Ebayer "growing" his own wheat backs!!

Postby pennypicker » Tue Apr 19, 2011 11:34 am

Sound strange? Yesterday I was looking through the "wheats" listings on ebay and found an auction I liked so I began looking over the sellers feedback history and I noticed he was selling a lot of his bulk wheats to one buyer in particular. So I then looked over this one particular buyer's feedback history and found that (all) he buys is wheats--and he's buying huge amounts sometimes 5000 a day and 20,000 a week! So I then looked at this buyer's (seller) feedback history to see if he was reselling them in smaller lots for profit but I discovered that (all) he sells is tulips--and I mean hundreds of young, single plants, in the pot with soil at one plant per auction.

These tulips were all different varieties and they're roughly sellling for $7 to $25 each on ebay. So on the surface it looks like this person has his own tulip growing operation and he is using his profits to buy (hoard) wheats--in affect he is growing his own wheats! :D

Tulips are popular round here. I wonder what kind of deal he'd make, wheats for plants. Then I could sell the plants to my landscape clients. For silver :D

You forgot one, finance it.

I don't understand the deal with wheats...Memorial Cents are history now, maybe we should be saving them?

One of my dealers told a story to me of a guy that bought wheats from him on a weekly basis and had a goal of I think 1,000,000. He hit his goal, then sorted them, made sets and sold the sets.

No no no, scratch that!

Financing only builds capitol. The three things I metioned either produce a tangible intrinsic value resource or adds value to tangible intrinsic value resources.

Capitol is just a means to have acess, eh?

You can also build wealth "Buy low and sell high".

This fits the buying the ATB coins and selling them, any retailer, real estate, stock market.....
