Our Products for the Professional Resaler
make YOU more money
Written
specifically written for consignment, thrift, and resale shopkeepers and
managers, TGtbT's Products actually started in 1983
with the Too Good to be Threw Resale Industry Newsletter, which was
published
for 20 years until superceded by this site.
In 1988
Kate wrote the first edition of Too Good to be Threw: The Complete Operations
Manual for Consignment Shops. Recently Kate added information on
buying outright in the revised and
expanded Too Good to be Threw: The Complete Operations
Manual for Resale & Consignment Shops. Read
the Introduction and check out the Table
of Contents.
We think you'll agree that the Manual will be your
first TG resource
on your business-growth shelf... but not your last!
The best articles
from the newsletter are now available in two of our Products, Used
News and The Best of Too Good to be
Threw. Both these publications and our dozens of other aids
can give you a head-start on your competition. Every single Product is developed exclusively for the resale
industry and each will save you time, money and effort. They are proven
profit- and image-builders. Choose how profitable you want to
be at our on-line shop!
What's
a PDQ Download?

Darn Quick (PDQ),
no shipping costs, right in your computer to read or print out! Our
downloads are in PDF format. Most Products for the Professional Resaler are
available as PDQs, as indicated on our Shop
page with

free. (Quick, easy, and useful.) PDF files
reside in your computer, where you can read it on screen and/or print it
out for off-line use. To feel comfortable with Acrobat Reader (or
simply to test that you do have Acrobat on your machine), here's our Catalog
of Products for the Professional Resaler file that will show up fine on your screen and allow you to
print it out.
PDQs are personally e-mailed to you as a file attachment. This is
NOT an automated procedure, so you will NOT get it
instantaneously. You will get it PDQ; Pretty Darn Quick,
directly from Kate's fingertips to yours, usually within less than
12 hours (unless it's bedtime.) Your PDQs are sent "by hand" for several
reasons: it assures your purchase is free of problems, it
allows Kate to add a personal note, and it keeps our
Products at a modest price which saves you money. Please
note: Your PDQs will be sent only to the e-mail you use on
Pay Pal, so monitor that e-mail address for your order to arrive.
Because these files are non-tangible irrevocable goods we do not
issue refund after the product is shipped. PDQs cannot be resent
to a second address.
Once you have your PDQs, read them
on screen or click the little printer icon on Adobe to print it out. Then take it to your most comfy chair,
get out your highlighter, and enjoy!
What should I
buy?
Why
PayPal?
Kate wanted a payment service that both she and her customers
could feel comfortable with and trust. While Kate doesn't feel like
she's a "stranger" to you, making a purchase with the
PayPal Shopping Cart is safer and more secure for you since you
never burden Kate with your credit card number. Plus, PayPal
accepts a wide variety of credit cards.
For new buyers, signing up for a PayPal account is totally
optional. Signing up only means that PayPal saves your info for future purchases. If you don't like that, just
opt for "use credit card". (Note: if you
select "use my bank account", your order will be delayed
by PayPal until your check clears. Their decision, not
mine.) Why would you want a PayPal account? It's easy, fairly
painless, quick, and safe. And you can use a PayPal account for all
sorts of things. To learn more about PayPal, visit
their website.
How Does The PayPal Shopping Cart Work? While
you're making your selections, you will be using a secure
PayPal page as your Shopping Cart. The Shopping Cart allows you to
purchase multiple items at the same time without having to enter personal
info over and over. When you click on the
"Add to Cart" button next to the item, you will see your
selections on a secure page hosted by PayPal. If you're still a bit
nervous shopping online, check out the URL of the Shopping Cart page
and you'll see that it's a secure (beginning with https) PayPal URL
window.
You can delete any item at any time, so go ahead and click on
things you think you want. You can review
your shopping cart by clicking any of the "View Cart"
buttons in our shop. When you're ready to check out, review
what you've ordered in your Shopping Cart, then click "check
out."
It's important to verify that the email and physical address you
have on file with PayPal is current. Your order can only be sent to
your address of record, so check that it's right!
Shipping Costs
There is no shipping charge for any PDQ Product. Shipping costs are automatically applied for hard-copy Products
only, for orders to the US. Your PDQ Products do not influence the
automatic shipping charge.

Shipping for hard-copy Products:
For orders up to $30.99 $3.95
Order $31 to $50.99 $5.95

Canadian orders: Click
the "Add Canadian postage surcharge" button once at any
time during purchase on our Shop page. This
adds $3 US to the standard shipping.
International (Non-US/non-Canada) orders:
Click the "Add International postage surcharge" button
while shopping at Shop. This adds $15 US to the standard shipping.
Also, please note: Pay Pal is the preferred method of
payment, because it's fastest. But if you use an e-check
with Pay Pal, your order will be delayed by Pay Pal for 4-5 days
until your check clears. That's their policy, not mine. Use a credit card with Pay Pal for fastest service. Rather use
another
way to pay?
