6. The toy every kid wants and you can't find- three people trampled trying |

20. I hear - these people will spend ten hours getting their garage ready, |
|
pricing items, and yada yada yada, and then another 8 hours for at least one day, probably 16 hours over two days hanging out in the garage selling the shit to the people, all to show a $100 maximum profit, probably much less.
My time is worth a hell of a lot more than that.
