From a wild night in a Mexican brothel, to a lifetime ban from Disney, to waking up to a sawed-off shotgun. And that’s just the beginning. Part Wolf of Wall Street , part The Dirt , and all true, S ellin’ Out will have you laughing, cringing, and questioning how any of this actually happened. So if you’ve ever bought speakers out of a van, almost bought speakers out of a van, or just want to know how it’s even possible to make a living like this… Scroll up and grab your copy now. It’s the most fun you’ll ever have reading. Broken down into quick stories, perfect for readers and non-readers alike. Craig Riley once made his living fast-talking strangers into buying "high-end" speakers out of vans in parking lots across America. Fueled by fast cash and the thrill of the hustle, he spent years spinning outrageous stories, dodging cops, and somehow turning pure nonsense into money. In his heyday he owned multiple speaker offices throughout the country.These days, he's swapped the scams for suburbia. Instead of hustling strangers in parking lots, he's coaching youth football, making carpool runs, and annoying his wife Kristy by practicing old pitches on unsuspecting neighbors. Same wild energy just with fewer misdemeanor charges. Kristy Riley never thought she'd go from writing about nap schedules and toddler tantrums to writing stories about cops, cons, and sketchy van deals but here we are. Once a mommy blogger armed with Pinterest boards and diaper-bag hacks, Kristy has officially swerved lanes into true crime comedy with Sellin' Out: True Stories From the White Van Speaker Scam.She brings the same sharp wit she once used to survive PTA meetings and Target meltdowns to wrangling her husband Craig's outrageous hustler tales. Kristy is living proof that one day you can write about sleep training, and the next you can write about police chases and fake "high-end" speakers.She still drinks too much wine and has no less than 30 open computer tabs at any given moment.
