Oh dear, the benefit scroungers are scared!

I have been there, I have sat in Job Centre on my £60 a week listening to chav's with iPhone 5's talking about they need more money to go out more, talking about how much coke they sold that week. I know people who have a huge house, 3 cars, all the clothes they need, exploiting disability benefit for things like a bad back etc who have nothing wrong with them.

I have been told my dyspraxia + autism is not a disability and then sent to remploy, a disability agency, who wanted me to do 37 hours a week in a factory making goods for them for nothing.

Then when I started my limited company, Remploy had the cheek to send me a letter stating I have to pay them a percentage because they take a cut of all remploy clients paychecks, normally from their employer.

I tried to use the system as it is meant to be used and got the bare minimum and screwed over, told my disabilities were not disabilities, and then sent off to be used because I have the same disabiltiies and yet everywhere around me people are abusing it and getting away with it. I had to go in 3x a week and these people go in twice a year.

SO don't sit and tell me I know nothing and that I haven't been there and that I lack empathy, as I have experienced it myself!

Honestly I'd like to be serious for a second - congratulations. You put your mind to something and assuming that you're not making it all up you're being successful. You don't need to prove anything one way or another to people on the internet, so I will assume that the business is working out and congratulate you.

But please try not to be such a dick about it.

But then your lack of empathy is here in this thread for all to see.
I was a little angry with you and your thread title at first but I just can't help feeling sorry for you now. Sad.

Thanks :)
 
This thread has been mildly entertaining browsing every now and then in my sleep deprived state, sure is up there with the best! Genuine lol at the Only Fools and Horses image and Audi comments.

Having seen where the stuff you'd resell on comes from I tip my Fedora to anyone who can make a substantial living from it (if actually true). It's all just customer returned junk lobbed on a pallet and sold as is. Sometimes it's tested, other times it's a lucky dip. Funny enough disc based media is about the only thing worth anything and worth selling on. If you've got the time to sort it then it could work out.
 
This thread seems to have developed a sort of slow motion car crash fascination.

Presumably it's well past the point where it can be claimed this was all one big troll?

And yet you conveniently overlook that in your ludicrously inaccurate ideas about how the benefits system works. Your own experience of it should have left you less spectacularly ignorant, but you seem to be unwilling or unable to learn.

So you're making some money at the moment as a low-level reseller of tat, backed up by your mother. Without her, you'd still be on benefits. Many people don't have that advantage.

You claim you're being ripped off an a huge scale by your customers, including rich people (which you should consider to be OK because you only consider fraud wrong if it's done by poor people) and that explains why the publically available figures for your business show your income to be only several thousand a year. Or is that a sign of successful tax evasion? Plenty of money but an apparent income too low to pay any tax at all would be a sign of perfect tax evasion. Use the euphemism "avoidance" if you like - it means the same thing.
 
I have been in the gutter I know! :(

Now am not, but i aint waving my manhood or wallet around to proove anyone can do it? :mad:

Some people are just not that way inclined, not their fault just thats the way it is with a lot of people. :confused:

Do not diss people who are not as fortunate as you, just accept that is the way it is! ;)

Everyone scams, and if you dont then you wont win! :D

Most of it is new and graded as such. I give all the used unmarked stock away to charity, I have about 500 items ready to take next week.

I had a good run on a pallet of brand new, sealed Moshi Monster CD's which were a good sell.

Honestly most of the things I sell on Amazon are to build my brand; selling in bulk B2B is where the real profit is to be made.

I keep saying my Mother doesn't pay for it all but you guys choose not to believe that, that's fine. Want to know where the money comes from? I had paid off all of my student overdrafts, and I used them as graduate overdrafts to pay for my end of the stock. Paid off all but one of them now :) I also have £15k in an account to buy a car with.

Where are the publically available figures for my business, I have not submitted accounts yet, I don't need to until May?

The important thing is I know have enough money to start my second venture, which is looking like a very good one, time will tell ofcourse :)

He pretended to be self-made, started implying other individual forum members are lazy for not starting up a business, got smug, started posting pictures of his aviators saying his going to be a millionaire soon - posting sales data.

Turns out he runs a CD/book resale business from his moms house who put half into the start-up - while still claiming to have had no help (in summary).

1st rule of business........

Dont get cocky! anything can happen and usually does. :cool:

2nd rule

Dont tell people what you doing you amature! :rolleyes:

Running a business is a strange thing, you dont ever really get time off or stop. :(

Your attitude is because you are young, I am in favour of you going for it, high 5! But dont expect everyone to do what your doing! :confused:

Because if you really think about it! If they did what you are doing you would have untold competition against you therefore you would loose sales! :rolleyes:

I might do what you are doing just for ***** and giggles! :D

A bit of competiton never harmed anyone right! :rolleyes:
