It's interesting to see how creative people can be when it comes to finding sources of product to sell online.
In a recent blog posting, I shared the story of a young couple who regularly scan through Craigslist's free category and search out curbside freebies to later re-sell for profit.
Well how about this one? A Colorado library patron thought it would be a "novel" idea to re-sell books and DVDs he "borrowed" from the library! A woman who recently purchased books on Craigslist from the man noticed the library identification stamps and called police.
Denver prosecutors report that 34-year-old Thomas Pilaar was sentenced to 10 years in prison and ordered Tuesday to pay $53,549 in restitution. He pleaded guilty in May.
