So i just bought 15 hdmi cables on amazon for $60. The rocketfish bestbuy brand. Going to try to sell them on craig's list for about 15-20 a piece. Anyone have experience trying to do this?

10 - 8ft cables
5 - 4ft cables

Yes, I am a professional Craigslist HDMI Cable Vendor. Get off of my turf.

I just had the TWC guy give me one when he came to hook up my internet.

i'm pretty sure you do it by making an ad on craigslist

8/22/2010 7:23:18 PM

no, i don't have any experience ripping people off

8/22/2010 7:32:39 PM

how am i ripping people off?

8/22/2010 7:41:14 PM

no more of a rip off than what Best Buy does... every single day.

Bought my first HDTV in 2004

Best Buy guy convinced me that the 70 dollar HDMI cable and the 90 Monster Surge Protector were must haves

Six years later, I still feel bitchmade over that one

I got my dad a 25ft HDMI and 25ft Optical cable off Amazon for $10 total

8/22/2010 7:46:29 PM

you can get them at big lots for pretty cheap

you yourself got them for $4 each, and trying to sell them for 4x that?


to me it sounds like a ripoff to me

8/22/2010 7:51:54 PM

actually i get them for $.01 but the shipping is about $4 a piece.

8/22/2010 8:02:28 PM

Craigslist scamming

FiveBelow has them for $5 right next door to Best Buy in Crossroads; pretty amusing actually

8/22/2010 9:10:48 PM

be nice to him, he doesn't understand much.

i almost responded to slave famous. almost.

My girlfriend's dad told me that longer cables (HDMI and optical) are worse quality than short cables. I don't know if it's true, but I accept it nonetheless.

8/22/2010 9:39:01 PM

Well what i'm going to try to do is to get my roommate to sell them and split the profits. Thus the only work i would have to do would be order cables and front money. Don't you people shit on my dreams.

8/22/2010 9:51:51 PM

Dreaming is the correct word to use to describe your plan.

$6-10 profit margin?
that's dangerous thinking mantisstunna.

hey if all i have to do is buy cables and then sit and collect money why not? 6-10 per cable * 15 cables is $125. If i spilit it 50/50 which i don't plan on doing i still make $63 per bunch. Why not do it?

8/22/2010 10:12:08 PM

just fucking with you, but I'd rather not have a bunch of strangers come to my place all the time and/or having to go meet up with them

I've seen this done though. you could also get a bunch of flash drives and sell them cheap to the people that buy the HDMI cables. you can get them dirt cheap and sell them for a $5-10 profit. maybe some other cheap pc stuff too (extra memory, etc.)
