End of One Green Paper Flip

I have been having trouble maintaining my two blogs. Life is super busy, especially with a little one running around. Unfortunately I have come to the decision that I am going to close the One Green Paper Flip blog. Don't despair - the dream of paying off my mortgage is not dead. The idea of buying and selling things is not dead. My other blog is about doubling what I have until I pay off my mortgage - any way I can. You can read more here about why I decided to do this. The simple fact that my previous post is back in January says it all. Thanks for checking this blog out and I hope to see you at my other one. The Double Challenge.

I am officially donating all One Green Paper Flip funds to The Double Challenge. Good luck me!

For the record, The One Green Paper Flip venture made $343.79, all out of a $10 bill. I'm somewhat proud of that. Only a couple hundred thousand dollars away from my goal. This isn't a failure in my mind, but rather a restructuring toward my ultimate goal.

Take Care and my all your Flips be Green Ones (did I actually just write that?)

FINALLY sold the Elliptical

After a really long time, I have finally sold the Elliptical Trainer. I think perhaps the reason it took so long is because I was lazy and didn't post a picture for a long time. The tires went fast without a picture, but I guess tires are tires. The funny part is that the picture I put on the ad was from the Canadian Tire website, so it wasn't the real thing anyways. The other thing that may have helped was that many New Years resolutions involve getting in shape. In any case, the elliptical has sold for a bit less than I anticipated. I bought it for $50 and sold it for $80. It retails brand new for $189+tax. Oh well, a profit is a profit. $30 more for me. Time to look for something else. All I have now is that darned crappy coffee maker.

Finally Some Interest in the Elliptical

Someone e-mailed me an offer on the elliptical. It wasn't what I thought I would get for it, but at this point I'll take anything that is a profit. Stay tuned.

Ok, ok... it's been a LONG time since I posted. I must admit that I am definitely more into my other blog right now, The Double Challenge. I am somewhat surprised that I haven't been able to unload the elliptical yet. I had a few people e-mail me about it but to no avail. I mean it's New Years! This is prime elliptical buying time with people's New Year's Resolutions and all. Yeesh. At first I thought it was because I was too lazy to put up a picture, but I did that last week and I still haven't heard boo. It's up on three sites too. What is going on? Any suggestions?

Almost Robbed!

Holy camoly! I just dogged a big bullet! I had $280 of my One Green Paper Flip money (as well as the $20 from my other blog and $100 in normal cash) in my wallet during an ice hockey game. Somehow someone managed to break into the change room (even though it was locked) and a lot of guys lost a lot of cash. The guy on my right lost $200 and the guy on my left lost $60! For some reason they didn't touch my stuff. I think it was because my bag was closed and it would take them an extra few seconds to open it. Other than that I have NOOOO idea why they would spare me. I guess they ran out of time. My sister says I have a horseshoe up my butt. I'm starting to believe her. Luckily, I lost NOTHING, but I you can be sure that's the last time I bring that much money (or perhaps any) to a hockey game again.

Sold the Tires!

As predicted, I sold the tires for $150. Since I bought them for $40, that makes it 275% profit! Ye-haw!

Building My Stock Again - An Elliptical Trainer!

I found another good deal (I think) on an Elliptical Trainer! The goods are getting bigger and better these days. This retails at $190CAD and I think I can sell it for $120 and make a healthy profit. That means I have the following right now:

Snow Tires
Elliptical Trainer
Crappy Coffee Maker

The Elliptical is supposed to be dropped off this weekend, so no gas spent for me!
