eBay Green: Just like Colonel Sanders!

by Amanda Miller
May 3rd 2008 @ 11:19AM


This week's eBay find reminds average U.S. citizens that they are capitalist. Why not combine recycling with earning money, they ask? In fact, they recommend their guidebook to profiting by recycling to a diverse range of characters.

According to them, this product might work for you, whether you're in High School and want to make serious cash without a greasy hamburger job, or whether you're 66 and want to make a fresh start (just like Colonel Sanders!).

Now, I'd like to see the high school student who thinks "man, if only I liked flipping burgers, I could make serious cash!"

Wealthy Home Business also asks you what this $6.85 guide might be worth to you (and keep in mind, you can resell the guide!). Hundreds? Thousands? MILLIONS!?!

From what I can tell, you'd be traipsing around your neighborhood, knocking on people's doors and asking for their old newspapers, then taking them for recycling and cashing in. If you're worried about the odd shotgun-wielding possessive home-owner, you might want to take advantage of the marketing and internet marketing sections.

For all of the amusement I found in this auction, I do think that for a job on the weekends for a teenager who could get out, get some exercise, and still have time for homework and a social life, it might not be too bad. Maybe the truly entrepreneurial teens can step it up and collect soda cans too!
