How much money can you make selling gum at school?

Answer 1

It depends on how much you sell, how much you can sell it for and how much you can buy it for. In the ideal scenario, all the gum you got would be free (parents bought it or you stole it, not recomending stealing it though) and you would sell if per peice of gum, that way you make more money per peice. Now I don't know who you are selling it to, but I will sell gum 20 cents a peice, it costs me 10 cents a peice to buy it at the gas station (a pack of 14 costs 138) so each full pack I sold would make 1.40 profit, or 100% profit. You shouldn't buy gum in bulk (even though you can get better deals on it) until you know there are lots of people that will buy it and you will be able to sell it all. For a short answer to your question, I would expect you to make about a couple of dollars the first week, once everyone knows you sell gum you should be able to make more than that depending on how big your school is. It isn't where the "big money" is but its a lot of fun and can get you a few extra bucks.
