What's a PDQ download? Get your Products Pretty Darn Quick (PDQ), no shipping costs, right in your computer to read or print out! Our downloads are in PDF format. If you don't have Adobe Acrobat Reader, get it here free. (Quick, easy, and useful.)  PDF files reside in your computer, where you can read it on screen and/or print it out for hands-on reading in your favorite armchair. PDQs are personally e-mailed to you as a file attachment. This is NOT automated, 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. Please note: Your PDQs are sent only to the e-mail you use on PayPal, so monitor that e-mail address for your order. 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 them out. Step-by-step How to Open a PDF Email Attachment courtesy of ehow.com :  1 Open your email client or Web-based site. 2 Log in as you usually would and locate the email that has the PDF attachment. Some email clients or websites will use a paperclip icon to distinguish emails with attachments. Click or double-click the email to open it. 3 Find where the attachments section of the email is loaded and then find the PDF file name. 4 Right-click the file and click "Save As" or "Save Target As." (The wording will vary depending on email client.) If you are using Google's Gmail service, you can click "Open as Google Document" to open the document in Google Documents, without the need to download it (alternatively, click "Download"). 5 Double-click the file once it has been saved to your computer, and the file will open in Adobe Reader if you are on a PC, or in Preview if you are on a Mac. How to order: Paypal and other options Use the PayPal buttons throughout our site for the fastest and safest way to purchase our Products or your HowToConsign.com Sponsorship. You DO NOT need a "PayPal account" at any point to order on TGtbT.com. Please note: If you use an e-check with Pay Pal, your order will be delayed by Pay Pal for days until your check clears. That's their policy, not mine. Why PayPal? I wanted a payment service that both you and I could feel comfortable with and trust. Making a purchase with the PayPal Shopping Cart is safer and more secure for you since you never give me your credit card number. Signing up for a PayPal account is totally optional. Signing up really only means that PayPal saves your information for future purchases. If you don’t like that idea, just take the “use credit card” choice and PayPal simply becomes TGtbT's credit card service provider for your transaction, like you might use Xcharge or Cynergy in your shop. It is not necessary to have a PayPal account to purchase our products even though we use PayPal to process our payments. They accept all types of payment without the need to open an account. How Does the Shopping Cart Work? While you’re shopping on our site, you will be using a safe and secure PayPal page as your Shopping Cart. The Shopping Cart allows you to purchase multiple items at the same time without having to enter your personal information 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. You can delete any item at any time, so go ahead and create a "wish list" by clicking on things you think you want. Once on the Shopping Cart page, click “continue shopping” to go back to my site. You can review your shopping cart by clicking another "Add to Cart" button to purchase another item, or by clicking on any of the "View Cart" buttons on our shopping page. 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, if you are a PayPal member, that the email and physical address you have on file with them is current and correct. It’s easy to forget to update these. Your order can only be sent to your address of record, so check that it’s right! 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. Don't have/ don't want a PayPal account? You can still order online using just your credit card. PayPal simply becomes TGtbT's credit card service provider for your transaction, like you might use Xcharge or Cynergy in your shop. Other options: Yes, we accept money orders and checks, although this is the slowest ordering option. See the Order Form for information.   Shipping costs and times There is no shipping charge for any PDQ Product. Shipping costs are automatically applied for hard-copy Products only.

Return by Priority or First-Class Mail, as they were sent to you. Shipping charges cannot be refunded. Purchases of our Products from other outlets are not returnable to TGtbT.com. PDQ files: Because these files are non-tangible irrevocable goods we do not issue refund after the product is shipped, following Internet protocol. PDQs cannot be resent to a second address. Privacy policy Your privacy is important to us. On some pages, you can order products, make requests, and register to receive materials.  We use the information you provide when placing an order only to complete that order. We do not share this information with outside parties except to complete that order. We use return email addresses to answer the email we receive. Such addresses are not used for any other purpose and are not shared with outside parties. You can register to receive our free e-newsletter, USED ain't seen nothin' yet, which has, in every issue, an opportunity to opt-out. To prevent unauthorized access, we safeguard information we collect online. We never collect or maintain information at our website from those we actually know are under 13, and no part of our website is structured to attract anyone under 13. Our web site contains no lead and is composed of 100% post-consumer gently-used, recycled electrons. Should you have questions or concerns about these policies, please call us at 941-922-5902 or send us an email from this site.

First, what do I order? Not sure what to choose for your shop? Here’s my best suggestions.  FIRST: You must have the Manual. Absolute must whether you’re just beginning to think about it or you’ve been in business for years. (I'm already in business. Will the manual be worth it?)    Then, you might broaden your knowledge: If you are in the planning stages add 499 Names to your order (this is good not only for the name of your shop, but tag lines, department names, even advertising headlines) and Windows that Sell plus Words that Sell.  In the first few years of your business? Choose The Money-Wise Guide to Accepting & Pricing, The Essential Guide to Using All Your Space, and Secrets of Successful Resalers.  Shopkeepers ready to extend their reach and profitability find 10 Simple Ways to Make $10,000 more a year and Promote with Pizzazz with its companion Double Product 229 Promotional Events + Promotions Step-by-Step most helpful.  Specialty resalers: Childrenswear and equipment, designer-focus, hard-goods resellers, and not-for-profit thrift shops all have useful Products available in our Shop as well. Does the Manual have all the other Products in it? No, they are all separate sources of information. Think of the Manual as Resale 101, the basics. For “advanced study” in specific areas, make your choices from the many Products designed to suit resalers of every type, size, and strength. The only Product that is a repeat of other Products is our Camera-Ready Consignment Agreement Layout, which is designed for the shop that feels the Manual is beyond their business investment budget. Once they see how helpful this Product is, they invariably buy the Manual! "I am already in business, and doing well. What would the manual offer me?" Auntie Kate replies:   Many shopkeepers benefit from seeing alternate ways of doing things. While the systems you already have in place may work well enough, it is always an eye-opener to examine other viewpoints. There may be whole areas that you haven't considered, or you may be doing things which, while they worked years ago, don't maximize today's investment in time, effort, and money. We can always be more successful, right? "I don't want to sell clothes, but hard goods/ furniture/ sporting goods/ whatever. So, should I buy the manual?" Auntie Kate replies:   99% of the info in the Manual will apply to ANY merchandisel. There will be sections where you will have to mentally substitute (for example, our suggested floor plan shows where to put tops, coats, etc., and you might have to think about dining room sets or ski poles or crystal vases) to suit the business you have in mind, but most everything else is the same, just as your potential customers are. "I'm confused! There are so many Products for the Professional Resaler.  Is all that info in the manual or are your other Products simply repeats of the same info?" Auntie Kate replies:   The manual is the Big Picture. All our other Products go into more detail and are designed to take you and/or your staff to the next level of knowledge.
