Same way anyone sells anything.

if you're going to put the time in, why not take it to the logical conclusion of profit from your work even moreso?

pennstate.craigslist.com. (I would not be surprised.) -- nm - amanda jones, transitarian Apr 6, 07:57 3
- you can craigslist anything. -- nm - Jim Apr 6, 08:01
- Sure....you hit the staples for college life, and you'll do well. - Will Hunting Apr 6, 07:59 1
  - any craigslist, people sell the craziest sh*t. "white kittens for sale." what? -- nm - amanda jones, transitarian Apr 6, 08:12
it's just so much work. -- nm - loosilu Apr 6, 07:54 17
- Yeah....but like I said, this woman bought $1900 worth of stuff for $100. - Will Hunting Apr 6, 07:58 11
  - how often does she really get that payoff, though? and she can't sell it for the full $1800. -- nm - loosilu Apr 6, 07:59 10
    - Let's say she uses half and sells the other half at 50% off store prices. - Will Hunting Apr 6, 08:04 7
      - Exactly. If someone wants to invest the time, that could be quite profitable. Although, ideally, they'd probably want to become a team. - Jim Apr 6, 08:07 3
        
        So, I'll sell...you buy. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 6, 08:08 2
        
        Damn...I was hoping you'd buy. -- nm - Jim Apr 6, 08:09 1
        
        Well, it does have the advantage of they're used to seeing me buy in massive amounts. - Will Hunting Apr 6, 08:12
      - I see a new hobby in your future. -- nm - loosilu Apr 6, 08:05 2
        
        Nah, I know right now I don't have the discipline or desire to do this, but I can see where some enterprising person could make good money doing it. - Will Hunting Apr 6, 08:07 1
        
        We saw part of one episode where a couple bought like 300 Butterfingers or something and they were basically free after coupons. - Jim Apr 6, 08:08
    - But if she sells it for $500, she's had a hella day AND still has the stuff she needs for home. -- nm - Jim Apr 6, 08:00 1
      - meanwhile, she's hauling cases of mustard. forget it! -- nm - loosilu Apr 6, 08:04
- and space. you have to KEEP all that stuff somewhere. i spend all my time trying to get rid of stuff, not bring in more. -- nm - Andie Apr 6, 07:56 4
  - I know! I'm perfectly content with saving $20 -$30 dollars a week with lazy couponing. -- nm - Amy Apr 6, 07:59 2
    - I'm simply happy with the occasional bogo that my store offers. -- nm - decline Apr 6, 08:04 1
      - that, and the loyalty card deals are good enough for me. -- nm - loosilu Apr 6, 08:04
  - exactly. floor space is money. -- nm - loosilu Apr 6, 07:58
