kevcar0603 Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Was just wondering if anyoneone has gotten tickets for items and sold them to people in the back of the line for a "service fee" and how much did they get for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrayZMama80 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Nope.. I've never sold one..thought about giving one to someone last year but, then I remembered why I was getting it and decided against it. Especially since they got there like an hour after the store opened and expected to get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchandalisha Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 I am trying to talk my husband into standing at Best Buy and atleast purchase one of the computers and try to sell it OR just sell the ticket itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cru Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 I am trying to talk my husband into standing at Best Buy and atleast purchase one of the computers and try to sell it OR just sell the ticket itself. I was 5th in line last year at CC and was too dumb to get tickets for every item! Of course about 5 minutes before the store opened and 1000+ people in line all wanting those items I could of made some cash. One guy walking to get in line offered me $50 for my laptop ticket. I don't think I'll actively go down the line selling the tickets cuz it might result in some violence, but if people approached me for them I would probably sell them. Or I might just see a nice person in the store and give them the ticket as a nice jesture and make their holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xslicricx Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 I saw a lady last year at CC get offered $150 straight up for her laptop ticket and took it. And this was while someone else was going to the car to get $100 to pay her with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jellybean051901 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 When the furbys were the "hot" item, we were offered $50 for our ticket. After standing in the cold for all that time, it wasn't worth it. Then last year someone offered us money to get them a laptop. Again, after standing in line freezing to death it wasn't worth it.

elena_398 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 No never have. I've sold the actual item, but no markup. My parents bought an item that I did also. Didn't realize they were at another store buying the same thing. They called me on my cell so I went to the back of the KB Toys line a couple of years ago and heard a lady talking on the phone about the item being sold out already. She seemed upset so I offered it to her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motoXmom Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 I've never sold them. If I get a ticket and change my mind I've given them away. Sometimes to the next person in line that didn't get one or someone I've been chatting with and know they need more than one for their 2 kids. Hmm maybe I should sell them! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ladakn99 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Your reward for waiting in line... im gona get one of those HP laptop Tickets at BB and sell it off for probally $150 (that means a $40 E-Machine Desktop for me.) and i'll tell my friends to pick up those 32" LCD TV Cupons and sell those off for like $200 a peace, bc they want the laptop... You waited all night in that freezing weather...(It's warm down here in FL.) you deserve to get paid, and paid BIG!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christi Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Last year we waited out side of BB for 5 hours in the cold and got two tickes for the $149 computer. We ended up giving the second one away to some random stranger who was looking but was too far back in the line. It never dawned on me to sell it.

shay_n_sc Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 I never sold them, usually walk around the store and decide if I want the items and if not, then I pass it to whoever is near. I never thought about selling them but hey, if someone is willing to pay - then I am open to offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
