nubbinator's guide to finding and buying Clacks and Bros.

[Joey Quinn]

Im stuck at step 3, any tips?

Well that's because you're only offering people $40 and a handy j.  You got to up your game, flash some cash and PM repeatedly.

My handy js are really good. They are worth at least tree fiddy.

judging by the smileys...confirmed used more than hands

[HPE1000]

Can confirm. PMing on a daily basis is the secret to getting someone to sell/trade you something they don't want to. Be sure to offer them trades/deals where you are clearly going to be on the winning side of the trade. Doesn't matter if they say they won't accept any trades or sell it, just keep messaging them.

But which step do I get the profit?

That would be in the forthcoming "nubbinator's guide to flipping Clacks and Bros for maximum profit".

Oh silly me. Can't wait for that guide! I find it really hard to flip Clacks for profit since no one ever wants to them buy for more than retail

It can be tough, but with my patented 5 step process, it becomes dramatically simpler.

Here's a preview of Step 1:

Step 1:
Have a life crisis.  This can be real or imagined, vague or specific, as long as it compels sympathy.  When you start your sale, always emphasize that something is happening in your life.  It could be you wrecked your motorcycle, need money for school because your parents disowned you, your special needs half niece you adopted when her mom was sent to prison and dad was killed needs money to help treat her terminal bovine cancer, and so on.  The sadder and depressing it is or the more dramatic you can make the situation appear, the better.

When in doubt: LAW SCHOOL

Nah Hoff, that's one of them, but where the student truly became the master of my forthcoming tome was in this thread and this thread.  It is where they learned to throw off the cares of others, maximize profit while stepping on those who helped them, attempt to maximize sympathy, while also seeking to score others are discount prices.  It is threads like that that spurned threads like this that sadly made it more difficult to maximize profit in here.

Ahh, yes.  Perhaps my post was a bit naive.  I posted the genesis of the Law School saga, but it only got more deep and more intricate from there.

Auctioning a cap you don't even own yet?  YES.  Let's do that!

Classifieds were certainly a much different place back then...

haha thanks guys.  my favorite is still the rarar mr friday incident.

Sauce and pasta.  Beloved rarar is the source for the rule in my forthcoming guide to do all auctions by PM before it's in hand and only do public auctions after it's in hand.  After all, must maximize profit without repercussions.

Wow, what a douche move on rarar's part.

[nubbinator]

No, he's an inspiration for all to aspire to.  We just must learn from his mistakes and find new ways to maximize profit while minimizing jimmies.

Thats golden

I don't want the cap as much as the people sending me offers for $250+ for it, so I'm giving them the opportunity to get one if the want it. Feel what you want but I swear my intentions are not for profits.

**** dawg, if you dont care about profits I suggest a giveaway. If you got it for retail price (like $20?) its not really a bigger loss than any of the caps Ive given away

I need step5

[Belfong]

I need step5

You have Step 1-4?

[nubbinator]

I need step5

You have Step 1-4?

You forget the addendum to Steps 1-4.  If you decide you have to own all the Clacks and Bros you slowly flip steps one and two so it looks like this:

Step 1:
Don't be poor.

Step 2:
Be rich.

Step 3:
Offer lots of money for them in open, by PM, and on eBay.  If you go the PM route, make sure to PM everyone who had ever posted pictures of them, but especially seconds after they post pics.

Step 4:
Own lots of Clacks and Bros.

Addendum:
If you decide you must own every Clack and/or Bro, Steps 1 and 2 will reverse themselves which, historically has led to the following steps:

Step 1:
Don't be rich

Step 2:
Be poor

Step 3:
Have a life crisis.  The worse it sounds or more mysterious it is the better.

Step 4:
Auction off your collection or sell for a minimum of 2-3x what you paid for each.

Step 5:
Have lots of money.
