Standing In Line

The time has come. You have waited months for it. You stand in line, ID ready. Wondering and waiting, seeing the dejected looks on the faces of those ahead of you. The line moves slowly, how long has it been? 5, 10, 15 minutes? Finally it's your turn. They scan the ID, then the book. The silence is deafening. Will they take it?

"49 dollars".

Yes! 49 dollars! I was not even sure they were going to buy it back. I will take it! Give me the cash! Goodbye International Management book. It was fun while it lasted. I am going to Wendy's.

I love book buyback (when they actually buy them back).
