Highschool money making hack: Take note of the vending machines and what they sell. Figure out what they don't have that people want, then buy it in bulk at the store to sell at school for profit.

At my school they didn't allow soda in the vending machines, so I made bank selling cans of Coca-Cola and Mountain Dew out of my locker for $1-2 each. I remember earning enough to buy an iPod and that was pretty much all I was doing it for.

Had a classmate doing the same thing, except the admin got word and threatened him with suspension if he kept selling soda.

Dang that's lame. Once I had a teacher ask me for one and I was gonna give it to him for free, but he insisted on paying the $1 since he was just a cool dude.
