Amanda Shires Quotes

Put two Yankees in a room together, and in an hour they will each have gained ten dollars from the other.

Buy cheap and sell dear.

I was always pretty good with making deals. When I was in sixth grade, when Pokemon cards were hot, I might have started with, like, three or four cards, and then at the end of the year, through trading with my friends and everything, I ended up with the biggest card collection in my school.
