How I sold my stuff in two days (Part 2.)

*This second part to my short story of how I sold my stuff includes Leonardo DiCaprio, Donald Trump and a few used books.*





What's better than selling a few things and earning some money ? Selling more things and earning more money. That's a scientific fact. My next step in my moving process was to get rid of even more stuff. So after a second filtering of my things I decided to sell my old textbooks. Hopefully they could help someone else the same way they helped me. So, as the old saying goes - if something isn't broke don't fix it - I did the exact same thing as before and sold them on Facebook with my unique flavour of marketing infused in them. If you ask me I think you're about to witness something on the same level of greatness as the pyramids and hamburgers. Here's the album:

"It's rumored the script for the movie "The Wolf of Wall Street" is pretty much inspired from this book. This is a signed copy by Leonardo Di Caprio. I'm lying, it's actually not signed."
""I wrote this book in one night while in a heavenly trance when god took my hand and wrote it for me"- the author (probably). I'm not saying this book is a big deal, I'm saying it's a great deal !"

"So many tears have been avoided because of this book. Also, lawsuits. This book is perfect if you're going through a break-up, a lawsuit for corporate espionage, a scandal because you fired the wrong person or if you forgot to pay your taxes to SKAT. This is the 3rd Ed. but let's be honest, why would you want the 4th one?"

"Now, I know what you're thinking: social media is just to make your friends jealous. Well it's not if you're richer than god. You need a good strategy when you get back out there !"
"I actually should charge you more for this book because I made awesome highlights throughout it, so I basically did all your semester's work for you (you're welcome!)."

"It's not everyday you need to build a strong grandparent-selling multinational corporation. So don't be an ass, DO IT RIGHT ! "
"Very good book and, even better, it's NOT written by Donald Trump. Any book NOT written by Donald Trump is a good... scratch that, GREAT book, but this one takes the cake. I almost accidentally became the CEO of Microsoft while reading it."
"This book is not for everybody, I'll tell you that. It's a goddamn good book but it was probably written with the blood of the fallen."

And obviously the best comes last. I felt like I couldn't stress enough how important this next book is to students. So I thought, who sells more books than anyone else? The church (that's probably not right but that's what came to mind). You know Jesus is cashing some serious checkes from selling all those Bibles. So I let them inspire me and this is what I came up with:

"THIS ! I cannot stress this enough because there is not enough stress in this damn world ! THIS IS YOUR BIBLE FROM NOW ON ! Stop praying to gods or anything, PRAY TO ALAN BRYMAN !"


SOLD !
The result?


Not as many likes as for the previous sale, however still a few. What's the lesson to be learned from all of this? If you can make fun of Donald Trump, do it.
