>suck dicks behind the convenience store

I didn't make money but perhaps the method is exploitable:
1) have rooted Android phone
2) install Titanium Backup
3) buy $1-$5 app
4) backup app with Titanium Backup
5) Refund and Uninstall app
6) Get your money back
7) Reinstall app from backup
8) Enjoy app you got for free
9) Redistribute on app warez installing services of your choice
maybe turn this into an illicit means of profit by selling pirated app packs?

Sold my brothers final fantasy games 1 - 13 for $1000.

He moved country and didn't give a fuck

>>61771
>tfw no n64 games will ever be worth that much

Telemarketing when I was younger. Easiest shit I ever did. Made $10/hour + $40 commissions. I was 18 pulling in like $1,000 a week. Place got shut down for some shady shit though.

sold pirated CD's out of my brothers car after school for $15 or less/more depending on artist

Sold Pokemon cards from America that hadn't been released here yet.

I tried to do this once. Just once. Then I had a severe vasal-vagal reaction as all my remaining blood went into my lower intestine, and I had to take a huge shit with nothing but loose red cells and saline solution in my veins.

It was nice to clean out whatever shit had accumulated in my system (the main reason I went- the $40 special they had for one visit was just icing)- but I am NEVER doing that again.

Stupid Business Questions general: Hazzard County edition.

All random questions that don't deserve their own thread go in here.

I'll start us off:

>If you start two business that do the opposite, as long as you are being truthful when collecting da scrilla is it legal?
For example if I started a company around a fad diet that became popular, and then started another company that told people not to use the first diet and instead use this new one, as long as I'm being honest and not fucking anyone over, is this legal?

Bought like 30 ecigs online from china fot like 5 bucks each sold em for 20 or 25. And made like 3x upsale by cutting stores selling theirs for 6 or 8 x upsale. Its easy if your a smoker and hang out with other smokers or degenerates. Turned like 150 into aeound 900 by just walking around vaping. I also mixed my own flavors and bottled them for like 60 cents a bottle to make worth 7 or 10 at stores I undercutted at 5 ;) fuck you smoke shops

>be 19
>be dunkin donuts employee
>shitty manager sits in office on computer all shift
>memorize price/change of most popular coffee sizes
>never ring it up
>pocket the cash into my shorts

stole hundreds a week that way, nearly untraceable as most people ordering JUST coffee were also bringing in their own mug (no large amounts of missing cups to account for). man was that team incompetent

>tell him that I need more details about what he can actually get done before I can commit to anything concrete
>get paid $1,300 anyway

>be literally anybody with a shitty upper middle class job

>invest again at 1-year anniversary
>sell a few days alter then move on to something else because no one gives a fuck anymore

>Then I had a severe vasal-vagal reaction as all my remaining blood went into my lower intestine, and I had to take a huge shit with nothing but loose red cells and saline solution in my veins.

What the actual fuck. I've heard of people getting their blood forced into the muscle on the arm, but how the fuck does a needle in your arm make you bleed into your intestines?

tons of cashiers do this, just not running things through tills or only some of them.

Managers and HR scroll through video reels of every employee to catch them though.

>>65352
You are pretty lucky. The Dunkin Donuts in my town are all run by the same dude. He has cameras plastered EVERYWHERE, and he just sits at home watching them. He even has cameras over the trash to make sure people are actually throwing away pastries at the end of the night and not keeping them.

did I get conned? ;_;
I mean psychologically speaking she just hit me when I was hearing my music and not giving a shit.
That book had 20 and 15 dollar donations. I know I even though about keeping up with those donations so there is also that psychological factor there.
And the fact that the chinagirl was gone.

i bet you think the little niggers that come to your door with a box of candy are actually trying to get to summer camp too

That reminds me of one anon who worked in a gamestop. Used games that became obsolete would be destroyed en masse. Pocketing the games was a job risk too.

>>65817
>He even has cameras over the trash to make sure people are actually throwing away pastries at the end of the night and not keeping them.
Why the fuck would he care about that?

>>66465
Supposedly the job can get sued if an employee gets sick from eating food so they cannot just give it away

>>66465
because if people know they can eat leftovers and mistakenly made orders they'll be more likely to make shit that was never ordered just so they can eat it in the name of "not wasting it"

I worked at pizza hut and they were the same way

>>66499
>>66465

Still feel bad for wasting my youth on that shet game, no money can fix that.

i had the most interesting discussion on /pol/ about panhandling where this guy denied dozens of links to stories about panhandlers being able to make insane cash. fuck panhandlers. i applaud any effort to separate fools from there money, but not when they move into my neighborhood and lower my property values and hassle me outside of Target

>>66616

I used to work at a Best Buy across from a Wal-Mart, and some guy would park behind a bush in the Best Buy parking lot where his friend would sit, and walk across the street to the entrance to the Wal-Mart parking lot collecting. Every couple hours he would switch off with his friend. They did this literally every day and I'm confident they were making more money than me. One of them was also a fat ass.

I was walking to the bus at my old high school once and two $20 bills flew in front of me and I was the first one to grab them.

There was also this Carvel Ice Cream online contest where the top 5 scores on these four flash games got a prize. I was playing the space invader clone at school and on one of my plays the game glitched so that all the enemies were moving in slow motion while I could still fire at normal speed. I ended up with the second highest score at the end of the contest and won $100.

>>66598
I made about 750$ off rs and 300$ off forza 2 and 3.

I happen to stumble on the billion $ glitch in forza 2 and 3 with no time spent trying to get it. Then I went youtube and posted on all the fake money glitch guides saying ill sell you 20-30 mil for 3 months of xbox live or 1600 ms points.

So person would contact me he would post 2 of the cheapest cars on the auction block for 10 mil each. I'd buy 1 car, they would send me the code then i'd buy the other car.

Only got "scammed" once which was surprising but i didn't give a fuck i had every halo 3 and cod waw mappack.

The fuck? Where do you live where they don't just force you to exchange your ticket and wait in the terminal for 6 hours before shuffling you onto some shitty plane and charging you out the ass for terrible airline food?

>>68516
Nice. In the US you're expected to feel good from the act and the airlines usually only give you a meal voucher and if you're lucky credit

>>68535
He said volunteer his seat. They usually give incentives or nobody would do it

>>68535
>>68548
Pretty standard fare in Europe. The "EU air passenger rights" thing works pretty well. But also just volunteering, when they ask for it in a panic at the gate, they up the incentives.

>>68535
whenever im flying united out of chicago they always offer you $200 or $400 voucher to switch flights. Im usually flying out sunday nights tho.

I did it once and they put me up in the hilton and gave me a food voucher, $400 voucher and a 8am flight the next morning

I got home immediately and thought about it for the whole evening. I felt ashamed for having been so weak and allowing these two fucking junkies to manipulate me like that and scam me out of my last quarter. I took all those fucking shitty postcards and burned them and vowed never to give money to beggars and scam artists anymore. People who stoop so low as to extort money from a fucking child deserve no sympathy and no respect.
It was a shitty experience but it really opened my eyes.

they did right, at least people wasted their money on cops. Say what you will but i'll take a cop over a junkie anyday.

Yes it's new and sadly its being ruined by retarded ass neo-communists, nanny statists and angsty butthurt college kids with no concept of business, who don't understand why everything isnt just free like when they lived with mom and dad

TSA exists and everyone has to deal with it, so the only people unaffected are private charters and if you can afford that you're not in the same income bracket as anyone the airlines ever speak to. I agree its terrible but its not a deciding factor for when I book a flight. It's fare prices and thats what has been destroying service.

It's expensive to run an airlines. When deregulation happened, the industry became a free market and the reality has shown it is not a good thing. Sure you can fly for under $100 but close-to-broke airlines are flying planes with safety violations and the interior is worse than a crackhouse in some cases.

The government stepped in because the airlines were deregulated for a time and cheap fare prices have driven the legacy carrier close to bankruptcy, if not directly so. Regional flights are not required to feed you.

Read about this http://newsfeed.time.com/2011/10/31/diverted-by-snowstorm-jetblue-passengers-stuck-on-tarmac-for-eight-hours/

That's what prompted the government to create the tarmac rule. They stepped in when the airlines failed to regulate themselves. The airline market was at its golden age when it was regulated and fares were decided with profit and safety in mind, not 'how many people can I jam in a 40 year old 737 so I can make an extra $1"

>>68982
I haven't encountered any of that. I've just been learning about investing. Maybe you're just selectively exposing yourself to the shit you don't like for the sake of complaining.

Let you all in on a little way to make some quick cash:

1. google "P&G contact us"
2. go to their contact form, tell them that you used their duracell batteries in your expensive product (tried up to $70, possibly able to get up to $100, failed to get $110), and the product stopped working because a few hours later the batteries exploded. Send the email, then let them get back to you. usually takes about 2 days. They'll send you an email saying that they're going to reimburse you for the full price of your product, in the form of a visa. Wait around 2 weeks, and you'll get it in the mail. You can only do them once or twice a year to a specific address, but you can send them to empty houses and get a shitload of money.

>>68982

thanks friend.
I wouldn't worry too much about clueless anons. There are people like that in every interest board, some are really there just to litter the place and clog threads and have nothing of value whatsoever to add to a discussion, but some clueless anons are actually here to learn shit.
After all the average 4chan user is in his early 20s so it's understandable that some still have wildly inaccurate opinions on things.

New to /biz/ and new to stocks. I'm not sure where else to ask this.

I have no money now (college student, but my parents are paying for it while I just give them any money I get during summer jobs), but what is typically a good starting amount of money to start investing?
Savings accounts are garbage--I learned that quickly enough.

Either bad management, or someone above your head has a goal/ambition/objective and you are a tile piece that is directly in the way of that, or are integral to its workings.

Regardless, stack your funds and don't be frivilous. Shit like that does not last and you need to be prepared for when the higher ups shift (and they will)

Flappy bird was a phone game released a few weeks ago.

It was really hard.

The developer removed the game from the app stores because he was being harassed in real life.

>>66955
Hey, everybody wins. Wiccans wanted their wands, you cleared your backyard. I actually like this story.

>>69623
Doesn't matter. It follows ebay rules. It is a factory reset phone, regardless of if it has data placed on it afterwards.

>>69636
Doesn't the act of placing data on it mean it isn't factory reset? I mean if this was the case, anyone selling a flappy bird loaded phone could just claim this.

>>69657
No, all that the ebay ToS states is that a phone "Needs to be factory reset".

I could reset it and place all the data I had backed up right back on it, and it will have been factory reset.

>>69630
But why do people pay tens of thousands for shitty drawings?

>>69284

Anything less than $5k and you aren't going to have enough buying power to make any serious money.

The nice thing about the market is you can hold on to a stock as long or as short as you want to. It isn't like a CD where you have to leave it sit there and mature to get a return so you can flip your small starting capital over and over and profit from it countless times.

Here is what I did. Took $5k, invested in 3-4 different stocks at a time, targeted ~$10 stocks so I could buy 100 shares and have some skin in the game. Tried to pick stocks that were volatile and fluctuated frequently. Set a target of 5% gain. When the stock was up 5% I sold. Sometimes it took 3 hrs, sometimes 3 weeks.

Over the course of the last year I was able to flip the $5k 33 times with an average return of 5.76% per trade. The end result was turning the $5k initial investment into $14k in just one year thanks to the bull market.

>>69661
because people are stupid, son.

>>69668
Factory reset implies that you have reset it, and changed nothing.

lel i did something similar to this.

Sold "magick stones/crystals" on ebay to new agers.

Just bought these polished stones/crystals for bulk from some chinese supplier and put them on little cheap necklaces and sold them claiming all sorts of hippie benefits like healing powers, lucid dreaming, astral projection, stronger psychic powers, etc.

Wonder how many people on the metaphysical section on ebay are just like me and how many actually believe the crap they sell.

I believe the market for actual real ghosts is more profitable on ebay though. People just get an item call it possessed and put all this info about the "spirit" trapped in the item.

in runescape during the years 2006/2007 i would don my full saradomin armor and advertise drop parties. after getting an audience i would walk from the varrock banks to the dark wizards circle, where they would kill a few players. one day i got a guy with a green h'ween mask who i guess afked/lagged out.

there was also another time where you could tell players to take the cursed wine which would make a room full of chaos monks attack whoever did it. when they ran for the door, you would close the door repeatably until they die.

Well of course not. You've heard the expression 'too many chiefs and not enough Indians'. Stock trading is basically just making money from exploiting the labor of others.

>>70682
Depends on the state/country's laws. If the laws allow it, go for it. Another thing to consider, though, is clubs are usually run by people who aren't really the nicest bunch. You drive up and steal their business expect to lose a lot of profit in new tires and windshields

I knew a guy that did pretty much this same concept. He went to a liquidation sale and bought up a ton of cheap pendants worth about 30c each. Then he created a website selling "charm pendants" that supposedly gave good luck and put them up for $10 each. Essentially they were the same pendants. He left a feedback section of the site for people to come back and give testimonials. Sure enough he had a dozen or so people coming back and reporting stuff like getting a raise or finding money or asking that cute girl out and her saying yes. He then showcased these testimonials on his site as proof that these charm bracelets actually gave good luck and his sales boomed. Last thing I heard he had ran out of inventory but was working with a manufacturer in China and was pulling in an extra 2-3k in profit every month.

Jesus Christ, that's genius. I must now work on ideas for my magic(k) wand business. What other stuff are Wiccans and people like them interested in besides "charms," obviously.

Grind up herbs and leaves and shit and sell it in little baggies. Someone with a storefront in Salem, Massachusetts during Halloween was selling a huge variety of these. Don't cheap out on the baggies though, nice baggies will exponentially increase the price you can get.

What? That's just silly. What kind of herbs of god what if I offered them in a vial

I saw a couple androids up for about 600usd

I'm not sure if it was because iPhones are owned by more people or if more people know how to sideload android apps

Unholy water so they immediately cast a hex upon someone then return to buy more trinkets for their witchcraft and devilry.

You'll only sell that to the edgy teens. Wiccans are all about "peace and nature" so you need to cater to that. If you want to profit off a specific kind of stupidity, you need to read up on it. Enough so that you can pretend to be a Wiccan and not be doubted.

Earth peace water that promotes love and understanding with nature.

Oh sweet Jesus it's time to duckduckgo "good books to read to be a wiccan" or something.
