    Do one of those mystery box auctions, and put like a paper clip in it or something. It might work once if you get it high enough, but then no one would buy it anymore :P

    Notice how everyone in the world would do that, and no one would pay. Duh. If you buy something cheap, and you sell high, people want to buy cheap. Durr.

    Several...Watch tv late at nite..Should find a info mercial thingy about a dude getting rich on ebay..u can order the ----, or...borrow it off the internet..and no i isnt helping u.

    number 2, for wholesalers, try www.google.com i found several..just need to look hard.

    number 3, sell ---- around ur house, get ur friends to give u ----, etc, sell it.

    number 4...You could become like a crack addicted, but instead of buying crack..u steal ---- from ppl and sell it on ebay..Not something id do..but if thats what ur good at..do it. For example...Shoppers drug mart..its piss easy to steal anything from there..sell the shizzle on ebay

    5. If ur really desperate..and legal age, lots of old pervs out there will buy er..sexuall favors, or virginity. I seen it before..i unno if they banned it.

    6. er..last tip, shop around ur town, find ---- ppl like..look for the best price in town, go to ebay and sell it after u buy it. Now im going to bed

    Nite

    As all things do... the motto is, "The more money you have, the more you make" It's not hard to work that out. Say you have 1 mill, buy 2 houses now in say... Sydney, Australia or San Francisco (the free internet from google!) then sell up later and you make about 100 grand

    Steal --> Sell

    or

    Create --> Sell

    (like paintings, gfx, stories)

    and be sure to offer full rights.

    I actually ahd a friend who worked at Best Buy who did this. After sometime of him buying hundreds of dolalrs of stuff every month, usually more then his paycheck's worth, they started to get suspicious.

    I won't go into exact details, but he lost his job, and had to pay some hefty fines.

    I don't know exactly what the charge was, but then he went to work at circuit city, and did the same thing, then quit it while he was ahead.

    It can work, but you're risking a lot.

    try selling the box for an xbox, it can be very misleading and you could get alot of money for it. when they complain its there fault they didnt read te ad correctly. alot of people have done this before on ebay.
