$100 to $200
 
Because things have been a bit slow at sowpub - a question to help spark a few good discussions...

What would you do to turn $100 into $200 in the shortest time possible?

(Or even better - what have you done in the past to turn $100 into $200 within a day or 2?)

Conditions of answering the question:
* The idea should be entrepreneurial in nature. No get a job that pays $20 an hour.
* Lets discuss ideas that actually requires spending $100 if we can.
* Hopefully, your idea can be implemented by others with ease too. And doesn't require a lot of specialized knowledge / expertise.
* A couple of people will answer "chattel." If you do - please suggest what to buy for $100 that could be sold for $200... and give details.

A Father Really did Turn $100 into $200 for his son...
 
Dear Ankesh,

Thanks.

Good question.

I was at a Bootcamp. Met a guy who told me an idea he gave his son instead of paying him an allowance.

I - Go to a Subway shop that is a short walk from a busy road or RR or Taxi Stand. Or a Bus Line.

II - You only "Work" 2 hrs a day.

III - You ask the subway folks what their top 2 BEST SELLING Subs are. Then you fill a tray.

IV - Then you go out an sell them for 1.00 MORE to business office workers.

Keep making trips back and forth until LUNCH is over.

Actually.

He reports his kids were able to turn 10.00 into 500.00 a day this way.

Thanks,
Glenn Osborn
