Sorry, I just don’t consider any sort of scammer (Nigerian or otherwise) an actual organism… but they are evolving none-the-less. Not too long ago I reported about just another sad attempt of someone trying to scam me out of something on Craigslist. It was a quite sad and pathetic attempt (to me) – though I feel like there are many that would likely follow through with it and lose out… Anyway, I was again the [...]

The Life of Me
Here’s how I just made an extra $35 from nothing in one day… Someone was selling a new iPod nano on Criagslist for much less than new price.

I can usually figure out what will sell, for how much, and how fast. So how do you flip something and make [...]
