Which NTer is this? NYC Man Earns $55,000 A Year Peddling Candy On Subway

In school I could make $50 in a day, albeit I stole half of my supply. If he's gettin cases on the cheap then $150 is a slow day. Think about it. Thousands of people. 1 in 20 could buy $1 worth and out of 3000 people that's $150. He should stock some 5 hour energy and maybe some ExtenZe.
 
^^^ 5hr energy and extenze = genius. quick come up if your willing to be that guy hustlin on a train.
 
As long as he's not buying shoes to flip props to him for that hustle. Peanut M&Ms

I'd buy off him. Where does he keeps his inventory if he runs out assuming he sells out in one day? He has to buy the train tickets so that'll cut into his profits as well. How much are tickets/passes?

$2.25 for a single fare (there are also monthly passes, student passes, etc), you can take as many rides as you want as long you don't exit the subway system.

Yea uncle sam wants a cut of any profit made on his soil the US. I know the IRS can touch him, but other then this video hes not on anybodys radar. Hes pretty much a bum with a product. No store, not kiosk, no licence, no paperwork(Candy receipts lol) so he'd be hard to find, and who is interested in screwing over a small time candy pusher. MJ dealer, but he has legal candy.

If he does make that 55k, he's making 10k more then an average american worker considering the candy expenses.

If def copped from dude.

Can't remember which train...R or the 4,5 or 6?

I copped the fruit punch fruit snacks.

I was rockin' the Mars Blackmon IV's
 
dude must have great willpower not to dip into his supply.

I know if that were me a good amount of those peanut m&m would be gone...

If you buy in bulk (and I mean conservatively at a regular Sam's Club/Costco type store), M&M's individual packs are appox. $0.50, so he nets $0.50 a sale.
Based on a 365 day full schedule, to make $55k, working 8 hrs a day, he's essentially selling 35-40 candy packs per hour. Even taking into account that he takes off time for holidays and vacation time, still not bad.

Considering how many people are on a subway and if he gets a better deal somewhere else for his product, I figure that's more than do-able.
 
Never seen that dude in my life. I stay mostly 34th and down though. Only dudes I see with candy are the ones for basketball team
 
these dudes out there all day everyday....

I cop from them if im one the train which is like 1 a month ......

its a way to make a living.. cant knock the hustle
 
Excuse me ladies and gentlemen.....I'm not trying to sell candy for a basketball team, I'm just trying to keep some money in my pocket and stay out of trouble lol
 
Flippin candy for Foamz. Man, I remember kids in high school used to do this and they'd make at least $30 a day.
 
150 units a day is definitely feasible. Son is sellin candy not cufflinks. If you're in a crowded area and people see candy, they're going to want candy. Hell, I went and bought some peanut m&ms myself after watching the vid.
Sons presentation is mad wack tho, but hey, it works. I guess if it looked too polished it might raise too many eyebrows.
 
Don't believe it.

He still has to buy the candy and make consistent high sales every single day.

I doubt he makes 1/3 of that, but I give him props since it's better than doing nothing

35-40 an hour... You are out of your damn mind if you think that's doable. And that is a conservative estimate IMO.
