Selling Gold Jewelry At The Gold Buyers Show

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

I saw that there was a big show at our local armory where there would be people coming to buy and sell gold jewelry. I understand that gold is at an all time high but I do not think that I have too many pieces that I want to part with, let alone just do it to make a few bucks. On the other hand, my sister is really down on her luck and heard of the whole sell gold jewelry show and wants me to go to it with her.

I decided to go with her and check out these gold buyers that are going to be there. I did bring along just two pieces of jewelry that I am not too fond of, just to get a price. One is a very big brooch that my grandmother gave me when I was very young. Women just do not wear brooches anymore, so there is no reason to hang on to it. My grandmother always said that jewelry was meant to be worn, not sit in a box. So, if these gold buyers can offer me a decent amount of money, then I may consider selling.

My sister brought about twenty pieces of gold jewelry and was offered a four figure amount of money from the gold buyers. I made two hundred dollars on my grandmother’s brooch and was happy with that.

Need To Find A Personal Trainer From The Directory

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

I knew that at four hundred pounds, I needed to put find a personal trainer at the top of my list before anything else. I have actually lost about thirty pounds since doing some workouts at home but have hit some sort of wall and have been stuck there for the last three weeks. I called and asked one of the local gyms if they had a personal trainer directory and they told me that they did and they could either fax it or email it to me, so I chose to receive it by email.

I looked over the personal trainer directory for a few days and tried to narrow down the search to find a personal trainer off of the list. I knew that I would never be comfortable with a woman, so it cut the list practically in half by doing that. I started making some phone calls to find out how much this was going to cost me and was pleasantly surprised by many of the personal trainer’s answers.

I settled on trying out two different personal trainers that I had gotten from the personal trainer directory, just to see which of them I was most comfortable with. I was just hoping that one of them would work out.

The Waterfree Urinal Will Be In Soon

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

The waterfree urinal that we just ordered from our plumbing fixtures company is the top of the line. I wanted to be able to actually see other than what I had seen in pictures, but the plumbing fixtures company ordered two and sold both of them as soon as some of their clients saw them. I think that I would have been the next stop after them but they got them first and now I have to wait about four to six weeks for our waterfree urinal to come in.

I told all my customers about it and of course the men are all looking forward to seeing the waterfree urinal and the ladies just think that anything in a men’s restroom must be really gross no matter how new it is. I have always put time and money into making the women’s restroom really nice and have never spent any money on the men’s but that is about to change.

Four to six weeks from now and maybe a little extra time to install it and I will have the coolest restroom for men in this town, since the people who bought the floor models of the waterfree urinal are sixty miles away.

Glad To Hand Over The Three Way Link Exchange Reigns

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

I was happy to find out that I did not have to handle the three way link exchange that had been going on for about six months now. I was having a hard time keeping up with everyone else, I figured that they had more than one person writing their one way links and that was how they put them out so fast.

I guess that either the boss saw how overwhelmed I was, or one of the other people on the three way link exchange tree called and told him that we were not holding up our end of the bargain. I really do not care which is true, I am just feeling very relieved right now and know that if I am not expected to handle that and all the other duties I have, my life will be much easier.

My boss introduced me to four young gentlemen who had been hired to strictly handle the one way links and make sure that we kept up our end of the deal. I was to get them set in their new office and then show them everything that I had worked on up until that point and then let them go.

Dell Repair Has Fixed My Poweredge Servers Many Times

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

For three years now I have been using the same dell repair company and have never had any problems with them till now. I called to have them write up a work order to fix my poweredge servers like they have done many times before. This time, the woman who I talked, to must have been new or something and she asked me not to send the poweredge serves today because they were backed up with repairs.

I hung up the phone and just stood there thinking that I must have not heard her correctly and so I tried back and got a different operator. I explained that I had used their dell repair service many times before and that I once again needed my servers to be fixed and then sent back. The operator that I had on the line at the time helped me with the work order and then asked me if I had any other questions.

I proceeded to tell him all about the woman that I had spoken with earlier and how she had asked me not to send the poweredge servers today because they were backed up and had lots of other repairs. He was dumbfounded and told me that he was very sorry and would make sure to find out who did that and take care of the problem right away.

Used Point Of Sale Equipment For The Store

Monday, January 4th, 2010

The new store was going to need more than just a few things to get it up and running so I decided to look online for some used point of sale equipment. I had heard that by buying used pos equipment, you can save tons of money and still get everything you need.

I found most of the things on the list from the used point of sale equipment site that I found by searching online and got most of them at a huge discount. I did have to get a few things new but we certainly saved a lot of money on the used stuff so the few new things did not really make much a difference.

I did call and ask my partner if there was anything else that she could think of that we needed before I finalized the sale and she told me that she would like to get a few used pos equipment items just for back up, just in case we had issues with not everything working correctly on the day the store was going to open. We had advertised the grand opening all over the state and hoped that it would be really busy with people who had seen all the ads.
