A long way back in 1991, the market price of gold was about the same as the price of platinum. It was a golden opportunity back then for anyone to exchange all his or her gold into platinum and becomes rich by now 'coz the price of platinum is more than twice the price of gold nowadays.

It's easy to mention this missed opportunity on hindsight.

Selling these 31 Nice Used Books

In the afternoon of Sunday, April 8, a friend had driven a good distance to my place of residence and handed over to me a huge lot of 31 interesting books, 30 paperbacks and one hardback.

He'd asked me to help him to sell these nice used books at Yahoo! Auctions Singapore, and I am now thinking several descriptions to write about these books in order to create those auctions pages.

But first of all, I have to shoot several nice photographs of everyone of these books individually.

Meanwhile, I have to find some space in my bookshelf to stack up these books carefully 'coz it may take quite awhile to sell them on auctions. SOLD!
