Would anyone in Denver be interested in a ticket to the quot;Get Motivated!quot; Business Seminar? -

I have happened upon an extra ticket that I won t be needing because my girlfriend will be busy that day. This ticket has a price of $225 on the front, but I m more than willing to part with it for less than that. I just want to make a November car payment and gasoline so I can keep visiting my girlfriend and drive around looking for a job. Would this actually interest anyone or am I holding on to a virtually valueless spare ticket?

I d say try posting on Craigslist in the Denver area to make your offer to a more relevent group of potential buyers.

Cashier during quick change scam...help? -

To make a long story short, I have been scammed. It is my first job at a discount store, I have been working there less than a month, and this guy bought something like a dollar and paid with $100, asked for change, I gave change, but wanted it in 20 s instead, then wanted 100 s broken..anyways, several hundred dollars were scammed. I feel horrible, I like my job and all my coworkers have been so nice to me since I started and now this happened and I feel so guilty and awful. I have been crying for a few days now and I can t seem to forget about it. I don t think I am going to be fired, but I just feel terrible. They never trained me about any of this and I didn t know about this type of scam until now.. but I don t know what to do. I feel so bad. Will I get fired? Should I quit?

Don t quit. Go to your boss tell him how you feel. The fact that you are so upset is important to him. Don t hide what happened. If he is aware, he may be able to stop this from happening again. You didn t do anything wrong. Get it out in the open. If he fires you, his loss. (I don t think he will.) You will feel better in the end.

No, don t quit. Those scammers are very good at what they do.Many years ago I worked as a cashier. We had been trained on short-change scams, but when a customer actually tried it on me, even though I m really a math person I couldn t see what was wrong. I realized something was (we had been told about this type of thing in training, remember) so hit my buzzer for a supervisor and the guy took off. But even though I m really good at math, it still took me a long time to figure out where the catch was.Your store should have made you aware in training of this situation. Don t feel guilty. You got scammed, yes, but a large percentage of cashiers would have. Let it go - if someone tries it again, stop and call a supervisor - next time you ll recognize that something is wrong.

Hun....Im sooo sorry. I would feel terrible too, its human nature to be depressed/sad after an event like that. I remember back in the day (dont laugh please) I used to play an online game and got scammed for (in the real world s equivalent) thousands of dollars. I felt terrible, started crying, etc. The good thing is I got over it soon enough. If its a big chain store like Dillard s or JCPenny s I wouldn t feel too terrible, they make enough money. Plus, as long as YOU have YOUR job still, and the money doesn t come out of your pay check, I think time will be the only thing needed to heal the wound Hope its of some inspiration!!

I have a dog product that I am trying to get picked up by pet stores. How much should I sell to stores for? -

I need to know how much I should offer my product to stores for? If customers buy it on my website it sells for $19.95. What is a reasonable price point to sell to stores for? I will probably be dropping off no more then 15-20 of my items to any given store.

Hi Carrie,It really comes down to how much it costs you to either make or buy and mark up. If you are dropping product off yourself you need to add in your time, gas, and wear and tear on your vehicle. A 15% discount off of list is a good place to start from list price for a vendor to be able to mark it back up to list and sell it. You just need to make sure that whatever discount you give that your profit margin is not compromised in the process. So, if it costs you $15 to make or buy and you want to make a 30% profit margin, that does not give you a lot of room to discount.To your Success,Fernando

1-is it even worth $19.95 at retail? have you sold a lot at that price?2-you will probably have to offer at least a 50% discount to retailers and probably wait at least 30 days to get paid - you need to know how to check the credit of a business (not free) and issue invoices and follow up on slow payers.3- can you still make a decent profit selling it for 50% off the retail price?especially if you have to lower the retail price?

Most stores want a 50% increase on the wholesale price for the retail. They need to make a profit, which includes bringing in enough to cover store costs. If the item sells at retail for $20, a wholesale cost would be in the $8-$10 range.
