In school a couple of days ago my friend and I were talking about things. We came up on the topic of nitendo games somehow. Anyway, he told me this really good way to earn money. Though, I havn't tried it out myself yet, though it sounds interesting.
Down at the shopping mall there is a Cash Converter stall on one side of the walkway and a Game Traders store on the otherside. Apparently you can go to Cash Converters and pick up a second hand nitendo game for $2 and then go and sell it at Game Traders for $8. So that would be a profit of $6. If you kept doing that you would earn money very fast. Though you would probably start to look suspicios going back and forth from those two shops.
I think the reason that Game Traders buys them for $6 is because when they get them they actually take off the case. Then they clean the insides and put it back together. Then they sell it for $21.
Next time I go to the shops I'll have to try this easy money technique.

When blockbuster first started selling trading games, they where giving some great deals that could result in large profits. It went something like this:
If you could trade in games for store credit. You they would give you $10 store credit for every game, reguardless of condition, as long as it played. If you bought 2 used games, which sold for roughly $15, you could get a free used game. That is a $5 profit. All you have to do is buy in bulk, and this can turn to money real fast. You could also find packs of used games on ebay for dirt cheap. My boss did this for a month, make close to $1,000 going from blockbuster to blockbuster. They found out what he was doing, by the large ammount of activity on his account, they banned him from buying or selling games there. The $1k in store credit was split into multiple gift cards, which he sold on ebay, making him about $800 in cash. | |

That's all I can say as of now. But, was it worth the gas money and total time period? That's the only thing. =/ | |
I'm sure it was, my boss is an accountant, he is constantly doing things like that. He is crazy about saving money, he even buys coupons from ebay to save a few bucks.
