How much money could you make with $1,000?

In September or October I bought 130 pmags for $1300.00, my wife couldn't understand why. Just after Sandy Hook I took 30 of them and sold them on arms list for $1300.00 just so I'd be sitting even at that point. In February an opportunity popped up and I needed some cash so I took the remaining 100 of them to a friend who owns a gun store and sold them to him for $3000.00. I know he took them to the gunshow that weekend and made even more cash.

I figured it wasn't bad turning $1300 into $4300 in just about 4 months. Now my wifes pissed I didn't buy more.

I'd take the $1000 buy some wood and a lathe, some reeds and make duck calls. End up with a reality show, millions of dollars and grow a sweet beard.

My beard comes in patchy.

The Pmag thing was a good venture, but that seems to be too late to join now. Keep up the ideas. So far it still looks like a tax lien will be the next step.

Stu, on serious note.. think about taking some basic 3D CAD classes and buy a 3d printer. It's getting big!!!

$1,000 is not a large sum of money, but if you were given $1,000 with the express instruction to turn it into as much money as possible, what would you do with it?

The same way that Ben Bernanke is making money. Buy a good printing press.

And just manufacture doodads? Wouldn't they have to be my own design to avoid copyright issues?

Or ready to print royalty free design, or self-modified royalty free design. One of the youngest investors in our group is making his money by custom printing iphone cases (corporate logo etc) in his basement - doing 200-300 cases per week among other product lines. The dimension is readily available to download. He simply add the 3d design on the case and print them out.

What is the cost of the machine and the materials?
