Have you seen my recommendations?

July 8, 2012 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

Reading can get you and your resale business places!I’m often asked which books will be most helpful to resale entrepreneurs. So I gathered some into an Amazon list. It’s called “Open a Consignment, Resale, or Thrift Shop“ but of course, these suggestions aren’t just for newbies. Experienced consignment shop owners, buy-outright resalers and even managers of nonprofit thrift stores can always expand their knowledge, gain new insight, even find better ways to do things.

Take a look.

I hope you’ll forgive me for putting the Manual and the murder mystery I wrote first on the list.

What books would you add to this list? We’d all love to hear. Use the comments below to add your personal favorites, the books that have helped you expand and polish your shop.

    Kate,
    Checked out the gal who painted the hopscotch board on her parking lot yesterday here on TGTBT and copied her this morning with a chalk one on the sidewalk leading right up to the door…all the kids are hopscotching right in the door! 🙂
    We line up our outdoor toys and strollers on the sidewalk (have a nice awning overhead…so I wrote on the sidewalk in front of the strollers…Take me for a walk!…and in front of the riding toys…Great fun for toddlers!
    How Fun!
    Thanks, Kate!
