HALF PRICE BOOKS Fremont California "Shame on You" by Robert Vegas Bob Swetz

My first visit to Half Price Books was last year 

and it seemed like an OK store while looking. My latest visit in   December 2021 was very disappointing and my new name for Half Price Books is ... "Pawn Half Price Books"

 I entered the store with a box of 20 new books I published on Happiness, very small easy read book for the holidays. I set the box on the counter and the man asked, "what is this"? I said I have 20 new books in here I want to give the store for FREE! He said we don't want them and if you leave them here, we will have them shredded. I was very disappointed and walked out.

 2 days later I went into Pawn Half Price Books with approx. 20 new music CD's I wanted to get a value on. All of the CD's were top rock bands which I had paid around $10.00 to $20.00 dollars per CD. I have been collecting albums & music for around 40 years now and know the TRUE value. 

 

This man at the counter added up what he said Pawn Half Price Books would be willing to pay for my CD's, please note: Pawn Half Price Books sells their CD's for around $6.00 per CD. He said we will give you .50 cents each for them! 

So, let's do the math ... $10.00-$20.00 dollars per CD, you give me .50 cents and then sell them for $6.00 dollars per CD.

 These are like Pawn Shop techniques and for anyone reading this review, please don't sell your music albums or CDs at Half Price Books in Fremont California because they will treat you like a pawn shop. I will (NEVER) do business with this store again.

FASTRAK Bridge/Toll Fraud San Francisco CA USA 8-21-2012

 Well it looks like FASTRAK Bridge & Toll stations in San Francisco California are trying to pull a fast one on Robert (Vegas Bob) Swetz.

 Here is a NOTICE OF TOLL EVASION ticket I received in the mail today. The Toll Station is saying I did not pay to cross the Benicia - Martinez Bridge on 13:10:23 in Lane 6 on 08/09/2012 so they snapped a photo of my license plate and mailed this citation to me. The toll cost $5.00 dollars plus the fine at $25.00 dollars = $30.00 dollars they want me to pay.

 The problem is I did pay and if you look at the receipt down below it shows I paid it, not only that I had a passenger that was sitting next to me in my car when I crossed the Benicia - Martinez Bridge that saw me pay the toll person.

 As many people that cross these Toll Bridges every day, if FASTRAK was to randomly send letters out to people like they did to me that didn't keep their receipts FASTRAK would be making some serious money ripping people off ...

Your not a REALTOR because you search homes at ZILLOW.COM ... Zillow.com "SUCKS"

Please don't think because you search for homes on ZILLOW.COM that you are a Real Estate Agent ... ;o(
I have family members & clients calling me, emailing me and texting me trying to explain that there are all these homes on the market in Las Vegas Nevada, and telling me they got their information from Zillow.com. 

"Well that was your first mistake"

Zillow.com is a OK place to check comps, etc, but a terrible place to search for homes. The listings on Zillow.com are so outdated that it is a total waste of time for anyone. I had to prove it by having my family and clients interested in purchasing homes email or text me the addresses of homes that they saw for sale on Zillow.com.

Everyone of the "Smoking" deals they saw on Zillow.com were sold 1-2-3 years ago, in contract, pending, history, expired, etc. And after I proved it to my client's they asked me ... "Why are these homes showing up For Sale on Zillow.com"? I mentioned so hundreds of thousands of people just like you continue to surf Zillow.com and make money for the company with all your searching and wasted time ...

"ALL I CAN SAY IS LEAVE SELLING REAL ESTATE TO THE PROFESSIONALS AND CALL A LICENSED (REALTOR)" ... ;o)
