The Hardy Boys picture cover books have the original text and list to Desert Giant on the back cover. The Nancy Drew matte picture cover books have the original text and were printed during the early 1960s.
The Nancy Drew flashlight edition is one of the textured flashlight variants. This format is explained in my post, "Hidden Clues #6 The Textured Nancy Drew Flashlight Editions." By the way, this reminds me that I dropped the ball on my Hidden Clues string of posts. I will have to get back to them.
The softcover Nancy Drew books are in pretty nice shape overall.
I actually wanted to do two Facebook posts tonight, one on the book find and one about my eBay and Etsy listings. However, Facebook does not allow normal visibility to more than one post per day on my Jennifer's Series Books Facebook page. Whenever I publish two posts in the same day on my page, the second one is mostly invisible. Even when the second post is the more interesting of the two posts, which should result in more views for that post, it instead ends up with far fewer views.
This has happened too many times for it just to be a random occurrence. Websites do throttle traffic for various reasons. In my case, I'm sure Facebook is trying to get me to pay for advertising. I would pay for Amazon Prime long before I would ever pay for any Facebook advertising. And I continue to refuse to get a Prime account. So there you go.
Besides, I do not believe that paying for Facebook advertising will actually help gain me more traffic. I have read accounts of people paying advertising only to find that traffic decreases in the long run. These people claim that Facebook allegedly throttles the traffic even more in order to force the user to continue to pay for visibility. I'm not going to play that game.
My solution was this blog post with the book finds mentioned first, followed by what I wanted to mention about my eBay and Etsy listings.
I was fortunate to receive eBay promotions for each of the last three months in 2019. This resulted in me being able to list over 300 listings each month without having to pay an overage. The promotions were granted undoubtedly because of the holiday season. Now it's January, and I have not received a promotion. I have an overage looming.
In an attempt to avoid the overage, I have placed all of my eBay listings at 10% off for the next week until the end of the day Saturday, January 25.

I have also reduced the prices of my Chalet School books yet again. They are now at fire sale prices.
I recently listed quite a few Sweet Dreams books on eBay.

I also placed my Etsy listings on sale until the end of the day Saturday, January 25.
If you see this post after the close of the sales, the discount will no longer be active and will not be honored.
