Like sell shit at school that kind of stuff.
Currently I’m lifting weights because I make side money by arm-wrestling kids.
I borrowed a dollar from a friend and by the end of the day I had $20 so I think I’m doing pretty good.
Most people will challenge me because they think I’m weak just because I’m pretty skinny.
I let peoples greed take over them. For example, I’ll challenge a guy for $5 bu I tell him if he wins I’ll give him $15.

I work, but if I need extra cash bad enough I’ll mow my neighbors lawn, lazy rich asses will pay me 20$ to mow their front lawn, we live in one of those gated communities where the houses are literally 10 feet apart, so it takes me maybe 15 minutes to do so, easy money.

I wish I knew what I now know about flipping when I was in high school. Thinking back, without even taking the shit into the school I would have made about a hundred bucks a day profit. Hell, I would have tried to be held back a few grades if I was able to flip shit. I missed my boat...

That is exactly what I do, sir.
A candy franchise.
For every £1 I spend at the supermarket on candy I get £3.50 profit.
I sell things at about 4x the price and nobody cares. They all know where I get them from and how badly they’re getting ripped off, but they’re paying for convenience. I’ve been doing this for about a year now and I used to rake in £10 a day, but now I’ll only get £7 if I’m lucky.

I sell stuff on ebay.
I bought a figurine at the dollar store. Paid a dollar + tax (figure about $1.08). Sold for $.99 + shipping ($2.45) and handling ($3.00)... I figured out how to get around most of the ebay fees, so it only cost me about $0.45 to list, and the final value fee was based on $0.99. I wound up with about $2.40 profit.
Not much, really... But I wanted to see if it’d work. It does.
I am thinking about trying it on a slightly bigger scale. I am going to find out when the dollar store near me gets a shipment. Then, I’m going to take pics of a bunch of stuff that I think will sell. If any employees ask why I’m taking pics, I’ll tell them, "My wife/grandma/aunt (pick one) wants something like this, but I don’t know which one, so I’m going to show her. Then I’ll come back and buy it." Then, post the ebay auctions with the pics. 7 days later, see which ones were bid on. Go to the dollar store, buy them and mail them. Win. :-D

Dodge what happens if they are sold out. You run a risk of getting a negative feedback. Gasppers!

Is negative feedback the worst that can happen when you don’t provide?

When I worked at Home Depot... they were telling us about a scandal this lady created. She would take pictures of stuff that was in the back warehouse, where the freight trucks pick up things for shipment, and sell the items on ebay. When people bought stuff, she changed the logs that the item was to be delivered "here" instead of "here." She made over a million dollars before she was caught. It was pretty genius. The people who were supposed to receive the item would not receive it. They would usually wait a while before calling in because places say that it can take up to 6 weeks to be delivered. By the time they called in, the logs had been changed again by the lady. I think the only reason she was caught is that a fellow employee saw her changing the shipment logs.

No they could take legal action. If a seller promises something to the buyer the seller must provide what he promised or the buyer can take legal action.

I think Dodge is mature enough to do this correctly. eBay scams are the worst breed of internet scum. They annoy the shit out of me. They rarely succeed, they just disrupt a lot of legitimate business from people trying to make an HONEST dollar.

Just so long as he actually gives them what they buy, it’s all good.
