Parents tell us they'd like help in determining what products are sold in schools, and we're listening,

Over 80 million records sold and I ain't got to do it with tens or eleven year olds.

Our breaking point for knowing whether it was a good promotion to do or not is whether we sold enough tickets to cover it. In the past we've looked at things very simply: We spent $2,000 for this promotion; that means we've got to sell 200 $10 tickets and anything else beyond that is gravy. There are times where we perhaps don't make everything back, but the publicity we've gotten, the exposure we've gotten, eases the loss.

Our business is booming at the moment. It's actually affecting our stock levels. It was the busiest summer in my six years here. This is the first place I've ever sold cars where no one asks about fuel consumption.

Our goal has been to get this thing sold as a going concern, whether it's a local group or someone else, to try to assure the company would stay there and the jobs would stay there. Although we can't absolutely assure that, it would be foolish to buy that any other way.

Our right to privacy is at risk. As a result, some of our most sensitive, private matters end up on databases that are then sold to the highest bidder. That is wrong, it's dangerous, and it has to stop.

I think my first story sold for $550. This was in 1954, and it seemed like quite a lot of money, and I said to myself, 'Hey, I'm a professional writer now.'

I think come the weekend it is quite likely that retailers will be sold out and will be waiting for the next allocation.

I was trying to think of some kind of educational project so that they'd get more out of their time here, ... When the children learned that the older wild horses that are considered unadoptable could be sold for slaughter, a couple of kids asked, 'How can we stop this?,' and it went on from there. It's sort of an introduction to how they can make a difference, even if they're little. It's great for the kids to learn they can.

I won a Mazda 626, sold it and used the money to fund my freelance writing career after graduating from the University of North Carolina.

I think the owners are excited the place is sold out, and they will be part of the decision-making for the future of the hotel, and they will start to see a significant increase in the value of the property they own.

I think the power of the platforms is outstripping the size of the audience. We can't charge $150 for a game. And when the best-selling game of all time has sold only 20 million copies at $60, do the math!

It is a little bounce and it's not to be unexpected given how much the markets sold off last week so I wouldn't read too much into this. Earnings are going to be very important to help set the tone, but the out quarters are still very much at risk and those estimates have not come down to the extent I think they should.

I think it was Fox, actually; Fox, the studio, which had sold the rights to the television show, as I understand it, but had retained the film rights.

It got very well reviewed, ... I don't think it ever sold that much, but it seems to have settled into this niche of respect, which I find very touching.

It gives them an incentive to market the film aggressively to their constituents. Then they can use the festival not only as a promotional opportunity, but as a fundraising opportunity as well. Generating an audience has always been very difficult for film festivals, but this formula has been very successful. Generally, most of the screenings are sold out.

It broke my heart to see it, because it had gotten sold a couple of weeks ago for $39. Someone just made the wrong bet on that one.

It can be a real nightmare for people. It's a minefield out there. A lot of what's sold today is plain junk.

I think it is important that China be in the WTO. But they must come in a commercially-meaningful way. And that means that their market has to be open for U.S. products to be sold into.? They should live by the rules the rest of the world lives by.

I think it's become a tourist attraction, which kind of takes away the nostalgia of it, ... I don't like that it's become a tourist attraction and CBGB T-shirts are sold at Urban Outfitters and stuff.

It involved lots of changes in teaching techniques and we had to get the staff sold on the program.

I think we looked at it from the aspect that this would be more beneficial to the charities. They would be able to raise more money up front, and it gives us the opportunity to sell more tickets. Last year, the sales period was from March to the end of June, and charities sold 60,000 tickets. With this expanded sales time, our request for tickets is already in excess of 80,000.

I thought she sold quite well. That was quite a bit over the reserve. We have one other filly here that may bring a bit more, but she was my favorite, so I thought she'd bring that.

We never take possession of the goods sold through eBay, and we don't have any expertise. We're not clothing experts. We're not car experts, and we're not jewelry experts. We're experts at building a marketplace and bringing buyers and sellers together.

We never thought it would take so long to sell this house. We were never going to buy until we sold this one, but homes are appreciating so quickly out there. The longer we waited, the less we were going to get.

Ticket sales have been absolutely amazing.. we've sold over 1.3 million tickets more than any other commonwealth games by a long long way.

Tickets sold for both Thanksgiving and Christmas are ahead of where they were last year, so it looks like people have tried to book early to beat some of the price increases, ...

Today, the FDA sent a clear message that all candies sold in the United States, regardless of their country of origin, must meet the same, stringent safety standards.

We were sold a bill of goods, and the buck will stop well short of the president's desk,

We were sold out prior to Ivan. Then four buyers dropped out, and we gave them back their money. And we've got some people who bought lots and don't know when they will build.

We were sold this idea because it would save money. Now we're spending a million dollars just so no one's feelings get hurt.

Well, really the way worked was that I had probably built fifty robots before Mystery Science Theater, and I had sold them in a store in Minneapolis in a store called Props, which was kind of a high end gift shop.

We were so strong yesterday that I think there is a natural inclination to sell a little bit off. But this is a dip to be bought rather than to be sold into.

Yeah I've heard so many great things about it. I went to see it on Saturday but it was sold out. So...

The only responsible action would be to stop treating animals as commodities to be bought, sold and traded, to cease building amusement attractions that exploit animals, but instead focus on protecting and promoting animals in the wild.

The quality sold in the amusement business did not measure up, and that is how we got into the package business with our superior product.

Weapons systems the U.S. sold to the Shah of Iran wound up in the hands of Islamic militants who seized power there in 1979; a comparable scenario in Saudi Arabia is hardly impossible.

With the extraordinary support of our guests, we sold out all six 2005 cruises in record time. This strong demand gives us the opportunity to continue to create even more new and exciting vacations for 2007 and beyond.

Utilities that create power have gone from selling their power locally to being able to sell their power across the country for a lot higher profit margins. We don't have the ability, even as a pool, to get low cost power anymore. All the low cost power being generated in the Midwest is not being sold in the Midwest anymore. It's being shipped to the coasts where they can make more money.

We could have sold more of those flashlights. We completely sold out. These flashlights really seemed to appeal to people.

We haven't sold out tickets as quickly since we were in one of the national championship games. Our fans certainly were on a roller coaster this year.

Unlike the farmers in 'AIDS villages' who sold blood, these people are very spread out and don't know each other. They only slowly find out they are HIV positive and that there are others like them.

We never had any expectations for our first album, so I don't know why we should start now. We hope that we at least sell the same amount we sold of our last album. If it's more than that, great. We're on an independent label so we're not afforded the same things that major label bands are. We don't have the same outlets available to us, but we have different outlets that work for us that don't work for major label bands.

We haven't been sold on the necessity of this,

The problem is, everyone knows how the Super Bowl works. Everyone knows they're going to be sold out.

Without a doubt Mariah Carey's huge comeback was the big music story of 2005 and continues into this year. With more than five million album copies sold to date and numerous awards already won, the results of our GRAMMY poll reflect the public's love for Mariah. We'll have to wait and see if the music industry will give her the credit that her fans already have.

We were under the impression that we sold nothing.

We purchased this and other artwork during our cruise vacations over the years either from Princess Cruises or their parent company Carnival Corporation. I don't even know anymore if any of the artwork they sold us is original or they are worth anything. As far as I'm concerned they might all be worthless fake pieces of colored paper. I won't be surpised if these cruise ship art auctions with cheap glasses of champagne turn out to be a big multi million dollar scam.

When the artists are painting live with the musicians playing, both of them get influence from each other. People also want to stick around a lot longer when an artist is doing something live. Artists have sold a lot more artwork than they normally would.

It was a big commitment to take on because we did not have the signs sold before we committed to the project. We pushed the sign sale and the community stepped right up and helped us out.

We really sold this team on unity. Our motto this year is, 'One way, one team.' We told them we were going to get things done my way, and that if they were going to follow we could do some great things. They've really bought into that.

That would be happening here as high-techs and banks were sold heavily in the past few days.

That was a turning point in my career, ... We've sold in excess of 3 million (copies) in the U.S. alone.

The outlook for platinum is fairly positive. The funds aggressively sold off positions toward the end of last year and could add positions in platinum again and take the metal over $1,000/oz.

There is a lot of antique jewelry being sold now, showing how the Victorian look is also coming back. There will be a lot of lacey, feminine, mature tops for girls to wear this spring.

We have sold a lot of the legal forms over the years. We had a friend who was a real estate agent and she told us which forms we would need to have, and she was right. People always liked that they could just buy one or two forms. You can't get those at the bigger stores -- they make you buy 25. What does somebody need with 25 power of attorney papers?

We have sold more than 30 million Palm OS-based products over the years, and it is not our intent to walk away from such a strong and loyal user base. That's why in May we extended our license for Palm OS, giving us the right to continue to make and market Palm OS-based products until 2010.

We've sold at least 100 T-shirts in the last month.

We've sold more than 60,000 tickets, so after we get all the bands and other non-ticketed folks in, we'll be close to capacity. We will definitely sell out.

Wal-Mart's much slower rate of sales growth in November clearly shows this is a matured global business. As supermarket goods continue to increase as a percentage of sales -- and this includes consumables and perishables sold in big volume at Sam's Club -- we will expect to see a persistently slower rate of top line growth.

Track clubs are a coming phenomenon. There is one in Chicago that is sold out. They are building one in Salt Lake City. There is no reason why New York shouldn't have one.

The property is sold and there will be no more garden center at that location.

Yards have always sold homes and they always will.
