HOW TO GET A USED CAR CHEAPER

>find car you like for privet sale (craigslist, public notice, w/e)
>arrange to view car
>go with a friend
>ask if it's okay if you and friend take car for a quick test drive
ONLY WORKS IF SELLER DOES NOT GO WITH YOU
>You and friend get in car
>drive away
>pull over in discreet location
>pop hood
>loosen coil lead or if you've got the tools and time remove a spark plug
>drive car back to seller
>explain that something's wrong with car
>seller may want to drive to see what you're talking about
>tell seller that you're really in love with the car and want to make an offer
>but you're concerned about this mysterious engine issue
>give low ball price
>negotiate a little until deal
>drive car away, reconnect coil/install spark plug
>???
>Profit
This works well with coupes and other two seaters but can also work with other cars as long as the seller doesn't come along.

Do you know what works better.

Having cash with you, show them that fat wad and just say you will pay 2k below the asking price.

They can never resist that wad of cash.

oh so it doesn't work

Around 8 years ago, I use to scam people on GaiaOnline. I used a website called FormAssembly to help me setup fake "Gold/Item generator" pages. Phishing for passwords was quite easy.
> Username: MOD [insert name]
> Delete character so it's a silhouette
> Set profile page to private
> Use good grammar and buzzwords (e.g. "macro", "botting", "program", etc.)

I made 30 million virtual gold this way, and 1 million was going for $1 USD back then.

> Yes I jerked off to female avatars.

>>3324937
nice, you made 30 bucks

Start working at the bank. Doesn't matter the position, okay, just so long as you get in there, all right? Then you just go there every day, do the work, gain their trust until you get them in the palm of our hand. So how you get the money? That's the beauty of it, bro. They deposit the money into your bank account, week after week, month after month. They're not even gonna know they're being robbed. And then 20 or 30 years later, you walk out the front door like nothing even happened.

I always test drive alone and always send potential buyers out with my car alone.
Some people want you to leave your license and others don't ask for anything. Sometimes they ask me to come with them if they don't know the area.
Nobody needs someone looking over their shoulder while they drive it hard and push literally every button in the car.
This scam is still dumb.

Literally every dealership and private saler will let you drive it alone.

I've only known one person who had their car stolen with this, and surprise surprise, the buyer was a nigger.

Set up a mining rig in the trunk of your car. Drive around to various businesses and plug into power outlets you find. Find new location if you're spotted

when i was selling adderall as a drug dealer i would get these 30mg XR capsules and i would open them up and take half the beads out of them then close them.

selling weed i would also short the bag at least .5 grams

insurance fraud. I never report wrecks until it's a wreck caused by someone else i can sue. Then i blame all the old damage from the one event

renting from walmart. I have bought a pedal bike and used it for a week then returned it to walmart at least 15 times. same with air mattresses (though they are getting smart on that)

fill up my car with 15.15 USD of gas then doing it again then call a month later saying they double charged me

>>3326261
>insurance fraud.

dude chill

>>3326224
You just rewire the power from the cars charging port from the battery to the mining rig, or just power the rig via the battery.
get a hybrid so you can drive away and find a new park using gas.

I live in Canada so we have block heaters on our cars. Feed power cable from mining rig out the front of the car. Plug in "block heater". Literally no one will suspect you. Though your idea is good too. Electric cars aren't big here yet, so these parking spaces you speak of are foreign to me. But makes sense.

I bought $200 of DGB and sold it at $160.

1) Back in the day we were degenerate, broke college kids. Found ipids, textbooks, expensive sunglasses, etc. One night we followed a car into a gated community and split up on solo missions. I hit the fucking jackpot. Inside of a brand spanking new convertible two seater Mercedes I copped me a manilla envelope from the glove box. Got a diamond encrusted armani watch and what turned out to be $4,000 in hundred dollar bills. Didn't tell any of my friends but they didn't ask or care when I picked up a massive bar tab the following weekend.

2) I used to work in the food business. Would accept counterfeit money and give back real change and split the profits later.

3) Had a good friend who ws a well-trusted employee at the casino. He would selectively pay me out on losing hands. Could only do this once in a blue moon to go undetected.

4) Dressed up as a homeless person, brought my acoustic, and set up camp in the bustling area of a wealthy town for a weekend. Made some friends and nearly $500.

That was years ago and now I'm a highly respected career man in a job that allows me to put my creative fuckery to work in a legal setting with significantly higher gains.

But wouldnt your wicket still be $20 short? Might as well have just stolen $20..

When I was a teenager, I used to dress up in my Sunday clothes, go to a different neighborhood, and knock on doors asking people for money for some kind of made up bs. When I had accumulated $40, I would buy an oz of some shitty mexican brick weed. Times were simpler back then.

You're probably long gone from this thread, but basically it's when a group of 2 or 3 people confuse a cashier into giving them more money.

In my case it was a team of 3. I was running a small tobacco shop. All 3 came in together, 2 guys and a girl, and one guy picked up a $7.99 or so bag of tobacco and brought it to the counter. He handed me a $10 bill. After I placed the money in the drawer and started to cash him out, guy #2 distracted me with questions about some other product. Almost at the same time the girl pulled out a dollar and asked for 4 quarters.

I answered the dudes questions, gave the girl the 4 quarters, and gave the initial guy his change of $1.50 or whatever - and then he claimed he gave me a $20, not a $10.

Since I'd already put the cash in the drawer I really had no way of proving otherwise, and although I could've sworn he gave me a $10 bill I figured I just fucked up when they all kinda hounded me at once. And that's what they play at.

When I counted out my drawer at the end of the day, it was indeed $10 short.

Lesson #1 in retail: Always put the customers money ON TOP of the register until the sale is completed and they've been given their change.

Raise chickens, right. Eggs come out their arse. And iffin they ain't laying anything, the fuckers are MADE of chicken. Slaughter the little bastards and sell them cleaned for a profit. You can't lose.

Seeds. You buy these for practically nothing. Accidentally get some water on them and feed them after midnight, and BAM! You get produce that chumps will buy at top dollar. Mum's the word.

Cows - these retarded creatures actually leak milk when you squeeze their tits. Filter it, bottle it up, idiots will buy this crap! It stops milking, you take it to a slaughterhouse and deep freeze it for, wait for it, faurkin BEEF! Who'da thunk? You can sell that for God knows how much.

This one's tricky. I bought a portion of a company at a price, dont remember exactly but lets say $500. I waited a week or and sold the same portion to another guy for $510! Idiots...
