It certainly can be. I have an option on a house right now, (that Gordon knows about). I paid $10.00 for the option. I should net $5,000USD or more depending on how it sells. What's that? A 500 times return? Not bad, eh?

Default I don't think Gordon is

talking about Options.

I think it's more like what happened to me yesterday...

A guy calls needing to get rid of 52 five-gallon pails of fire-retard paint and insulation paint and wants to know how much I will charge him to take it off his hands.

I tell him I'll call him back in a few minutes.

I make a quick couple of phone calls - finding out who can take it off of my hands - then call him back and tell him my Removal Fee.

I didn't Option the paint. I took it off his hands once I knew who would take it off my hands - I sold it before I had it.

That is what, I believe, Gordon is talking about.

It is pretty well the same transaction as Joe Karbo talks about on page 83 in Lazy Man's Way To Riches - find a buyer BEFORE mentioning price to the person who wants to get rid of their stuff. Only in my example, I made money on both ends.

Default Re: I don't think Gordon is

Hey Michael: I know Gordon wasn't talking about options specifically but options can come in handy with this type of chatteling. Case in point. Several years ago I went to a clients office (I'm a programmer) and the client had an old DEC midrange computer sitting in the corner. I asked them if they wanted to sell it and they said yes... They threw out a price and I told I would get back to them. Well they said they had "buyers" looking at it. Well I thought I could make a couple of hundred on it and I gave them a check for $25.00 to hold it and give me the option to buy or not. Then I took pictures and got all the specs on it and went looking for a buyer. Found someone who was interested but wanted to "see" the computer. Well I took the prospective buyer over to take a look see. After we left the "buyer" said he would call me the next day. WELL my client called that afternoon and the "buyer" had contacted them directly to purchase the system. My client told them that I had an "option" to buy and I had first dibs. Anyway the guy finally bought it thru me but if I did not have that "option" in place I would have lost the sale. So there may be cases where an "option" would CYA!
