Random Thought Thread

In theory, with $10,000 and a few people providing almost free labor (like $0.20 per hour), you could break almost any niche collectibles market.

By artificially inflating prices — buying items up and reselling them at a higher price — you could establish a new price floor. And any listing with a reasonable price could be immediately snatched up using that cheap labor.

Though honestly, there’s almost no point in doing it.

Looking at resellers, I realize how incredibly weak they are. 😌
 
Once, locally, during heavy snowfalls when deliveries were completely impossible, I accidentally broke the market for non-freezing windshield washer fluid.

I even got real-life threats because of it.

No jokes, it really happened by accident.

I simply bought a huge batch of winter windshield washer fluid from a local supplier.

Then, for the next few weeks, there were extremely heavy snowfalls.
:rolleyes:

Cheap labor you say?
