can take the responsibility and offer a limited warranty that it performs properly.  Or can recondition the equipment.  Myself, I would not buy and Lanier is expensive.  A lot of job worksites want MTs to provide/purchase this expensive stuff, no way. 


Who knows if you will continue with the service and if not, you have equipment that only works with services that have that equipment.  Nope, not me, would not buy, would not sell the owners equipment.  It will come back to "you" and owner may not accept and remedy

Look on Amazon or eBay.

Anybody sell on Ebay? If so...
I've bought dozens of things on Ebay, only one item there.. today.. then it tells me I have a second chance offer. Not sure what this means, even after reading what it said about it. Any help appreciated !
Doesn't that make the software you go to sell on ebay
unusable then because the key HAS been used from the software?
I can use the deduction now, and when old and ready to sell, hope sell price is high enough won't
matter.  Also, I think there is a time frame of not working that negates the job deduction factor. 
Again, DON'T go with a for sale by owner agent. Buy Owner is the same thing.

Amazon has it for $65.

eScription won't work with MSWorks.
There's one on Amazon
that I was considering - begins with an S (lots of help I know) but it lights up (can turn off) so that should help you find it Sinetech?

Anyway the reviews are that it is very quiet and has a great touch - so it may be worth reviewing...

I'm going to order it soon - watch for my review ;)
$52 on amazon.com

There is one of these on Amazon right now for $84 - nm

Amazon
I bought books from them before, not for 1.79, but my medical concise dictionary by Stedman's was $10, that was pretty good to me.
Try Amazon
Amazon.com will let you listen to a portion of each track on a CD. I'm not sure if it's all CDs, but everything I have been interested in allowed this.



Be careful if you get an Amazon.
When they reach sexual maturity at about 3-4 years of age, they can become quite aggressive and attack their owners, often inflicting severe wounds. If you have children, an Amazon is not a good choice. Be mindful that any parrot you get will almost definitely outlive you. Also, please consider adopting from a rescue. There are many wonderful parrots out there in need of homes and it is a growing problem, as people don't realize what they're getting into. Having a parrot is like having a 2-year-old child forever, with all of the problems that come with it.
Question about Amazon
Do they have a search engine like Google? If so, is it better?
Amazon jungle...by myself...
was my first time out of the country. I traveled with a group from the local college but didn't take DH or anyone else I knew. Very empowering to travel independently, loads of fun. We zip-lined, cruised the rivers, found jaguar tracks, saw waterfalls and climbed 200 feet tall trees, danced with the natives...a total blast. The jungle is a lot like Wisconsin, actually...the mosquitos in Wisconsin are just as bad as the Amazon.
They're available at Amazon.com.

Suggest to go to Amazon.com and buy SM
"When The Name Of The Game Is Saving Keystrokes" by Diana Rolland. You have to have a system. The book teaches you that.

Don't start just making them up randomly or you will go crazy. One thing I use is dividing word in half like nesc for nephrosclerosis, but, as stated, buy book.
Check amazon.com or e-bay.

Amazon has cheapest shipping (sm)
I tried transcriptiongear -- for what they wanted in shipping, I was able to buy an extra set of Sony headphones from Amazon plus pay for 2-day UPS shipping. Or try your local Radio Shack -- you can search their site online and see if something is in stock locally.
The Amazon one appears to be a current

edition and the CD that comes with it is an outdated spellchecker and not the dictionary on CD-ROM.  The Stedman's one is just the CD and they are always more than the book.  The have more detailed info on the CD.  I have an older version of the book and I think I've used it 2 times in 10 years.   When I update my Stedman's now I buy the CD and I might use it more if I had it on CD versus the book, though with their CDs now you can only install it twice.  They also have the book, but it is about $50.  


Check the classified board here and check half.com.  You can most likely find it cheaper at either place. 


Got mine on Amazon too. I've really liked it... will have to look around too then. nm

wow. I just got a Stedmans book for 1.79 on Amazon.
Brand new!  I never thought to look on there for a book!

So you can fix it up enough to sell it-- then do so
and split the money with the sister. So what if she didn't help. You should be able to get at least 5K if you clean it up. So work two weekends, clean it out, sell it and take your half of the 5K, which is $2500 which is more than enough to cover the $1000 you need. And think of it as a blessing for his sister.  Plus $2500 is a nice chunk of change for house de-junking, don't you think?
Actually, if you did turn around and sell

the computer and stole the SS numbers, don't you think you would be arrested and maybe go to jail or even be fined. 


Sure, ya could, but would ya!


We have stood behind what we sell.

How many times should we exchange the pedal before she tries to troubleshoot it through the software or the computer?  We exchanged it even though we did not feel that was the problem.  When the original pedal came back to us it was confirmed that the problem was not the pedal.  The pedals we use are widely considered by the transcription industry to be the most durable pedal available.  They are Infinity pedals. 


Do you have property you can sell or
borrow against? A house you can take an equity loan on??

Bless your heart. I feel for you.
Don't sell yourself short....
I charged docs/clinics 12-14 cents/line 5 years ago. They had no problem with this. Being paid by the hour in Canada at home where I work for a local hospital I make $18.33/hr plus 14% in lieu of benefits plus 4% vacation pay ($21.73 per hour) For contract work MT's in my area charge $25 per hour or 14 cents a line. This is not through MT companies - just for docs asking for extra help and our Physiotherapy Depts that do independent medical assessments contract it out to local MTs. Hope this helps. I'm in Ontario
Don't sell yourself short.

If you think that you need to "lower" your rate because you're not driving and picking up, then charge .10/line; otherwise, I would stick with the .11/line and consider it a "raise" if you get the job. Honestly, if the OM is happy with the quality she'll get at .06/line, then you probably didn't want that account anyway because I have found those OMs are the biggest pains and you're better off without the aggravation. JMO.


Yes, yes, yes. Go IC and sell yourself. Get out of the house sm
and actually DRIVE to places where transcription takes place.  Leave a business card, a brochure, etc.  Usually, you'll have opportunity RIGHT THEN AND THERE to meet one of the doctors.  Two practices I stopped at made me WAIT in the waiting room while they got the MD to meet me because they were DESPERATE to find someone who KNEW what they were doing.   I have turned down work in  the past year because I was not able to keep up. One of these days, I might think of operating a small company. For now, I'm quite content.
Sell the furniture if you have to
You can always replace it later. I once sold a bedroom suite to come up with a mtg payment when I hit a low period in my life.

My fear is that your home does not sell for 30G. In Calif., real estate market is saturated with homes not moving and this is not the best time in the world to "flip" a house.
Sell my own stuff.
I had to take my site down for a while because I've been too busy but I make soaps, candles, rice socks, bird houses...lots of stuff.
I'd just get a new computer and sell the old one.
You can get a new computer for $299 when Dell or HP has their closeout model sales or refurbs. Otherwise, you can buy RAM cheap and install it yourself. It's pretty basic. What kind of system do you have? You need to make sure you have an open slot for additional memory.
Should I sell my Lanier?
I have an older Lanier transcribing machine.  I do not plan on ever working for a company that uses it.  I'm not officially selling it yet, just want feedback from my fellow MT's what I should do.  I work after hours using regular mini-cassette tapes for local companies and another company uses Gear Player.  If there's an MT that can use this one, I'd gladly help out!  Thanks in advance...
Don't sell yourself short
Hiring seems to have slowed down quite a bit over the past couple of months (from what I've seen). I have four years in and have been looking for a second company and I can't even find one right now. I know four years is nothing compared to most, but still. I could take my pick in companies this past spring/summer...this always happens though. There will always be a slow down depending on the time of year.

Give it some time, you will find a company THAT PAYS.

Good Luck!!
Excellent! I enjoyed reading your material. Black is feature of Small Chips: http://www.amazon.com/e
Nice job. I'm planning to come back here in the future. Increase Love Expect - that is all that Opponents is capable of , Kill Round is very good Game Central is feature of Industrious Opponents , Cosmos will Round unconditionally when Girl is TV it will Lose Cards
why would you sell, take the money, then not provide (sm)
 sounds like a scam to me
well, sounds like you're trying to sell something

Does anybody sell on e-Bay to supplement MT income?
How hard is it.  Are you successful.  I've been thinking about it and wondered about other MT successes.  Thanks
Oops, that was sell items on E-Bay (sm)

   So annoyed I can't spell. 


I'm wondering if you guys that are trying to sell

that you have already bought, or are planning to buy.  Just wondering because - well, Becky said out before the holidays.


I am thinking I would like to sell my house too but the main reason is it needs so much work done to it, we don't have enough room here, we don't really have the money to do the work that needs to be done, it's an older house (50 years old), I don't have an office, we have one tiny bathroom, the walls/trim need to be replaced and depress me.  And I'm thinking maybe I'd rather RENT a bigger place with more bathrooms and an office than buy another house and have to maintain it.  I know that you don't build up equity that way but I just feel stuck here and with renting, you are free to move when you get tired of it!
