Over time you seem to notice that you are "broke". Then you want to get all of these items, or simply you just want the "money in your hands."
Well in this egg I am going to show you how to make money in school. (yes that lovely green cotton-paper This is going to be based around the grade group Elementary-Highschool.
-------------------------------------------------------
The first thing I would recommend is seeing what your schools demands are, this process can be anywhere from easy to extremely hard. The way I found out my schools demand was I looked around for what people "begged" off of others, it was obviously... gum! Ask yourself this, "Have I ever had (insert item name here) and mass amounts of others asked if they could have some?
ex: Have I ever had gum and mass amounts of people wanted some?
Your "Resources"
Your "Resources" is the place were you buy your inventory.
~When looking for you Resource( or what ever you want to call it, but for me resource sounds cool) make sure it isn’t a large name where a lot of customers will discover. Try to make sure that your resource can give you the best possible discount you can get.
For me my resource is Biglots, yes big lots most people I know think it’s a furniture store but they are very wrong. It’s a general super discount store.
Never Ever Reveal Your Resource! Especially friends!
Gum
Gum is an okay thing to sell you will be finding yourself, running into a lot of problems, such as; others beginning to sell it to causing competition and sell income. The way I would suggest doing this, is going to your local gas station and buying the 10 pack of 5 pieces, Make sure you have a reasonable markup percent, out of your personal preference. I sell em for 50cents a piece. Or you can also go to your resource and buy bigger packs of it, here is a pack I bought: See only for 26 cents! and I will resell it for 1 dollar. Gum is a easy but competitive product, so select carefully!
Candy
Candy is a "fun" object to hustle. Because their little candy filled mind may become addicted. I particularly like to sell
Pixie Sticks Because, after Valentines day there came the Pixie Stick Rush, were there was mass of pixie stick sniffing (idiots). I was buying them for $2.50 for a 4 lbs. bag and selling them by the spoon full in a little zip-lock baggy. I also bought 50pc. assorted neon straw pack for 80 cents and sold a 2in cut off it for 50 cents each.
So you take a fad and make it into a way to make profit.
Energy Drinks
This is my personal favorite!
I make the most profit from these, thanks from my resource(s).
I go buy around 2-5 of the drinks for 60 cents each!
Then, resell them for $1.50-$3.00 (depending on the drink.)
Have large profit amount.
Today I bought 1 top seller and 2 new types.
(My Resource didn’t have as much in stock today.)
So I think you get the picture: Buy Cheap Knock-off Brands+Resell at regular Brand name prices= Profit
Random Resource(s) items
You can always sell discount items such as, well any thing you think you sell easy and fast at a reasonable/good price.
One thing I also sell is Movie Posters!
I get this from a resource that much others cannot get access to... But take things like these advantage of, before there gone!
Preparation
I will suggest this to everyone!
•Get a big backpack! (2100 cu in / 34.4L+)
•Starting Money of $20+
•Never Ever Tell anyone your resource(s) not even friends.
•Keep this underground from teachers
•Don’t tell parents or family members about it.
•Keep your money organized!
•Always have change!
•Wits to get out of trouble.
•Say no to: "Oh, I’ll pay you tomorrow, I promise!"
•Feed the demand.
•Don’t do refunds on already opened items
•Keep it fair!
Conclusion
Glorious Money!
After an okay three days of selling.

Feb 17, 2008 8:21 pm - I make much much better money by selling Software at school
Such as OS’s, games and other programs.
Sabayon linux is all the rage at school.
I downloaded it for free and I burnt it on disks that i sell for 50 bucks a piece.
This is minor stuff you are selling.
The real money comes in with the big stuff.
Feb 17, 2008 8:38 pm - Well my "resource" Biglots, dollars stores, flee markets, and someone I know that works at the movie theaters that can get me movie posters.
and xvi ecuervox, that’s a good idea, but I also sell digital cameras, MP3 players, lol
Feb 17, 2008 11:28 pm - Depending on how strict your school is, is how much trouble you can get in, at a previous school I went to I got caught. What happened is they search my locker & backpack, they confiscated all of my items, and the I got a 5 day suspension + 2 Strikes (if you got 3 strikes you get kicked out of the school) and "junk" food was banned at my school district, so every time someone got caught eating junk food I would be the first person to investigate.
So then I swapped schools so now I’m in a K-12 school, so it is a long term "investment", lol. But this school is way more strict there are what I call "red zones" where there is the camera area, and I got a miss conduct form thing (getting in a fight), so I was left in a room with all of the camera room, and I took a picture w/ my phone so I could figure out "green zones" where I will sell, and so far I haven’t gotten caught, just follow the guild lines and keep it close and you won’t get caught.
The proper term for what it is called is in-school merchandising, so make sure you look through the hand book before so I you do get caught, you might be able to say it wasn’t in the handbook so therefore there was no recorded violation, lol
Feb 18, 2008 8:49 am - a better way is to ask people if you want them to have something bought by you for an extra dollar or .50 cents, people have asked me at least 5 times
eb 18, 2008 11:55 am - or u could find somebody that sells weed for cheap and sell it for more. it takes very little weed to make the same profit from stuff like 10-15 energy drinks
Feb 18, 2008 2:59 pm - - Jeez nobody can catch a break on this site. This kid gives a detailed explanation with pics how to set up your own in-school portable market and people are giving him shit? Granted hes just selling people stuff, he did explain this very well. And Alle, smoke my pole...smoke my pole
Feb 19, 2008 5:44 am - Not bad, and it isn’t that complicated.
Another good thing is if you have a friend that’s a grade above and takes great notes - you can sell photocopies of the notes for a ton of greenbacks. I did that in college (yes, I got decent marks...) and it netted me a couple of hundred the first time I did it. (The photocopies cost me about $10 in total.)
Feb 19, 2008 12:43 pm - It has been done hundred times before, but wayne?
I gave 3* Its nice and detailled, and wow ow it works! So what do you want more?
Feb 19, 2008 3:10 pm - this aint even worth all the work...your better off downloading a bunch of cds, buying a 100 pack of blank cds and burning cds and selling them 3 dollars each 2 for 5
or you could just buy some good weed and sell in only nicks so u make the most profit
