What about all the work that went into him building his business up to the point where he could make $50 a phone?
Are you really that jealous of a guy that worked hard to build his business that you won't take the opportunity to make easy money? I really just don't understand your point here, if you really want to make the big money, why not open a buying group yourself? You're only harming yourself by "begrudging" that guy his $50 because it's more than the $10 he's offering you...
this is why I hate internet discussions. You have assumed so much in your response, things farthest from the truth that is crazy.
The guy that offered me the small amount? Worked for me for years, I taught him everything he knows.
I respect that line of business, I started my business 15 years ago. Personally this isn't for me and I moved away from that sector long ago anyways.
I'll do it mostly as a favor, points are great and no one ever said a few bucks suck. But if you have a open order for a few thousand units and stand to make 40-50$ a pop and ask me to be your schlepper and make 10$ a unit so In the big picture you can make 40-50k for doing nothing... A big eff you very much is in order.
in the beginning I welcomed the churning opportunities, I still do. It's great for all of us and is 10000 times better than vanilla
I dunno I just don't like doing someone else's work for a few dollars or free. Maybe it's just my personality. If it was something that came off as a favor I probably wouldn't mind but it just ends up feeling so much like "go buy 10 of this and 5 of that " and I'm just not in the mood to buy anything and I get annoying reminders it's like screw you!
Again it's probably just my independent personality, I would gladly help someone else earn a income if there was nothing in it for me.
Long before there was buying groups there was people buying the first ipads for others to wholesale
