Title: I came up with an interesting business model. Post by: Atlas on September 23, 2012, 12:35:46 AM I place $20 in a box.
So do you. Now the box contains $40, and we both know it. I sell the box to you for $30. And we both walk away with a $10 profit. Title: Re: I came up with an interesting business model.

Post by: Foxpup on September 23, 2012, 05:41:40 AM I don't get it. If I pay $50 for a box containing $40, and you get paid $30 to put $20 in a box, how is that any different from me just giving you $10? Are people really stupid enough to not realise that? Oh, wait, I just got it. :)
