I will have a hat with an American Flag and be offering the headphones for $2 and the 2 prong adapters for 50 cents, will also have on a shirt that says 'exact change appreciated'.

A well done troll to bring out the flamers and make them look like the morons they are, as well as poke fun at airline nickel and diming.
I'm selling the upgrade. I think you can, even if CO is selling the F cabin full for $69 a seat. Your target market are the pudgy middle-aged guys in suits seated by the aisles of the front and exit rows - i.e., the guys who missed the upgrade.
These are the silver and gold elites that CO has spent years trying to link their self-esteem to the cabin they fly in. You can tap into this psychological state. Although they didn't pay at check-in, they will pay now, and even more, because they know battlefield-for-sale is their only option to restore their sense of self worth.

Actually it's not a bad idea...
Come to think about it, why not bring some extra cups on board for when there's a big line for the bathroom in back? We could sell the usage of the first class bathroom for a couple bucks to people who can't wait.

Dunno if anyone has posted this business plan yet...
They sell the minis for two bucks at the liquor store. I could stuff a quart Kippie bag full to get past the TSA and sell 'em for four bucks making a tidy 100% mark up.

Fantastic idea by the OP! :-:
I suggest the following other business ventures for you:
BTW, for further profits it is suggested that you 'procure' your inventory from the store you're selling them at, usually via the 5 Finger Discount. :-:
I suggest the following other business ventures for you:
- Selling the latest DVD release inside your local Best Buy
- Going to your local BN or Borders and selling the latest bestsellers
- Hawking appliances at the local appliance store
- Peddling paddles at the Paddle Depot
- Recyle greeting cards by selling them at your local $1 store
