Ripped OffA friend who worked in a second hand record shop told us about a Japanese guy who regularly bought "rare" records in their shop. One time, he was looking for a signed copy of "Never Mind the Bollocks".
They didn't have one. Four people and one magic marker later, they did. Ker-ching!
How have you been ripped off? Who did you rip off? Are you a British Gas customer?

Silver BallsIt's Home Ec, we're making cakes and we're supposed to be decorating them too.
But nobody's brought any decorating stuff. Except me.
I'd robbed a carton of silver sugar balls from my mum's store cupboard, all prepared, it was only worth about 40p anyway.
So, imagine my delight when my fellow pupils were stupid enough to offer cash for a few of these sugary tit-bits.
My price? 50p for 5. Amazingly, people paid up.
My profit? About a tenner, approximately a 2500% profit margin.
I spent it all on sweets and a copy of Match, but hey, it was a piece of business that few entrepeneurs can beat.
