$100!

Those four bar stools sittin' in a row just sent me past the $100 mark! 

I bought these from my dad who is trying to clear out the storage unit.

They cost me $25. 

I sold them for $100. 

Profit: 300%! 

That's me getting past the $100 mark! 

Thousand dollars here I come! 

The Christmas Tree

Yesterday, my dad told me about some stuff he was trying to get rid of in the storage unit we filled up when we moved a while ago. 

He told me about a pre-lit Christmas tree.

I jumped on it. 

I bought it from him for $5 (thanks Dad!). 

Sold it on Craigslist for $20. 

That's a 300% profit! 

Boom sauce! 

Craziness!

Tis the season to be... stressed! 

So unfortunately not everything has been going smoothly here at My 2 Lincolns. 

The $25 Game Stop gift card I sold for $20 only ended up having $9.75 on the card. 

So the guy I sold it to wanted his money back (rightly so). 

Then the guy that sold it to me, Ben, was gracious enough to give me $5 back. 

Stuff like this happens, Ben sold it to me thinking it had the full $25 on it. 

There's not much you can do about that. 

I suppose I should have checked the amount on the card before I sold it. 

Anyways, I'm down $15 from where I was.

That puts me at $22.90. 

Let the buying begin! 

Stopped the Games

I sold the GameStop gift card.

Someone couldn't pass up the discount.

Seemed like a good Christmas gift.

So, I bought it for $5.

Sold it for $20.

That makes a profit of...

400%!!

The Jig

Yesterday, after my Facebook posts about delivering Cook Out trays with a jig for $10 I received quite a response. 

I had two takers.

After some late night deliveries I ended up using my $5.18 to purchase a cook out tray.

After delivering the first I went and got another.

When the night was all said and done I made a total of $13.90!

My Profit: 168%

It's all in the jig! 

Lincoln 2 Lincoln

Did you know that Lincoln is on the penny and the five dollar bill?

It comes full circle. 

What's next?

Make a Choice

I present my art! 

I never said I was an artist, and it shows! 

Anyways, now I've got to find something to purchase with my recently acquired $5. 

Any ideas?

Money Grows on Trees

I went on by the Dollar Tree to find something to spend my gold dollar on. 

I had a buyer in mind so I purchased 6 coat hangers for $1.07.

I had previously sold one Tootsie Roll for $0.25. 

So, that left me with $0.18, and after losing one of my Tootsie Rolls that's all I have! 

Don't lose merchandise!! 

Back At It With the Tootsie Rolls

Purchased two more Tootsie Rolls and I'm trying to find some buyers! 

Anybody wanna Tootsie Roll?

Spent: $0.04

Conflict of Interest

This is what a $1.04 looks like. 

What to buy next?

I'm Stuck To Her!

Tonight I was able to find a glue buyer! 

There may have been a conflict of interest in the purchase... 

My girlfriend decided to purchase the glue to satiate her glueing desires!

Two glue sticks and a bottle of glue sold for a grand total of $1.00 

With a $0.21 purchasing price that makes a 476.2% profit! 

I now have $1.04.

Hello My Name Is: Elmer

I hope glue is big business!

Walmart!

I went over to Walmart to find something to spend my $0.25 on and I found some glue!

Apparently glue sticks in packs of two are only $0.10! Same with bottles!

Who knew glue was so cheap?

I checked out with a bottle of glue and two glue sticks for a grand total of $0.21.

The cashier gave me a big grin and said, "Big spender aren't yah?"

Now I've got to find a glue buyer.

The Quarter

After my last sale I'm still left with this one quarter. 

It's a rather nice quarter. 2011 Glacier National Park Quarter. 

What should I do with it?

I'm thinking I might go the Tootsie Roll route again and see how many $.25 Tootsie Rolls I can sell. 

First Purchase!

I have just made my first purchase! 

I just purchased this Tootsie Roll from the Candy Shop in the old student union at UNC Charlotte. 

Oddly enough they sell Tootsie Rolls individually and they are $.02 a piece. Who would've guessed. 

Now who can I get to buy one Tootsie Roll for more than $.02? How much can I make?
