Hello! Does anyone remember the Experiencing God bible study by Henry T. Blackaby that came out about ten years ago? If you did this bible study at your church, you probably watched these videos after going over your homework. Today, if a church wanted to conduct the same bible study they would have a hard time finding a DVD for it. Why? The publisher did not release the videos in DVD format.
I found these videos at a garage sale and got them for free! I was buying a more recent bible study by Blackaby at the same garage sale to sell on Ebay, and the owners said I could have them for free. Again, I really thought they weren’t worth anything since they where VHS and VHS’s are everywhere at garage sales as people are converting to DVD’s.
When I got home and checked Ebay, I found nothing. There wasn’t any past sales for these videos nor anyone currently selling them. “Good thing I got them for free!” I thought.
Before throwing them in the Goodwill pile, I decided to see if Christian Book Distributors was selling them on DVD. If they were, then that would explain why no one was trying to sell a VHS version of this study. CBD had the videos on their website, but not in DVD. They were in VHS! I was stunned for a nano second when I then saw “NO LONGER AVAILABLE”. When these videos were available they sold for $169.99 brand new. That’s a pretty high price!
Well, you better believe it! Ebay would be the place to sell these videos. Even if I got $25 for them, it would be worth my time. I started the bidding at $25 and up, up, up it went. The final bid at the end of the auction was $151.99. Yippee! I think it may have gone higher, but I had gone to bed early that night and a question about the videos was sent to me that I didn’t get a chance to answer. It was a from a lady asking if I would ship to Canada. She said “She would pay anything to get these videos!” Wow! This auction may have gone higher.
Keep you eyes open. I’m sure they would sell great even if they were missing their jackets.

this is insane, you have convinced me to start a new hobby....though, in the fall when it's cooler.
do you garage sale in our area? or do you venture farther out?
Nicole,
I only garage sale in the area. I also visit some thrift stores. I know... its crazy what I sometimes find. Many times I feel I'm leaving a great deal behind when I leave a garage sale. :-) Oh well... God is in control and I thank Him for all this "fun" success.
This is just so cool! Greg just started back to school, so perhaps I'll start visiting the garage sales and thrift shops now!
