Second the Tana French & Robertson Davies recommendations.
Anything by Bernard Cornwell, particularly the Saxon Tales & Sharpe series.
The Sean Duffy series by Adrian McKinty…a Catholic police detective in Northern Ireland during the Troubles.
Fortune’s Children – the Fall of the House of Vanderbilt. Fascinating look into the excesses of the Gilded Age.
Well, now that I see the back, maybe someone at the RIAA could help you identify the people in the photo? Maybe they have an archivist or historian on their staff??
The Recording Industry Association of America® (RIAA) is the trade organization that supports and promotes the creative and financial vitality of the major music companies.
I have two 27-inch monitors (they are 24 inches wide). My advice is to go as big as you can and have dual monitors if possible (in my opinion, the latter is more important than the former). I’ve had dual monitors for 6 or 7 years and they quickly made themselves indispensable.
I think these are the ones I have. Looks like they are about $200 on Amazon. I think I paid a little more but it was a while ago. Haven’t had any problems with them. I don’t do any gaming or anything fancy, just ebay and office work.
You are required to use the accrual method for the inventory portion of your business. If you are selling on ebay, you should be tracking inventory and deducting the related COGS as you sell an item. If you are deducting your purchases as expenses, this is incorrect according to IRS rules. There is no choice in the matter.
The choice of accrual vs. cash pertains to the rest of your business expenses, aside from inventory. Accrual is more complicated and less intuitive for the average person, and so generally people choose it only if there is a compelling reason to do so…for example, if you carry significant payable and receivables over from year to year and using the cash method would grossly under/overstate your income.
There are also situations where the accrual method is required, but they are specific in scope and/or at quite high levels of average income. These situations are unlikely to apply to most readers of this forum, but of course you should always consult a qualified accounting professional to advise you about your own business and tax situation.
If you do change your accounting method, there are specific rules about doing it and application forms you must complete.
There is some incorrect information in the responses above, so I would again reiterate that you should consult a qualified accounting professional, such as a CPA.
Thanks to everyone for the responses. I hadn’t noticed that “listing” was a link…that’s helpful information.
Here is an example FYI. If you click on the word listing at the top in the blue banner, you’re taken to the actual sold that was originally clicked on.
I don’t know what it is, but it has the look of something that was made for use by a historical reenactor. Maybe that will help? I took a quick perusal through http://www.townsends.us and didn’t see anything similar, but it seems to have that vibe.
Did some googling on the airport, looks like it might possibly be Richard B Ogilvie, 35th governor of Illinois.
Hey, just want to remind everyone for their planning for 2018 taxes that the personal exemptions are going away. For us, as a household of 3, the loss of the exemptions completely offsets the increase in the standard deduction.
I think their strategy of only selling on sunny days is to blind you straight off in the mirrored room, so you won’t see the rest of the house.
Kind of looks like a Shaker stepstool chair. Not sure if that is the exact name.
Simon, I’m looking at an old statement from 2006 (they used to send these out in the mail) and it says “we assume you will continue to work and will make the same amount as in 2004 or 2005). Presumably their methodology is still the same.

under “Your Options for Responding to a Return Request”>”You accept returns in your policy and the buyer changed their mind about a purchase”
If you stated in your listing’s return policy that you accept returns, your buyer can return the item to you, even if they’ve changed their mind.
Here are your response options:
Accept the return – The buyer will send the item back to you for a full refund, including original shipping costs. If you stated in the listing that you’ll cover return shipping charges, choose how you’ll arrange for the item to be returned.
