Hi Steve,
don’t know if you remember me but thanks again for the book, I’m glad to report that after the initial mix-up I finally purchased it, read it, loved it and currently have about 40 items up on Amazon just patiently waiting to be bought.

I really like the newsletter, in particular I like the very simple clean page style, it made me actually want to read it without feeling like I was walking through a car sales lot!

I thought the image at the top was an old Egyptian sundial, I have NEVER seen a TV dial like that before (what did they dial the TV with?).

I’m looking forward to your Wordpress website findings, especially as I am in the process of setting up a WP blog myself, so I am really excited.

Newsletter was a nice change from the usual fancy multi graphic ones that I get too often.
As an eBay Powerseller of CDs I have found Amazon to be a lifesaver. eBay is not a good place to sell music these days.
Coming from the UK I had no idea what the graphic was as in the 50s in the UK we initially had ONE channel TV only. Even in the 60s I think we only had THREE channels to choose from.
What on earth did we do back then to fill in the time?
AND
With all that TV and radio available now, how on earth do we have time to spend on anything else on the internet?
Still a nice reminder (now that I know what it is) of gentler times -thanks

@Jane – I’ll send the download to you directly. Sorry you had trouble.

@Charles – you nailed it. A channel selector.

Your graphic looks to me like an old time TV tuner. Am I right?

Steve,

Loved the “River” book – It took me maybe 10 minutes to get set up on Amazon and list a few items. Now, I’m just waiting to see what happens. I also received the 25 tips on Amazon – Thanks!! I was not able to get the other “freebie” about using your cellphone to do research to download. What now??

I think the newsletter is GREAT. Keep up the good work. I think I, a new eBay seller can also learn from you about how to use Amazon too.

After believing that the image at top of the newsletter might be a combo lock for a locker; I realized it WAS an old TV tuner! LOL

When our cathode-ray tvs started getting old, we had to whack them so they would work.

Thanks for the great new newsletter; I have already
subscribed to it.

I believe that it’s the channel selectot for the old-style, rabbit-ear needing, TV sets. I reognize it bt the UHF option as a channel.

Congrats on getting this started, as I am starting my venture now, too. So if anyone visits the site, don’t fret- it’s as they say, “under construction”.

Steve,

Great job on Selling on the River. I set up my account easily and now I’m working toward the next level. Definitely feeling the need to diversify.

Thanks!
