One of the things I love the most about eBay is the surprises. I was at a odd little book sale in the middle of no-where. I only knew about the sale because a book seller told me about it. You should know I am NOT a book seller. I don’t have anything against book sellers, I’m just not good at finding books, and book sellers always seem to get the good stuff before I do.
I went to this little book sale to maybe get a few books for the kids and I might..just might find some homeschool books. I arrived there on the last day of the sale, at 45 minutes before they were closing. NO one was there. I found a few good books for the kids and a couple of books I thought might sell on Amazon. I came across this book titled: Columbia University The Study of Certain Small High Schools

The book caught my eye because it looked old, and it didn’t belong in the self help section it was sitting in. I opened the hardback, and thumbed through it wondering what kind of book it really was. I noticed it was signed by the author.

I snatched it right up for 1.00. I put it on eBay for 9.99 and it sold for 225.00!
