Random Idea Post-Will not be executing myself

[RBefort]

Saw random post in the buy/sell/trade section on FB that a girl's family were all going to be gone/busy on the holiday, or she couldn't make it back home for some reason. Anyhow, she offered to stand in line for people at $20/hr for first hour, then $10 afterwards per hour on Black Friday. I've seen the ridiculousness, actually having stood in line with gf & her relatives for a dumb cooking pan set for a couple hours. Just pure insane value of time. Just an idea for anyone who possibly wants a small hustle/quick cash. Granted, your time could be spent elsewhere, but hey...stand in lines for 8 hours and you can even browse the internet/work on your business, and make an easy $100-$150...hell, charge more. Maybe charge people $20-$30/hr to stand in line for them, and hire some neighborhood kids for $8/hr, pocket the rest? Could do this in a bigger quantity for those looking for quick holiday cash. My thinking is they stand in line the 4-8-12 hrs or whatever is needed, then the person actually buying item comes to take the place.

End of random thought, no matter how bad it might be

Good thinking, but reverse this. Pay someone to stand in line for you, by a limited item, and double your money. People do it with rare sneakers all the time, as well as apple products on release.
