(Part 3) Top products from r/shutupandtakemymoney

Hi u/ting4ling,

Kara here, OP's wife, (As I said to another redditor, I'm basically the PR person for our biz as my husband tbh isn't the best typist or as patient with giving thoughtful replies).

First off, glad you think they're cool and glad you love books. The awesome thing is that we never ever ever ever would cut a limited edition or rare irreplaceable edition, (couldn't afford one anyway).

As you know, e-books abound! We buy real, paper books which makes the publisher print a new book to replace it to sell to a reader. It would be a tragedy if print went out. It's sad to see bookstores closing. I've provided here a handy-dandy list of ways to get access to J.K. Rowling's awesome work, and it would be mostly the same access for most of the books we cut for our business:

• Kindle $0 with KindleUnlimited or $8.99 to buy
  
• Hardcover Starting at under $4.00 used or under $12.00 new
  
• Paperback Starting at $0.01 used or under $7.00 new
  
• Audible Free with Audible trial
  
• Mass Market Paperback Starting at $0.01 used and under $5.00 new
  
• Audio CD kinda pricey at over $20.00
  
  ***
  
  The above listings are just on Amazon, of course there's:
  
  
• Countless listings both used and new on eBay
  
• New copies on Barnes & Noble online and in stores
  
• Indie booksellers online and in stores,
  
• Public libraries lending in real books and e-books
  
• 2nd-hand bookstores (altho extremely rare to get a Harry Potter at a used bookstore as they're in high demand, believe me, I've looked)
  
  ***
  
  Let's all go forth and buy real books for whatever reason, seriously, we need to support print.
  
  edit: formatting

If you are at all interested in the energy consumption of appliances, you can buy (or maybe your library will loan out) a Kill-A-Watt meter. Pretty cool thing to have, IMO.

This is my almost daily use pot that cuod be used pretty much anywhere you could use this overpriced contraption

If you're putting that on your birthday/Christmas list, you may want to ask for an 'advanced' coloring book, or you may end up with something like this.

If requires you learn some radio and electronic basics. You can get all the questions online, so it's really not that cryptic. If you're not all that familiar with those topics, I would recommend getting the license manual, which explains all the concepts.

That's really clever, but my Swisscard already has a ruler on it.

I think it's a couple dollars cheaper if you have Amazon Prime.

EDIT: I also have this available as a .PDF if you want to print if off yourself and color: http://www.peterdraws.com/shop/between-the-lines-e-book

This one is so much better:

You can get an NSF certified water filter for under $20. Among other things, NSF certification ensures that the filtrate and hardware do not contain unsafe levels of lead and that the filter actually removes what it claims it removes (primarily testing for cryptosporidium, giardia cysts, lead, and chlorine).

Or go the Russian route.

I think I can get almost ten keyboards for that much.

This is the cadillac of pepper grinders.

You should read the book.

(And no, I'm not kidding!)

I never specified where I wanted it shipped to, that was just an assumption you made. The fact is not everyone lives in the USA, so you need to assume that US shipping doesn't apply to everyone.

As for the actual shipping cost. If I can get this - http://www.amazon.com/Modernist-Cuisine-Art-Science-Cooking/dp/0982761007/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1322550804&sr=8-1 shipped to Australia from the USA for ~$20, you really start thinking someone is making a killing off these shipping fees along the way.

WTF, this person is basically charging 20 bucks for 24 bound transparencies. Fuck I wish I would have thought of this.
