Wow, I started reading that book in Junior High, must have read it 50 Times. To this day, there's nothing about those Murders & Charlie Manson that I don't know.

I even lived by Spawn Ranch for a little while. :Oh crap

We gambled on the school bus. Poker I think.

I decided that with all the other groups selling little shitty trinkets they could only sell once, we should sell something that people could buy one or more of every day.

So we had one of the group members moms go buy about 30 dollars worth of McDonalds and sold it for double our cost. We sold out in about 5 minutes and sat around the rest of the time.

Next day we had the mom bring about $100 worth of food, and the remaining three days we were selling about $300 worth of product.

I think I still have the T-shirt, we called our group "MacDaddy's" and our slogan was "You're loving it."

I'm surprised we didn't get sued haha.

We got an A for the assignment, A for the class and got to keep what we made split between a few people. Even with us eating some of it we still turned a massive profit for really doing nothing but having someones mom go pick up food and then overcharging for a product that's already too expensive for what it is.

bahahahahaha!!!

I actually had a link to a guy that owned a comic book store. At 14 he let me buy the porn mags in the back. This was back in 89. I got them used for $1 each. If I would have been smart I could have sold them for $5 each but I probably would have gotten caught sooner or later because I was buying 10 -15 a week.

These cinnamon sticks seem to be very popular over in the States I think i need to try one out lol

i threw parties to make money in school
keg parties the last 2 years.
id make 1500-2000 profit on each one

We would shake down the vendor machines and sell the snacks at half price, until the vendors figured out how we did it and changed the machines.

Fireworks, bought them for around 0.80 cents and sold them for 5 bucks. It was good business for a 14 year old.

Never myself, but I remember a kid selling cigarettes in the hallways. Cheaper than the store too.

Its pretty amazing the stuff you could get away with selling and making a profit out of it when you were a kid

I used to sell sweets to the kids that came in to school on buses would be about £5 a day profit it lasted about 2 years until i got caught by the headmaster.

good times :)

Nice. I did that a few times too. What's funny is that the second time we threw one, there was a big rumour the cops were coming. Everyone took off while me, my friends, and a few girls found a parking garage to hang out at and finish the kegs. Whenever we threw parties after that one, we would just secretly start the 'cops are coming' rumors and do the same.

Was selling mix cd's, anything you wanted I got it for you... made a killing until everyone got burners and high speed internet...
