    Slab of Coke cans, €9.99

    Sell cans at €1 a pop

    Profit should be €14

    It works.

    Buy a box of floppy disks.

    Fill them with porn.

    Sell them to your friends who have computers but no internet connection.

    That's what we did anyway.

    You eat with your fellow boarders, right? Lace the soups, stews and stuff like that with salt.

    Now dont kill the f*ckers, a few large spoonfuls will do the trick.

    Turn up the heating during indoor football and the like. Again, we dont want anyone collapsing here, just up the temperature a notch or two.

    Cans sold.

    Buy wholesale bars like twix etc. Sell them....Realise there's no money in selling legit stuff. Buy cigarettes. Sell them for €1 each. Realise there's money in drugs. Begin smuggling in stuff hidden up your bum. Get rich, get busted, write a book. Sorted. Your life is now mapped out. Go forth and multiply.

    Ask your auld ones. If they have enough to send you to private school, it shouldn't be a problem.

    Betting ring ... you can be the dude with the pencil and pad who shouts shi.t like 'i got 10 on the white guy'. (rabble rabble)

    we call it running numbers on the street homely.

    Are you a betting man?

    If not, become one.

    Make silly bets with lads like, I bet you a fiver we're gettin curry for dinner. And if you win happy days. Try and cheat. Find out whats on the menu early then let on your only guessing to your pals.

    I'll give you a loan of 100e.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,498 ✭✭✭ArnoldJRimmer


    Back in the day, my main source of income was fake ID's and forging bus tickets. Not sure what the demand is like for either these days


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 988 ✭✭✭1shot16

    How about you give it to me for free haha :P

    Wouldnt be able to pay you back so cant just being honest here :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,660 ✭✭✭COYVB


    I made a fortune in school on the late 90s making fake ids And selling burnt cds. Simpler times...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,500 ✭✭✭✭DEFTLEFTHAND


    Have you ever heard of the numbers racket? Set up a weekly lottery in the school, alternatively you could run card games, it's very simple to tweak the results of such activities. Loan Sharking is another endeavour you could pursue, befriend guys in your year who can use their fists, because it's a easy way to make big returns. ;)

    Organise small poker get togethers with friends, small buy in's of €1-€5, get good and it'd be handy money

    If you can't find out on your own while being connected to the internet you're probably not sharp enough to do it and certainly not sharp enough to get away with it.

    You're certainly no Delboy Trotter. If your friends want cigarettes then go to Moore Street or somewhere and buy a few cartons for €50 each. Sell them off to your friends for a tenner a packet and tell them you are making a 10% profit when in reality you are making a 100% profit. You won't need ID to buy black market cigarettes either.

    iConnect card won't be accepted anywhere, or at least it shouldn't be.

    But you made 200% profit!

    Anyways I shouldn't be encouraging a youngster to break the law. You're only looking for €20 a week, wash four cars.

    You sold them for 45 euro a box, less than half the retail price here? What are they teaching kids these days in business class, it doesn't matter what you paid for something / what matters is what people will pay you.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 160 ✭✭simon0brien


    The responding posts illustrate how terribly sad ppl on this websire are :P

    Only Passports, Garda Age Cards and Driving Licenses are accepted when buying alcohol or cigarettes.

    Best bet is to wait until you grow up before commiting crimes. At least then you can be tried as an adult.

    Agreed, OP you need to go down the alternative route and invest in a fake moustache with glasses. Not just the cheap joke shop ones, I'm talking the real deal here. Like this one http://3.s3.envato.com/files/6206460/Disguise%202011%202p.jpg

    Work on a fake accent too, reminisce with the shop keeper about Dublin in the 1960's, make reference to things like Nelsons pillar, buy a copy of "Irelands own" with your cigarettes

    Fags, fake id and alcohol
    Always a demand for them in schools.
    All reasonably easy to do with very little effort.

    The thing is not getting caught especially with the ID's

    It was a lighthearted attempt at humour. Get the stick out of your arse.
