You'll recognize me on your next CO flight:
I'll be selling the "free" alcohol I got from the f/a when someone's luggage fell out of the overhead and bonked me on the head;
My armrest space;
The pillows and blankets CO "gave" me before they took them out of the coach cabin; and
of course the spare bananas from my breakfast (and some from the cart that those mean ole' f/a's weren't monetizing themselves).

Yo, Mike -- just so ya know, I've got the monopoly on the headset for sale thing. AND, I undercut you. I sell 'em for $1.50 -- half price.
Just don't come near my territory, biatch.
Now that you've gone and brought this out in the open I think you've blown the whole operation... thanks a LOT! Airfare Watchdog has nuthin' on you!

Get a Presidents Club membership, a funnel, and some empty water bottles.
[Then hang out at the gates for the New Orleans and Las Vegas flights on a Friday afternoon with your freshly filled "to go" cups in hand.

But wait, you can sell more...
I carry my own headphones with me. When I get an upgrade on a flight without direct TV i would like to sell my continental supplied headphones to the Y class passengers. Do you think i would have a problem with the flight attendants if i walk down the isle and try to sell my headphones and accept cash for them in the 'cash less' cabins?

These things retail for around $1.50 each, and I couldn't get anybody to take one. It was absolutely incredible.

Speaking of USAToday, there was one in front of the door of the room across the hall from me in the hotel. I’m starting the bids at 75 cents.

A couple years ago, I picked up a box of gourmet doughnuts on the way to the airport (I wanted a few for the plane ride, and they had a "get a dozen for the price of a half dozen" deal) to go visit family. I ate three of them. I ended up giving the rest to family. Why? Because I couldn't give away these doughnuts.

Unlike in many parts of the world Americans are taught from a young age to not accept food from strangers for safety reasons. If you are in many parts of Asia and offer a stranger a piece of gum while sitting next to them most will take it, do that to an American and 99% will kindly refuse.

As a fat guy, I would like to sell the opportunity to not sit next to me. I will use the proceeds to fund my F purchases.

Take a few handfulls?..The sign on the plane says "Take One" Im sure if the FA at the door saw you take a few handfulls..she/he would have a problem with it and youd be writing a letter about how you were shamed for helping yourself to more than what was offered..@:-)
