You can sell land on the moon. Apparently one guy became a millionaire doing that. I noticed there are tonnes of websites now that do it though.

Based on this thread, "live off interest" is probably code for "loansharking"

Isn't this the perfect thread for you to promote your blog though?

Any thoughts on some really high margin, ethically questionable schemes to legally bilk people out of their money?

This is a weak effort as you latest thread offering. I was looking forward to the 3M Post-It debate.

So far my blog has made all of $0.40 from ads, so I don't think it's much of a get rich quick scheme. Maybe I should take up loansharking. 
And investing in undervalued small caps isn't really a get rich quick plan, more of a "get rich through compounding over decades plan". Or immoral, actually.

I think you think I start threads to stir up trouble, when in fact I start threads on topics that I want to discuss. The entertainment value you get out of them is not something I consider.
But back it up for just a second here. Have you also noticed the adhesive on the latest packs of post-it notes are way too strong? When I tear one off the glue is so strong it actually curls the paper. And when I stick it on another piece of paper it can even rip the paper. Maybe it was a one-off batch I bought, but they have been terrible for me all summer.

Ya, I'm with you. I know how it works as I do much the same thing, but figured it was an opportunity!

If this thread has taught me anything, it's that you should never give up an opportunity.

Ezcarsandtrucks.com seems to be a money making venture maybe something like that will work.

So true story...
After making a few hundred reselling UFC tickets my buddy and I decided we would get some for UFC in Vancouver (ya know, the one where Lesner was supposed to fight and then withdrew?).
Anyhow purchased about $2800 (2 X $600 and 4 X $400 ) worth of tickets...ended up donating 4 to Ronald Mcdonald House and also going to the fights cause we couldn't sell the damn things! Worst money making idea EVER! The real b*tch was that as we sat in the $600 seats staring up at the screen because you couldn't see anything anyhow we look to the left and right across the aisle, 2 rows down are the seats that I donated.
My ticket "reselling" days are over
