know why we dont carry this book, we get more requests for it than over half the books we carry). It is one of the only books in existence that sells for more used than it does new, look it up if you think I am exaggerating. In Europe, it is selling for around 100 EURO, which is about $150 USD. On the books website, $30.00 for both, free shipping to anywhere in the world. http://www.oldworldsecretcodes.zoomsh… or http://www.newworldbible.zoomshare.com/ it is crazy. The reason why it is so high in Europe, at least what I have heard is that when the second book came out, they quit selling it through Amazon there. Which I believe could very well be true due to the fact that this is also when the threads were pulled from ATS and his house was seized and demolished. Anyways, What I am asking you to do, when watching these videos, is set aside any information you have found about Mr. Levons books, and anything you have been taught in the past. I am not a film maker, and I know this video is not of the best quality, but I also know there is nobody else trying to make these things aware to you, in the manner that they were made aware to me, by the reading of Mr. Levons books. I tried to find information to back his points, and although they seem to be based on common sense, there is little to no information out there that I was able to find and use. So I constructed this video from points made by other people, who ultimately at the end, always seem to be pointing us in the opposite direction than the author of these books pointed me. Sadly, you can put it any way you want it, but what that means to me, is that they have raised us, from birth, to have no common sense Please bare with the presentation of all of these videos until the end, because if you do, you are going to realize that there is something seriously wrong with the things we have all been led to believe. I am sorry that you are learning this from me, but you are about to see why there were two stories of Adam and Eve. One was the mixing of the bloodline of god, (blue blood) and the other was what the writers of the bible consider the mixing of the unholy blood of the African and Asian. Please understand I am not prejudice against any race or religion; please understand that they have done this to me as well. They have, and are, doing this to all of us.

I want to find a worthy cause in Portland Oregon to give used books. I want my used books to go to people who are in need. Any ideas?
Since you’d probably like to donate your used books to others who really need and could appreciate them, there are several organizations that would be happy to accept your book donations.
If you have children’s books, they can be donated to the Portland-based Children’s Book Bank which then sends these books to children around the world who need them. More information is available about this program at //portland.readinglocal.com/2009/10/23/childrens-book-bank-helps-close-the-book-gap/ and at the group’s website at http://www.childrensbookbank.org/Home.aspx.
The Oregon National Guard has a blog at http://oregonmildep.blogspot.com/2009/08/local-portland-business-owner-donates.html where you can see an article and get information about the group’s program to send comic books, etc. to deployed soldiers.
The Portland Books to Prisoners program, with its website at http://www.bookstooregonprisoners.org/, is another excellent place for used books. There are currently more than 2 million people incarcerated in state and federal prisons in the U.S., and prison libraries tend to very limited, and access to them is often highly restricted, so outside sources of donated books for these prisoners are welcomed. Books can really help those in our jails to improve their lives.
The Public Libraries in Portland often hold used book sales and the proceeds then go to funding library services in the community. If you’re interested in donating your used books to help this cause, you can click on http://www.portlandlibrary.com/aboutppl/BookDonations.htm, http://www.friends-library.org/booksale/donatebooks.html and http://www.multcolib.org/titlewave/ for more information.
There are other good suggestions about used books donations online at www.ecomii.com/local/portland/reuse-books and at other websites. These include, among others, Goodwill at http://www.meetgoodwill.org/, and Salvation Army at http://www1.usw.salvationarmy.org/usw/www_usw_cascade.nsf, which do good work for others.
If your used books are on a particular topic, you might consider donating these books to an organization or school that’s connected to this subject (such as astronomy books to a local club, etc.). Other places that would also appreciate your used books are hospitals, food pantries, school libraries, senior centers, women’s shelters, and similar places. Others can then enjoy and benefit from your donated books!
You can also sell many/most of your books to Powell’s Books or to some other used booksellers and then take the money you receive and donate it to a special cause. Many Portland booksellers are listed at the Portland Area Used Booksellers Association website at http://www.pauba.org/, and Powell’s can be reached at www.powells.com/info/contact.html.
There’s another way to recycle your used books that can be fun while it keeps your books in circulation. By going to and joining the free group, BookCrossing, at www.bookcrossing.com/, you register each book and receive a number. Then, in each book, you place its number on a sticker or label with instructions inside the front cover (these can be purchased online at http://secure.bookcrossing.com/ or made on your own computer), and you then put one or more books into a plastic bag or other protective cover or inside a location that’s well-trafficked and protected from rain, etc. (such as a college indoor eating area or a coffee shop, etc.) and "release" it/them. When someone "finds" your book and decides to keep it, they will go to the BookCrossing website and enter when and where they found the book. You’ll be notified by email and you’ll see all the places where each book has traveled! It can be quite interesting!
I love books and I always want them to have good homes where they’ll be appreciated! ;-o So, I hope this information is helpful! I wish you and your books all the best!

I know that Hastings will buy your used dvds, books, and cds, but how do you do it? Do you just go to a register or what?
I have some things that I want to sell to them, but I don’t want to just go up to an employee if there’s some kind of special desk or something you go to..
And also… Does anybody know how much they pay you for each item? Is it 20% or something?
