I'm shit at get rich quick schemes...
I'm always trying though. I've made a few quid through selling off old tat on eBay, but that doesn't really count does it? I've bought things before though with the express intention of selling them and making a fast buck.

A box of golf tees from Aldi - something like £4.99 for 500 of them, I thought I could at least sell them for a tenner. A bit of investigation revealed that in fact you can buy 500 on eBay for about £2.50. Arse.

Pay as You Go sim cards from O2, up to 10 per application free of charge. I got about 30, thought I could sell them for £4.99 each, found that eBay was full of £2.99 ones. Arse. Tried selling them for £1.99 each, got rid of about 3. At least they didn't cost me anything.

Little hand-held sander from Aldi for £7.99, thought I'd get £12 for it at least. I lost the fucking thing, so that was a dead loss.

Finally, I think I've had some luck: a couple of weeks ago I bought a guitar from Cash Converters for a good price, and sold it at a profit... still waiting for the money though, since I sold it to a friend I haven't seen since. I'm confident of getting it though, it's just taken longer than I expected.

I don't think Richard Branson needs to worry about me just yet...


/length? £1 per inch to you, that's a bargai... oh shit, no it's not, it's only 79p over there O_o

Well Branson
started off by importing records from France and evading import duty and tax. Then it got worse.

Even lost 30p on the postage.

Arse.
