On the catalog, it says I should have been able to order an additional book for 50% off, but I don’t see this same offer when ordering online. My choices for books were based on competition on Amazon, Amazon.com Sales Rank, and sales price for used books. Hopefully, when these come, I will list them and quickly recoup the money spent, plus some profit. Gift box studio might have been a mistake as it’s two items to be sold separately on Amazon for $10 each. The craft club sold them as one item for $1. Amazon sales rank is very high for that item. Will have to see how it works out.
There was another book I wanted to get: “Knit Tricks”; so I took advantage of their sale:
| Special Edition | $10.99 | |||||
| Subtotal | $10.99 | |||||
| Gift Wrap: | ||||||
| Shipping & Handling | $3.99 | |||||
| Sales Tax | $0.00 | |||||
| Order Total | $14.98 | |||||
This book sells on Amazon for low price of $14.94 with a sales rank of 37,408 (which is relatively low). I want the patterns in the book and then will list it for sale as used.
I think this purchase satisfies my membership requirement; so will not worry further about more purchases, but will look for bargains along the way.
The Craft Club disappointed me by not having two high value Martha Stewart books in stock. Those had very good sales rank and would have fetched a nice profit on resale. Maybe someone else is running this same money making plan and I needed to take action sooner, rather than leave this catalog collecting dust in my junk pile for months.
