7.005 idleness

Saturday 12/06/2025

Not totally idle. At 10 I packed up all the Palm devices, 3 dead and one that worked, and took them back to FOPAL. I put the working one on the shelf with a $20 price on it. That’s for the original box, the device, a leather case for it, a dock/charger, manual, software CD.

Then we had a section managers meeting. Main thing there was it clarified for me how we should evaluate “high-value” books. I had been told they were “high value” if they were on Amazon at $30 or more. But no, the lowest online price, at ABEbooks, Alibris, wherever, has to be $30 or up. That will reduce the number of high-values I turn in, because I see a lot of books that are $35 on Amazon and/or eBay but $19 or so on other sellers.

Did nothing of note in the afternoon.
