I think I finally figured out how stupid people become millionaires… and it all starts with humble beginnings on Craig’s List.
The formula is quite simple; practically any idiot can do it.
Step 1: You must value Ikea furniture as a powerhouse in houseware furnishings; a reputable “name brand” if you will. To do this you must look past the particle-ness and embrace it in a class such as Bassett or Ethan Allen.
Step 2: After flunking out of college you realize that you can’t afford to live in San Diego, even with 4 roommates in a 1-bd apartment. Before moving back home to live with your parents you decide to hawk all your shit so you can afford one last hurrah with all your old-money friends (who will never have to “try” in life).
Step 3: You post all of your old Ikea crap on Craig’s List, and you peddle that shit like it’s ice cream in the Sahara. You talk it up like nobody’s business and ask for 10% more than it originally cost you.
Step 4: An idiot (another idiot, not you) finds your post and thinks to himself how great it would be to own an Ikea “piece”.
…are you catching my drift here? I wont bore you with the gritty details of how the deal is closed… or how to guilt your suitor into buying your crap by posting a crappy digital picture on Craig’s List and then making sure you only respond to those inquiries from suckers who live more than a half-hour drive away… or how, by repeating this strategy over and over you can not only afford to stay in San Diego, but eventually, you too can become a shithead millionaire, just like your no-try friends in college.
...no, I'm not talking about the world's longest line of nose candy.
Many things in this world are uncertain, but this weekend there will be two things you can count on:
1) Mammoth Mountain will have a 15-ft base
2) I'll be there with sticks strapped to my feet and a smile tattooed to my face
