Fuck it X, you only live once. Your young, and got no kids depending on you. Do Yo Thang Nigga.

Collapse of Elite XC (kimbo/Seth/$kala)

That's a good one. There are several MMA "phenomena" of the last decade that weren't that significant from the standpoint of the serious MMA geek, but were huge with the more causal crowd:

In the US, there was Kimbo Slice, Gina Carano, and Herschel Walker's MMA foray.

In Japan, there was Bob Sapp, and the New Year's Eve fight tradition.

Re: Top MMA Events of the Decade?

I've been in your situation and pulled through it. My biggest advice is to save $ wherever you can. I clipped coupons from the Sunday paper, sold all my unnecessary shit on Craigslist, etc. I even had a side hustle where I found stuff on sale online, and resold them on ebay/craigslist for a profit.

I don't know your situation, but an option could be to move to a cheaper country. Your money goes a lot farther in a place like Thailand, plus a bunch of you guys seem like the type to like ladyboys haha

You have a lot of free time, use it to invest in yourself. Read, learn, grow and become a stronger man from this situation.

Charles Negro:

Thanks for the thoughts. I'm actually trying to figure out how to use eBay to pick up some extra cash. The biggest problem is that I just rarely see anything for sale that I could turn around and sell for a profit. You should teach me your secrets.

As for Thailand, well, I don't think living abroad suits me. I spent 2 months in Guatemala's nicest city (Antigua) and after about 2 weeks I was ready to come home. Those places are inexpensive for a reason. And even beyond that, I have to say that at the end of the day I'm just too accustomed to American culture.

Alright I'm in Christmas spirit. This is a great way for anyone to make some extra cash and is relatively risk free if you're not a dumbass. Do me a favor and leave it here in the forums.

The concept is simple, I buy something that is very cheap on sale, and I resell the same item at a higher price on eBay or Craigslist.

The best items are electronics: Computers, Laptops, Monitors, Cameras, etc. They're always on sale and very easy to resell.

First thing is where do you find sales?

The key is to check CONSTANTLY like every 30 minutes. A lot of the sick deals I've gotten are price mistakes online, or maybe clearance sales. So you see something's on sale, first thing you gotta do is go to ebay and search for the item and see what it has been sold for recently. You also have to add in paypal, ebay, fees, shipping, etc. and then calculate if the profit is worth it.

Example of a shit deal:
Canon camera on sale for $200. It sold for $250 on eBay last week. You charge shipping so it cancels out. After ebay/paypal fees you're left with $10 profit. This is a lot of work for $10.

Example of a good deal:
Dell computer and 20" monitor selling for $300. I see the combination sold on eBay for $300 last week. However, instead of selling on eBay I sell on craigslist. I know I can sell the computer for $300 and the monitor for $150. Since I do the deal in person, there's no ebay or paypal fees. Profit is $150.

However I'm very PATIENT and only look for these hot deals. I order like 10 of those dell computer/monitors, and after its all sold I clear about $1500 profit in theory.

The key is I'm trying to sell all of these within the next 30 days, because if it doesn't I can just send it back to Dell. Risk free.

Another example of a good deal I did in the past. I remember Office depot was having a clearance on a printer. Shit was worth $150 on ebay, they were getting rid of it for $50 in stores. I hopped in my car and drove to every fucking Office depot in Atlanta and bought all the printers I could find. $1k profit for like 5 hours of work. Not bad for a college student?

The more you do this, the better you get because you start to recognize the value of items and what makes money and what doesn't.

But anyways that's the gist. I haven't done this in a few years but in theory it should still work. Good luck

Edit bonus secret:

I hate driving to meet someone on Craigslist. So lets say me and you are going to do a deal, well the proper etiquette is for us to meet halfway. So lets say you're in Tennessee, I'm in Georgia. For us to meet you'd have to drive an hour, and I'd drive an hour and we'd meet at the border. That's the fair thing to do.

The negro thing to do is "Hey you're in Tennessee? I actually live in Florida. We can meet halfway in Atlanta, Georgia". So what happens is you drive 2 hours (thinking I'm driving two hours as well from Florida) when in actually we're meeting at a Starbucks 5 minutes away from my house.

Think the Negro thing to do is to just rob them and take their monies

Re: Top MMA Events of the Decade?

Mr. Negro:

Thank you so much for that extremely insightful post. I will definitely start looking into that. Like I said, I've been trying to figure out how to work reselling shit into my monthly income for a while. I'll start testing the shit out. One problem for me is going to be that I don't really have any start up capital to make the initial purchases. But maybe I can figure something out there.

And LOL at that "bonus secret."

In a twist of fate, it looks like I'm actually going to be working on Part II of this piece, which deals with MMA fighters who are going to be a force in the decade to come.

I need 10 names, and why. They can be established fighters like GSP, but they don't need to be on the tail end of their career (like Fedor).

What's everyone's thoughts?
