| Oh boy...wish me luck!!!!!!! this could go REALLY good...or REALLY bad! have you heard of "silly bandz"???? they are all the kids around here are talking about right now. they are animal shaped rubber bands that kids wear as bracelets. They stretch like a rubber band...but go back to their original shape. if you google "silly bandz" you can see exactly what they are. well...without going into a lot of detail...Terry and I have just bought 50,000 packages of them and will have a kiosk at our local mall selling them...opening on Black Friday. If all goes well, we can PROFIT over $20,000 off of just this one batch we have. we have been told by a few others across the country that have these at kiosk's that they have sold out of their inventory within 4 hours of opening. OMG that would just be so insanely crazy!!!!! that is more money than I would know what to do with (don't get me wrong...I will find plenty "to do" with the money)...but it almost seems to good to be true. and you know what they say!!!!!!! here are a few pics of what it is we are selling. I have NO idea why they are so popular..but they are...and that's all that matters. I know this "fad" will probably not last long...but we will be the only supplier for these in the mall (and it's a very nice mall)..and the only 2 other places in our area that I know that sells them are always sold out. sooooooooo....wish me luck LOL I just went from being jobless to working full time selling these darned things HAHAHAHA

| I just found out about these this week. Several ladies at work have been trying to get their hands on some for their kids/grandkids. So they've been calling these 2 stores for what seems like a week trying to see if they've gotten a shipment. Finally one store got them and ALL of these women were like mad people at lunchtime trying to get to this store to pay like $8 for a bag of 24 of them. I told them that it was nuts to pay that much for rubberbands! LOL! Congratulations girl! You may just be $20000 richer soon.
