I'm thinking about buying a scooter because of gas prices.

Chicks dig scooters

[Testm0nkey]

the new vespa (vespa 5s) are back to the retrostyling. i wish i could get one! they're really popular now because of gas prices. everyone in big cities are buying scooters. 77mpg!

[FORSAKENR320]

Nah, anything from buying storage sheds and old cars to alcohol. Whatever I can buy and resell for a profit

Funny "investment" story: I bought two handles of Polar Ice vodka this week for one reason, and that reason wasn't to get drunk. My roommates never bother planning ahead and always wind up getting home at 2:30 with a bunch of people and all the alcohol is gone. One of em woke me up this morning

"We have a bunch of people over, let me buy your bottles of vodka"
"Sorry dude, they're for a special occasion, I'm not gonna sell em for any price"
"How about $100 for both of em"
"Well....OK"

Sucker. Not a bad profit off a $43 "investment"

sesame street is brought to you today by the word "bootlegging"


thats not investments.

Whatever the term you want to use, the end result was an Allen Brothers steak for lunch and more money in my wallet than I had last night

then i suppose you're not opposed to dealing drugs either.

i was about to call bullshit on your buying "liquer"

you have to have a liquer license for one, but in order to get a liquer license, you have to have a commercial building you operate from to distribute the liquer.

if you have niether of these, then it must be you're trying to obtain a liquer transpost license. ironically, these are harder to obtain than a normal license.


but since you explained to me just how you "invest" i don't suppose it'd be too much of a stretch to remind you that what you're doing is illegal, and punishable by 5 years in prison, and a 50,000 (max sentance)

[Spectatrix]

Not that I'm big on taking Will's side or anything, but do you really think cops are gonna care about someone reselling 2 bottles of vodka?

Wait....you're going to compare selling my 27 year old roommate a couple of bottles of vodka for our 23-27 year old friends to drink because they got back from P 10 way after the liquor store closed to peddling illegal narcotics? Really? Jesus Christ.

The only law I broke is selling alcohol in a manner where the mafia government didn't get their cut. Oh no!

well, if you're going to claim selling 2 bottles of vodka to some friends makes you an Invester, i don't see where you can bitch at me.

They aren't for the freeways, I dunno, there is always a 250cc motorcycle

Haha!

I never realized what a complete idiot will was, but Jesus, "I made a miniscule amount of money being a
douchebag to my friends! I'm an INVESTOR!"

I saw one the other day on the freeway... was actually in the left lane going like 65mph!

friggin suicidal

Yeah, some of them go fast (higher cc), but if I were to get one I'd probably get a Honda ruckus 50cc. It only goes like 40mph so its good for short distances and sidestreets.

Why do you think I put investment in quotes? It was a joke, obviously

[Mommy]

1. Yep. Again, so what?

2. Are you fucking retarded? I worked at Discount for like two months right when I moved to Austin because I needed a job ASAP. Jessica (who had a degree) did the same thing, working for CompUSA. When you need a short term job for money, you take the first job you find. I hate having to explain common sense things to people, but then again I'm talking to you so it's expected

3. I don't live with my mom. But yeah, I work a boring office job for my mom that's getting me nowhere in life. Did I mention I have a real estate license, I'm a consultant to a sports marketing firm (advertising for the fucking Wranglers, but it's a start, albeit a lame one), and my investments netted me somewhere around $45k in the past calendar year? That's on top of the $30k or whatever I make working for my mom. How much do you make, with your fancy framed college degree on your wall?

Just because I don't talk about every single thing I do for a living on Techsans doesn't mean I don't do other things besides working an 8-5 job for my mother.

I'm not trying to start shit, but I had a manager position at CompUSA. I was in charge of several employees, had access to everything in the computer systems, dealt strongly with incoming and outgoing inventory, shipped corporate orders in excess of $300,000 at one time, managed corporate accounts, etc. The job I had should have paid somewhere around $18/hr but CompUSA was a struggling business that couldn't pay me enough. They begged me to stay when I left. I actually walked into a damn good position with that company. I got the job because I had a degree. They hired me on the condition that I proved myself. I did, and that's why they wanted me to stay. I never really told you too much of what I did there. I did tell you that Dell was buying over a million dollars in inventory from us a year. I helped ship good portions of that. I am glad I walked away when I did, though, because well... we all know how that company ended up.
