Today was rough. I woke up at about 8:00 AM and headed down to the block. There were tones of guys already out their moving that product. I figured I had a busy day ahead of me. I had the advantage on my competition seeing as though my stuff was in high demand. Sure they had the downers, but no one was trying to pay the price so my uppers would do. Things quickly began to pick up at about 10:00 AM. I had a few inquiries from nervous patrons who drove down from the burbs to cop their fix. I even sold a set for wholesale price. The feeling I get from making a hand-to-hand sale is exhilarating. It’s not all fun and games though. I had beef with a few guys who said I was on their territory and the cops were on my ass about illegal trafficking. I approached a middle aged man to see if I could be of any service, but he just shook his head in disgust. Those are the type of people that irritate me. I can only sell what the people want, right? So he shouldn’t be mad at me for trying to put a few dollars in my pocket.
It began to rain so I was willing to move that weight for less than retail. This oldhead approaches me looking for some product. I was a little hesitant about doing business with him because he looked a bit shady. I finally agreed to talk business when he stated that he wasn’t a cop. He must of thought I let my guard down because he started requesting I give him a two for one deal trying. It wouldn’t have really hurt my pockets to do so, but it’s the principle. If you let them off the hook once, they will keep coming back expecting cheap prices. So I told the guy, “The price is what it is. If you don’t like it then step! They got that cheap stuff down the way, but not over here,” The man let out a sigh and reluctantly said, “Fine. Just give me two tickets for tonight’s Villanova game and I will be out of your way.” I must say, I did pretty well for my first and last day as a ticket scalper.
