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

I think you are missing the point or I am not explaining it properly. In F or on a flight with direct tv i get the headphones for 'Free' and then i want to sell them to Y passengers. Not a 5 finger discount or stealing, they are given by the airlines to me for free because I am sitting in First Class

I believe we all deserve $2 for having to deal with your

I think the OP should be wearing his Bad Idea jeans while selling headsets. 
Do you accept waffles or minis?

I would equate this as sitting in first, ordering drinks, and then selling them for $4 in Y. It is pretty much the same principle and sounds like a terrible idea. You could also say this about selling blankets and pillows.

I can't serve alcohol due to some regulations and blankets and pillows are not mine to keep, unlike the headphones 'That can be used on future flights' which means they are mine to keep, much like the Continental magazine

Not to be affiliated with the OP, but let me run this scenario by ya'll:
When CO starts their BOB program in whY, what do you think the going rate will be for a fresh baked muffin or other item from my Easy Bake Oven?

5 pages long and still going strong. This thread has progressed from sad to infuriating to outright hilarious.
