The Oldest and Simplest Method of Making Money, The Business Deal!
Garry Wynters

I escaped the rat race of the UK on Monday when I arrived in the Caribbean to start a new life. Things as you can guess are slightly different compared to back home in the UK. As anybody that has visited the Caribbean will be aware that the governments in certain islands like to use taxes as a method of raising revenue, in fact the Government on the Caribbean Island that I'm living on makes Gordon Brown look like an amateur.
For me the simplest form of making money is buying something and selling it for more than you paid for it, this type of trading has being going on virtually since time began. Before I arrived in the Caribbean a few people I know asked if I could bring them a gift of a mobile phone, which in return they would gift me some money for them! I use the word gift for obvious reasons!
I found a great deal on Virgin Mobile for the Nokia 5200, they were practically giving it away, it cost me about 35 plus I received a 10 airtime voucher. I managed to get it unlocked for 5, plus my airtime voucher. I found out my contacts were willing to pay me 130 for the phone. For me that is nice little profit, I bought 5 phones, which would mean a profit of 450. I must give some credit to Virgin Mobile for their efficient and on time delivery of their mobile phones, its great to see companies doing what they promise.
I arrived in the Caribbean on Monday and had the money in my hand by Tuesday afternoon, buying and selling goods for a profit is something makes the world go around, supply and demand is the cornerstone of virtually every successful business in the world. Del Boy from Only Fools and Horses would have been proud of such a deal, he, Rodney and Albert would have been straight down the Nags Head for a few celebratory drinks. Thousands of people all over the world are making a living buying goods, whether its clothes, food, computer parts, jewelry, etc and then selling for a profit to customers that want them.
It really is as simple as finding a supplier where you can buy products and then sell it for a profit. If you are looking for a business opportunity to make you some extra money or even a substantial income, why not consider the worlds oldest form of trading. It obviously takes a lot of effort, research and time to find your own particular niche, but if you are smart and determined you will succeed. Finding suppliers to buy goods in bulk from, shouldn't be too difficult nowadays, due to the power of Google, again it comes down to research to find trustworthy and reliable suppliers.
The profits I made from the business of mobile phones, I have started to be put to good use, an old woman that I see begging in the streets. Begging not because she is lazy, its a long story, but it is obvious fate has dealt her a cruel blow. I went to the supermarket and bought her enough shopping to last her for the month. In life it is good to give something back to those that are truly down on their luck, I would call it good Karma!
