Products to sell at school

BJStopper · 22-01-08

Hi! I have started a little buisness at school where I sell different small products to the students. Some of the products are Zippo Lighters, rare pokemon cards, head phones, Playboy watches, etc.

Does anyone of you guys know of any other products that I can sell? I prefer to sell products for less than $20 since that the most money an average student bring with them.

Thanks for all answers

I sold everything but the kitchen sink at School. The most profitable was hot dogs from a food flask.

Thank you for answering the hot dog solution seems very interesting to me. How did you do it? Did you bring anything else to school with the hot dogs, how and where did you sell them and what prices did you have. Please tell me as much as you can

basically I bought the hot dogs tinned. Heated them in the microwave before I left for school. I then put them in a food flask (like a normal flask but with an extra wide top).

On the way to school I bought the bread. I also had a bottle of ketchup in my bag at all times

Then come break time, I'd sell 30 of them within a few minutes (on a good day) as everyone knew i had them after a few weeks (plus I sold sweets before that).

In today's money they cost 30p to make and I sold them for 90p. ?18 profit a day cash in the pocket Most of my mates at the time had to work after school stacking shelves for 2 hours each evening (5 days a week) just to earn ?18!!

Hence profile picture, my nick name 'Arthur Daley' at school (and still to this day within my family).

Hehe, not bad. But were you allowed to do it at school or did you do it underground? Did you get in any trouble?

You was not allowed to do it at school. Some teachers turned a blind eye.... must have been my charm.

I usally sold out so quick it never really drew attention. What I never sold I gave to my 'bigger' mates (local nutters)who'd look after any bother/trouble! Still greasing palms to this day!!!!

Stick with the hotdogs. Teachers are much more likely to turn a blind eye than to stink bombs, bangers and porn. I should know!

Selling hotdogs is a great idea. I will try that on Monday. I could also try to sell cocoa.
But how should I make the hotdogs? I could just boil them.. What would you think about that?

Stink bombs,bangers and porn sounds like school was good where you went

Anyways condoms as funny as that suggestion is, is a good idea I was seriously embarassed to buy condoms when I was that age so I would of bought them off a mate if they had them. You can get them dirt cheap on ebay aswell eg. 10.50 for 70. Go with condoms I think
