    How Would You Get $10,000 in 30 Days?

    HOT! 
    This thread sucks and offers 0 value to this forum, much like the rash of "I'm about to make 69 million dollars" accountability threads. If you want to make 10k in a month, go read the bootstrapping thread in the lamboforum and follow the recipe. If you have any questions, you've already...

    yo, tomorrow is star wars day. get creative with your hustles. buying tix online right now, then selling them for double outside the theater is probably going to be very easy. Might even be worth it to take some of those sold out star wars toys you should have been stockpiling from target to...

    sometimes you have to think outside of the box a bit. Maybe you can find a relative with an employee discount at, for example, costco. Maybe they have a 10% discount. On top of that, maybe there's a 20% coupon for something over a holiday sale. Maybe there's a deal with 15% OFF all puchases...

    well, it is crunch time for flippers. Who's doing what? don't get lazy on me now. I had a catastrophic failure over thanksgiving with the Patti Labelle potato pie craze. I found a walmart down the road that had them in stock. I made a listing on ebay for them, then drove out to go buy them that...

    2 Acres of land + $60K in Bank: Build Rental Houses?

    first- congrats on saving the money and the value of your property second- please watch this scene from the greatest movie of all time Back to School 60k won't get what you need built, plus it will take 1 year in the best case scenario to happen. What other money could you make with that 60k...

    Veganism / Plant-Based Diet

    HEALTH 
    this guy might have a thing or two to contest about being a vegan looking or acting "soft". I stood next to him at the NHL store in NY a year ago. even a couple years out of the league and he looks like he could probably kill the Predator with his bare hands.

    no reason to bump this to share a charity story that even my mom knows about, but welcome to the terrordome. Flipping has been dry in my part of town lately. HOWEVER, I've noticed that there is some arbitrage in the ipod classic arena lately with upgraged memory. For those with ice in their...

    sell the powder locally on craigslist. won't have any problems. The people that buy protein powder are typically more concerned with getting a deal, than scamming. I've sold opened supplements before and never had a problem.

    Go into debt for buying Magic cards, should I do it?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    CCG's are most definitely a billion+ business. it is all in how you approach it. these are a hard thing to dip in and out of for a flip. That sucks that Wizards has changed their wholesaler policy even further than it was before. Shit was miserable to deal with every 6 months when they would...

    Go into debt for buying Magic cards, should I do it?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    magic buyers usually pay somewhere near 15-20% of a card's value, so they'd actually offer him something like 4 grand AT BEST.

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I know this market better than most everyone here, unfortunately. Spent 3 years as an executive at a ccg wholesaling company. few things you need to consider here -where are you selling these cards if you buy them? Breaking it up on ebay? you'll lose nearly 15% of final sales value -condition...

    I don't have any secret on getting good deals on them. I hammer craigslist with offers. Usually will put out a "want to buy the ___ model phone, have cash now." or the never popular "I will buy your upgrade" Although those usually result in some pretty awful experiences with shitty people...
