Buying for £20 and selling at £40 is 50% profit.
Where did you learn maths?

He's got a mate who owns a PS2 and Xbox, and came round our house the other day excitedly saying he was getting a GameCube off his friend's dad who has 'connections with the wholesalers' for £20. Of course, I was extremely sceptical - but he wouldn't have a bar of it.
They're now planning to buy a fair few and sell them for around £40 at 100% profit on eBay.
It was an 'unaimed nod!'
So where is he getting them from them?
I was agreeing with you; anyone falling for this so easily is a cetain 'pillock'. I try to tell him things like this, but he and his friends are so wrapped up in the fact that they could make hundreds of pounds that he just won't listen. I've come to the conclusion that he can learn from this himself.
The fact that they're stolen or are you trying to back him up too?
He also happens to be my brother.
All it's gonna take is someone from SR to forward the details of this message and J-42 onto the police and he could get into big trouble.
Of course the'd have to prove it but if he tries to carry on selling consoles on a site that sells LEGAL ones, I wouldn't be surprised if someone just forwarded his details and a copy of this message on.
