Creative ways to get something for nothing.
 

You've probably read about my battery scam and my printer cartridge
scam. Here's another couple of good ones.

This scam is called price arbitrage. It works like this. You go to a
retail store like Wal Mart and you buy a nice watch, for example, that
costs a hundred bucks. You go back a day later and buy one that looks
pretty much like the first but only costs fifty bucks. You put the fifty
dollar watch into the 100 dollar watch packaging and receipt and return
it for a full refund in the time allotted. You get 100 dollars back so
you got the 100 dollar watch for only fifty bucks. You can do this with
all sorts of items.

You can do this at the liquor store too. Buy a big bottle of premium
rum. Take it home and empty the premium rum into another container and
then fill the original bottle up with the cheapest rum you can buy. Then
screw the cap back on and return it with the receipt. Tell the clerk
that you're bringing it back because when you got it home you noticed
the metal seal on the cap had been broken. Tell them you don't want your
money back, you just would like to exchange it for a sealed bottle for
safety reasons.

You'll get a free bottle of premium rum or more accurately premium rum
for the price of cheap rum. I've been working this scam for years. The
only problem is you can't keep doing it to the same store. You can get
by with it maybe once or twice a year.

Most peoples time is worth more than you'd save doing any of these
things. Maybe your time is worth maybe $7.00/hr?

Take it out and wear it. Show it to your friends and family. Get a kick
out their lining up to inherit it. In private, promise it to one and then
later, another, ... until all have been promised the watch.

Please stop repeating that old fart's posts. I like it better when I
don't see them and for some reason (I don't have the beached lubber
killfilled or filtered), I don't - maybe it's his inferior webTV that
doesn't propagate like it should or maybe it's his ignorant use of html
that the newsserver ****cans - but, at any rate, the dude's got nothing
worthwhile to say anywho since he sold his pretend sailboat/ugly
pilothouse Gulf motorboat a couple years ago because he never was able
to figure out how to put the sails up but one time and then it went
backwards it was so slow. Then when he rolled off his boat onto the dock
they put out a beached whale notice and all the conservationists came
a-running to the rescue. Remember Humphry the Humpback whale that got
lost up the river a couple years ago. Well, now there's the legend of
Thom the Blubber whale out there in Washington.

Hey Terd,

Time at night is easier and more positive than day time.

If you don't know; the tail of the Little Dipper rotates around the
North Star each 24 hours. You can only see this AT NIGHT.

I see you've haven't stood many night time watch at sea.

Scotty,

The Earth rotates one revolution a day, making the Sun appear to be
moving across the sky (360 degrees divided by 24 equals = 15 degrees a
hour) 15 degrees equals a closed fist three at arms length.

So now tell me how you time a three minute egg by the Sun?

Many times. Even when it's cloudy. I just look at the GPS to find
the time.

Tred,
Did it ever occur to you to count your pulse instead of the MW timer?

So let's see? A watch, a GSP and a microwave, an the Old Man has managed

"GSP"? I think you mean a GPS, dumbass.
I certainly doubt that you even know how to tell time.

Hey Terd,

I know exactly how far I'm located from the direct rays of the SUN on
this day; 5/27/07. I wonder if you can do the same with your "GPS"? Do
you know where the Direct Ray are located right now? If you know and are
taking a 'Noon' sighting, good Boy! So tell us Terd, where is the Sun
overhead? Just tell us poor Dumb ones that can't tell time. Where is the
SUN's Rays directly overhead and how far is that from you?

Cripes Terd,

You better stop posting. Your stupidity is growing with each reply! Just
because its night doesn't mean to Sun is gone. The Earth is rotating and
the SUN is shining on a Meridian. If you were half a smart as you think
you are you would know where in the World the Sun is Shining directly
for each of any given hour &minute of that rotation. If you would use
your Brain, is you had one that stored knowledge, you'd know how far the
earths slant is progressing for each hour of rotation.

It's OK TERD, there wouldn't be a bell curve if there weren't stupid
people like you to make up the Base.

That's the end of this discussion. You've shown the group enough of your
stupidity to prove your not capable of maintaining a sensible position.

BYE:^)

I realize than Jon, however arbitrage is buying something in one marker
and selling it in another for profit, (well, hopefully for profit),
usually refers to currency transactions, but could be commodities.

I believe the word for Cappy's scheme is "fraud".

Very good Cappy, you however used the term "arbitrage", not "price

context please include the modifier in the future.
