The Story of American Bank Note Company

Bought: $4.37 Sold: $99.99 Fees: $11.61 Profit: $84.01

I stopped by the Cornwall VV while in town for work on Friday and I wasn't finding much so I wandered down the book aisles. I tend to stay away from books - far too many people go everyday and scan every book and make it hard to find anything and I do well enough with everything else. But I still check the books to see if anything stands out. I try to look for odd or interesting books, ideally books with small print runs. This is a book self-published in 1958 by the American Bank Note Company about the company's history and inside was a note indicated that it was a pre-release gift to someone. I searched it on eBay and saw that a number had sold for about $100, so for $4 it was an obvious buy. I listed it yesterday and sold it today. Less than 48 hours from buying it to having it sold, and with a nice $80 profit.
