WEBVTT 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:07.520 On this episode of Laptop or Bust, we find out how much we can make by picking 00:00:04.960 --> 00:00:12.639 and selling organic blueberries. So, choosing a berry farm, there's really 00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:17.600 only a few factors that you need to bear in mind. Quality of the berries, whether 00:00:15.200 --> 00:00:22.480 they allow you pick, if there's some kind of a gimmick. For example, NS, the 00:00:20.560 --> 00:00:26.800 berry farm that we're at today, has organic blueberries. So, we can put 00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:31.519 organic on our signs. And finally, pricing is of course going to be a major 00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:35.920 factor if you are planning to resell them and try and make a profit. Other 00:00:33.760 --> 00:00:40.960 than that, in terms of supplies, we've got our own boxes because most upix will 00:00:38.800 --> 00:00:44.320 allow you to buy carriers for your berries, but they're going to be more 00:00:42.160 --> 00:00:49.039 expensive. We've got some tape to make our boxes not have holes in them. some 00:00:46.559 --> 00:00:52.079 sunscreen and some nitrial gloves so that we're not putting our grubby 00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:57.680 fingers that we put up our butts all over the berries before we I don't think 00:00:55.680 --> 00:01:02.000 that's a thing. Why are you putting your finger up your butt? How do you How else 00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:06.400 Evaluate your washer routine? How else do you keep it in there? Intel's Skull 00:01:04.320 --> 00:01:11.119 Canyon Nook features a sixth generation Core i7 processor and Thunderbolt 3. 00:01:09.520 --> 00:01:16.159 Learn more at the link in the video description. Okay, 00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:20.799 so I wanted to take boxes out into the field. Not a thing, apparently. Buckets. 00:01:18.479 --> 00:01:24.720 Got it. They're useful for more than just ice cream. Off we 00:01:35.560 --> 00:01:43.000 go. Okay. Well, that's about an hour of picking then. How'd you do? Uh. 00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:50.799 Oh, that's actually really close. Pretty similar. All right. I don't know. I 00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:56.000 think you beat me by a little bit. Yours looks a little bit more filled in. Yeah, but my corners are empty. Let's see. 00:01:54.720 --> 00:02:01.040 Let's see. There's only one way to know for sure. Let's go. Yes, they do. Yep. 00:01:58.399 --> 00:02:06.799 You bet. Wow. Not bad. 22 lb. So, 19 minus three 00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:10.360 for the box. So, 19 lb. 19 lb. All right. I'm guessing yours is 25. 00:02:09.200 --> 00:02:17.520 No way. 23.2. I won by 1.2 lb. That's I 00:02:15.920 --> 00:02:25.599 knew it was closer than you thought it was. Okay. So, I got 20 20.2 lb. So, we 00:02:21.160 --> 00:02:26.599 got 39 lb between the two of us with an 00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:32.239 hour of picking. So, if we were here, and that 00:02:29.200 --> 00:02:33.519 includes the the inefficiencies of us 00:02:32.239 --> 00:02:40.720 just starting to learn and all that kind of stuff cuz we're both going faster near the end. 39 lb. So, if we were here 00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:45.680 for 4 hours, we should end up with somewhere in the neighborhood of about 00:02:42.160 --> 00:02:48.319 160 lbs. And if you started with like a 00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:52.080 full day of picking, got a whole bunch of stock, and then just did like 4 hours 00:02:50.160 --> 00:02:56.160 every day after that or something with half selling, then you could optimize 00:02:54.800 --> 00:03:00.560 how much you need to pick versus how much you know you can sell. Very 00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:05.920 interesting. Okay. Well, let's take our hall and let's uh let's go sell it. 00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:09.280 Cool. So, while we built our model around us picking the berries at the 00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:14.400 beginning of the day and then going and selling them, there are some other options here. In fact, when some of my 00:03:13.040 --> 00:03:19.120 family members found out that I was going to a berry farm today, they said, 00:03:16.239 --> 00:03:22.480 "Oh, hey, can you get £10 for me,£10 for me, and I found myself picking up 00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:28.879 actually a lot more berries than I needed to sell at the side of the road today." So canvasing your neighborhood 00:03:26.640 --> 00:03:34.879 for pre-orders might be an interesting way to A never have any overstock even 00:03:31.920 --> 00:03:38.959 though your margins are lower and B not even necessarily have to pick because as 00:03:37.200 --> 00:03:42.319 long as you can book orders at a price that's higher than what you pay for the 00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:46.319 prepicked ones. In our case it's two bucks per pound if we pick them or 250 00:03:44.799 --> 00:03:49.920 per pound if we just buy them already picked then you're still making money 00:03:47.920 --> 00:03:54.879 either way. I got to say, one of the coolest things about this has been 00:03:51.760 --> 00:03:56.959 learning about jobs that never would 00:03:54.879 --> 00:04:02.159 have even occurred to me if I wasn't sitting in a boardroom going like, "What 00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:06.799 are odd jobs you could do?" Like, if you needed to make some cash in the summer, 00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:14.879 I like it. So, what we're working on right now is how to sell the 100 00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:17.759 freaking pounds of blueberries that we 00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:22.880 have to get rid of in the next about 3 to 4 hours. So, we're going to create 00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:24.800 ourselves some uh some signage and let's 00:04:22.880 --> 00:04:30.560 see who can make the best most eye-catching sign. I brought these. 00:04:28.960 --> 00:04:38.240 Are you going to put them on a sign? No, I'm going to put them on my feet. So, I'm like tie dyed and pink and we'll be 00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:40.320 like, "Okay." Yeah. Sorry. Okay, let's 00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:44.880 do it. All right. What? We only have markers. Uh oh. We 00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:49.040 can have anything we want. Where's all the other stuff? Well, I don't know 00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:52.560 where we keep it. We have markers for now. 00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:57.350 Okay. I like your uh I like your thinking with the uh doubling up on the 00:04:54.720 --> 00:05:01.840 on the sign. 00:05:01.840 --> 00:05:09.400 life. It looks like a mask. Like a carnival mask. Look at 00:05:05.960 --> 00:05:11.680 that. Attempt two for a 00:05:09.400 --> 00:05:14.440 bee. It just looks like a different type of 00:05:14.440 --> 00:05:21.039 crap. It doesn't look that 00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:23.720 bad. There's just a a butt and a mask 00:05:21.039 --> 00:05:34.320 and then other letters. Well, that sucked a lot. Okay. 00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:50.280 Well, listen up. Here's the story about 00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:53.479 a little guy that lives in the blueberry 00:05:50.280 --> 00:05:56.479 world. I am running out of 00:05:53.479 --> 00:05:57.919 ink. So, I uh had kind of a panic moment 00:05:56.479 --> 00:06:02.240 when I realized I didn't really think about what direction my arrow was going 00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:07.680 to point. And I think it's okay because if I stand kind of that direction from 00:06:05.280 --> 00:06:10.800 the thing and I go like this, then we're good. As long as you're pointing towards 00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:14.639 a driveway entrance, which I think there is one on each side. So, it doesn't 00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:19.400 really Okay. All right. Well, then in that case, we're good. Let's go. 00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:26.919 Actually, I'm going to get a clown wig. Yeah. Let's see if there's anything 00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:26.919 else in the costume uh costume bin. 00:06:30.880 --> 00:06:37.360 I think that guy looked at us. We just set up wherever. First things first, we 00:06:35.919 --> 00:06:41.440 have a table. We borrowed this from our neighbor. It'll be helpful. You can put 00:06:38.960 --> 00:06:45.919 berries on it. You can put your bags on it. You can do whatever else there. And 00:06:43.520 --> 00:06:50.960 then we have chairs because it's going to be a long day. A canopy for shade is 00:06:49.280 --> 00:06:56.280 going to be a huge plus if you're going to be out there for hours at a time. 00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:58.800 Protection for both you and your uh 00:06:56.280 --> 00:07:02.319 berries. That's a tree. Uh that's okay. I think you can kind of you can kind of 00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:08.160 scooch probably around it a little. One cannot raise the roof until one has a 00:07:05.280 --> 00:07:13.199 roof. So there's velcro on the post. 00:07:11.280 --> 00:07:17.599 We've got bags cuz we want to sell them in bags, not little tray things cuz the 00:07:15.039 --> 00:07:21.280 tray things cost more. We have little tray things to display 00:07:19.520 --> 00:07:27.360 the berries so that our table looks nice. We have cool little chalky sign 00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:29.440 boards to be like, "Ah, 2 lb cost this 00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:34.240 much or whatever else." We have a digital kitchen 00:07:31.400 --> 00:07:37.919 scale for weighing out our pounds of berries. 00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:42.319 Vinyl gloves so we can look like we're being all hygienic and stuff. 00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:46.800 What do you mean look like? We used gloves while we fixed them. 00:07:44.960 --> 00:07:50.880 We have measuring spoons. I don't think we need those. Those were for the lemonade that we decided not to sell. 00:07:49.599 --> 00:07:56.800 You could still Are you drinking it with your hand? Oh, I guess. Oh, and we have 00:07:54.240 --> 00:08:04.400 a tablecloth. That's cute. A couple things we sort of forgot were a cash 00:08:00.919 --> 00:08:07.120 box and uh some change because people 00:08:04.400 --> 00:08:13.120 are unlikely to show up with exact change. So, so that's a thing. Okay. I 00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:16.879 didn't want our blueberries to bake in the sun there. So, we've pulled them 00:08:14.479 --> 00:08:20.720 into the shade, opening up the doors, making sure that they're not uh, you 00:08:18.960 --> 00:08:25.440 know, going to be soft by the time we give them to anyone. 00:08:23.199 --> 00:08:29.440 We We should still We should do 1.25 lbs is five bucks. If people really It's not 00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:34.479 going to be 1.25 anymore. You just Yeah, it will be. No, no, you had done the math wrong. Um Oh, I did. Yeah, you're 00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:39.360 right. I did 5. If they have exact change, they can buy however much they want. We don't care. And we can put it 00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:44.800 in a bag then. So, I'm pre-making a few bags. So, I'm pre-making some bags. I'm 00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:47.200 pre-making some 1.25 25 lb bags. We're going to have some one lb bags, but 00:08:46.160 --> 00:08:51.680 those are going to be hidden somewhere else. So, the reason for that is we ran 00:08:49.839 --> 00:08:57.920 into some pricing difficulties in that we don't have change. So, we have to 00:08:54.640 --> 00:08:59.760 sell 1.25 lbs at $5 in order for us to 00:08:57.920 --> 00:09:02.880 have any hope of giving people change to avoid a trip to the bank for a bunch of 00:09:01.760 --> 00:09:12.480 quarters. Do you guys want some blueberries? Maybe. It's $3.99 a pound. It's $4. 00:09:09.839 --> 00:09:17.680 $3.99 a pound. All right. So, here's what we have for 00:09:14.519 --> 00:09:20.240 change. That's like, can you not put 00:09:17.680 --> 00:09:24.000 money all over the merchandise? I am going to go put up the signs and uh 00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:29.080 let's see if we can start bringing in some customers here. I don't know how 00:09:26.560 --> 00:09:34.560 visible this is. Okay, so here we go. I'm going to go 00:09:32.640 --> 00:09:38.800 be one of those dancing sign people. Never done that before. A lot of people 00:09:36.880 --> 00:09:43.959 turn here. A lot of people turn and go up 184th 00:09:41.040 --> 00:09:48.720 Street instead of going through on 60th Avenue. Maybe if I positioned myself a 00:09:46.640 --> 00:09:54.640 little smarter, I could take advantage of people coming up here as 00:09:51.399 --> 00:09:56.560 well. Oh no, they're honking at me. Wow, 00:09:54.640 --> 00:10:03.000 I'm already humiliated and it's only been 3 minutes. 00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:05.640 You know what's funny about uh this 00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:11.320 episode is that because we have inventory, if we don't sell it, we're 00:10:08.880 --> 00:10:17.000 actually just out like $300 of 00:10:14.200 --> 00:10:21.360 berries. Not insignificant. We're getting 00:10:18.680 --> 00:10:25.279 blueberries. You know you want them. People are reading the sign. I'm 00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:30.320 definitely getting their attention. So, does one of the recurring 00:10:27.560 --> 00:10:36.519 themes of these laptop or bus videos become Lionus failure 00:10:33.560 --> 00:10:42.880 montages? Maybe I should have a price advertised. Maybe that's what I'm 00:10:40.040 --> 00:10:48.399 missing cuz our pricing is competitive. But, uh, no one's ever actually getting 00:10:45.839 --> 00:10:54.160 in there to look at it. There's a ghost cop car that's like parked on the street 00:10:51.760 --> 00:11:00.240 there. Hopefully just doing cell phone checks, but he could be staring at 00:10:57.880 --> 00:11:05.880 me. Oh, I saw them. They thought about it. Oh, I think I might have drawn one 00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:09.640 in. So, that would be one in the first 6 00:11:05.880 --> 00:11:13.120 minutes. No, they're just getting 00:11:09.640 --> 00:11:15.680 gas. Are we really sitting at zero 00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:19.200 customers for the first 10 minutes here? Oh, I thought I saw someone at the 00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:25.200 table, but it was Ed. So freaking the guy who stopped for 00:11:21.079 --> 00:11:28.399 Luke wanted 250 a pound. I mean we 00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:28.399 brought them all the way 00:11:28.680 --> 00:11:38.800 here called to say that the bumper is still around you. Yeah, I know. Okay. He 00:11:34.880 --> 00:11:40.800 said that Ivonne called to say that the 00:11:38.800 --> 00:11:45.200 cop is still around and apparently watching me. They pretend they can't see 00:11:42.800 --> 00:11:48.560 me. I am the lowest of the low. Hello. They are technically not certified 00:11:47.040 --> 00:11:54.600 organic. The farm that we picked them at said that they were organic. That's 00:11:50.160 --> 00:11:54.600 whatever. This is five bucks. 00:11:54.800 --> 00:12:01.040 So, we got our first sale. They were a little uh weird about the cameras, which 00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:05.120 is probably expected, but yeah, that went pretty easy. I was happy we had the 00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:09.680 pre-made bags because she said she would buy whatever, and it hap just so 00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:12.720 happened that our pre-made bag was 1.25 lb. So, we got five bucks instead of 00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:17.760 four bucks. So, that's good. I'm going to keep the 1.25 lb bags promptly 00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:24.240 displayed. From talking to berry farms, people are 00:12:21.519 --> 00:12:30.200 doing this. People are finding a way to buy the berries wholesale and sell them 00:12:26.959 --> 00:12:33.120 at berry stands on the side of the 00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:37.519 road. But the issue that I'm seeing is startup 00:12:34.760 --> 00:12:41.920 cost. Establishing yourself as a known provider of berries is going to take a 00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:46.720 significant amount of time. the place where you sell 00:12:43.880 --> 00:12:50.760 them probably affects your success a lot. We're in kind of a farming 00:12:48.959 --> 00:12:55.200 community here in Langley, so that guy expecting 250 a pound 00:12:53.160 --> 00:12:59.519 pricing, there'll probably be a fair bit of that. But price doesn't seem like the 00:12:57.360 --> 00:13:03.440 only or maybe even a major problem because we can't even get anyone to pull 00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:09.920 over. Startup overhead includes a food service 00:13:06.839 --> 00:13:11.360 license, a vendor license, as well as 00:13:09.920 --> 00:13:16.560 some kind of an agreement with an establishment that will let you sell there. So, the Clover Hill Market was 00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:20.240 nice enough to let us do this for one day, but I think if we were to try to do 00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:25.360 it on an ongoing basis, we would either have to play our students saving up for 00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:30.800 a laptop card pretty hard or we would have to compensate them in some 00:13:27.720 --> 00:13:32.880 way, adding still higher margin 00:13:30.800 --> 00:13:37.839 requirements to an already difficult business. 00:13:35.839 --> 00:13:42.399 My turn. Yeah, your turn. Let's wait till this light turns red. I mean, I'd 00:13:40.160 --> 00:13:46.800 say I'd say I have a deep concern about there not being anyone manning the booth 00:13:44.399 --> 00:13:52.240 for all the customers right now, but uh it doesn't appear to be an 00:13:49.720 --> 00:13:55.680 issue. I've shared any insight that I can think of as I go about why this 00:13:54.160 --> 00:14:00.600 might not be working or things that we could do better. Feel free to do the 00:13:57.600 --> 00:14:00.600 same. 00:14:01.040 --> 00:14:08.320 Do you want the hat? You're covering it up to the side 00:14:05.040 --> 00:14:11.680 anyway. I know, but to keep the sun off. 00:14:08.320 --> 00:14:14.940 Oh, it's actually pretty nice. 00:14:11.680 --> 00:14:18.079 Do you want the wig, too? No. 00:14:18.079 --> 00:14:21.519 Sign tricks. What 00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:34.680 up? Almost broke the arrow. Yeah. Go buy some 00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:38.320 berries. When ghosts just be like, "Yay, 00:14:34.680 --> 00:14:41.360 berries." Spin move. Reverse spin move. 00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:44.320 Drop the sign. Raise the sign. Twirl the 00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:50.880 sign. Twirl the sign. Other way. Flip it over. Twirl it around. Berries. Buy 00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:56.560 someing berries. Do you want me to verify for you on the scale? Oh, no. I 00:14:53.839 --> 00:15:02.959 Okay. I look honest with my shirt here. Honest. 00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:05.120 There you are. And thank you, ma'am. 00:15:02.959 --> 00:15:08.480 Pleasure doing business with you. What we're actually making is a video about 00:15:06.880 --> 00:15:12.160 different ways that students can make money in the summer. So, we're not 00:15:10.399 --> 00:15:17.279 students, but we're trying different business models for one day each and 00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:22.399 then evaluating sort of how the numbers work out and making a a recommendation 00:15:19.760 --> 00:15:27.680 based on that. So far, website or what? Um, YouTube uh YouTube.com/linustips. 00:15:25.920 --> 00:15:31.680 Okay. The sort of theme. Anyway, sorry. Would you like some blueberries? I would 00:15:29.040 --> 00:15:36.079 love some. Wonderful. So, it's four bucks a pound, which we found was about 00:15:34.240 --> 00:15:41.680 $150 a pound cheaper than any of the supermarkets. Okay. And they are they're 00:15:38.560 --> 00:15:43.760 not certified organic. That's yucky. But 00:15:41.680 --> 00:15:47.760 they're from NS Farms in Kquitlam. And it is an organic farm. We know the 00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:50.880 owner. All that's on the up and up. You'll take one. Wonderful. And I 00:15:49.759 --> 00:15:55.759 actually do have change for you. Would you like me to validate? Okay. Oh, you 00:15:53.519 --> 00:16:02.079 want you want£5? Okay. You will have to give me one moment. Uh, let me think for 00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:07.600 a second. expecting that one. No, no, I wasn't. Um, but what I can do is I can 00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:09.360 use our already counted. So, here, let's 00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:13.440 just do a quick validation so that I know that I'm not ripping you off what 00:16:11.920 --> 00:16:19.279 our weight is here. No, that's 5 lbs. You want Sorry, did you say how much you want? 5 lbs. Yeah. Good. Okay, then 00:16:16.880 --> 00:16:23.839 that's what this is. And I will start to put that into bags for you. Oh, boy. How 00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:30.639 about if I give you this first? Yes. And then I'll help you hold the bag. That would be wonderful. And we have more 00:16:26.560 --> 00:16:33.360 bags than that if it comes to that. Uh, 00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:38.160 Yeah, we um you know, we're we're trying our best to sort of model it in a way 00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:42.399 that will be easy for people to replicate if it turns out to be 00:16:40.079 --> 00:16:46.800 successful. So, we were thinking you can save some cost by using paper bags and 00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:50.000 recycle the bags. It's all very friendly. So, we use reusable containers 00:16:48.560 --> 00:16:53.839 to pick them, all that kind of stuff. So, we're just Perfect. 00:16:52.560 --> 00:16:58.279 We're trying different things. We're not experts at this. That's kind of the point. 00:17:02.880 --> 00:17:11.919 It's a middle-aged white. Oh, there's someone at this booth. Go, go quick. 00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:16.039 Blueberries. Hello, sir. 00:17:11.919 --> 00:17:16.039 Dang it. My sign is broken. 00:17:17.199 --> 00:17:25.839 So, these are five bucks even, so they're easier for change, which is why we've done 125. Get to my sign. My 00:17:21.919 --> 00:17:28.880 wonderful sign. Cool. 00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:30.640 Awesome. Thank you very much. All right, 00:17:28.880 --> 00:17:38.880 so we've divided them up into easier quantities. So one one uh 1.25 lbs is 00:17:35.440 --> 00:17:40.160 five bucks. Okay. 00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:45.600 Perfect. Thank you, sir. Thank you very much. Have a good day. 00:17:42.799 --> 00:17:48.400 We just sit here and eat. Maybe you buy a bag. Then you can sit 00:17:46.960 --> 00:17:57.720 here and eat from the bag. Let's buy some. Okay. Uh she said last as in me. 00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:57.720 Oh, I see. It's the Royal Wii. 00:17:58.480 --> 00:18:03.520 So, each one of those is 1.25 lbs. And 00:18:01.520 --> 00:18:08.160 how much is that? That's five bucks. Five bucks? Yep. 00:18:06.640 --> 00:18:14.919 See, she said it so loud because it was just such a great price. It's expensive. 00:18:11.919 --> 00:18:14.919 Yeah. 00:18:17.520 --> 00:18:23.840 You should get your taxi driver to get some blueberries. I would highly 00:18:21.360 --> 00:18:28.280 recommend it. Although there is some added cost of the taxi. They're they're 00:18:25.760 --> 00:18:33.600 pretty good value. Blueberries. They're 00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:34.960 wonderful. They're blue. So, I tell you 00:18:33.600 --> 00:18:40.640 what, we're actually packing it in for the day. Take another one. A Are you 00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:43.600 sure? Yeah. Yeah. We won't be able to do anything with at least some of this 00:18:42.080 --> 00:18:48.120 inventory. So, thank you very much. Yeah. Enjoy. Thank you. 00:18:49.120 --> 00:18:57.280 You're welcome, Blueberry. Oh, no. Not you. See, seenor. Hey, you have any 00:18:54.480 --> 00:19:02.400 penis whistle? Are you I'm the biggest fan. I trust me, I have much bigger fans 00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:06.160 than you. You couldn't weigh more than like 75 lbs. Those are good berries. Uh 00:19:04.880 --> 00:19:10.280 yeah, some of them. All right. This is about 11 12 lb. So, okay. Uh let's see. 00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:17.760 Uh don't pes don't haggle with me. No. 00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:22.520 Enjoy. They got money for you. I don't Oh, did you give it to them? 00:19:20.160 --> 00:19:27.840 Oh, wow. I see how it is. All right. Well, that's only 20. Hey. Hey. Your 00:19:25.840 --> 00:19:32.360 your kid learned from the best. That's Yeah, that's uh 20 pesos. 00:19:35.679 --> 00:19:44.360 How much for the wig? The wig's not for sale, my friend. This has got my DNA on 00:19:40.559 --> 00:19:44.360 it. You could make another Linus. 00:19:44.880 --> 00:19:51.600 All right. Thanks, guys. Good night, you guys. So, an interesting thought we have 00:19:49.679 --> 00:19:56.240 about our neighbor at the office, Steve, dropping by to buy a 10 lb flat of 00:19:53.919 --> 00:20:01.240 berries off me, not to mention my two family members, each of which want 10 00:19:58.080 --> 00:20:04.240 lbs of berries, is that taking 00:20:01.240 --> 00:20:06.799 pre-orders and selling at a lower margin 00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:13.280 but a higher volume to friends and family may be either a a way to get the 00:20:09.760 --> 00:20:16.240 business kickarted or b just plain more 00:20:13.280 --> 00:20:22.400 viable than the side of the road method via which We made very little over the 00:20:20.080 --> 00:20:26.840 course of an entire day. All right, so we all know about the Pokémon Go craze. 00:20:24.720 --> 00:20:31.919 Well, the app itself is great, subjectively, but it'll drain the crap 00:20:29.520 --> 00:20:38.799 out of your phone's battery. Enter the Rav Power 22,000 mAh portable charger. 00:20:35.840 --> 00:20:44.320 It can charge an iPhone 6S up to 9 times and a Galaxy S7 up to five times. You 00:20:42.080 --> 00:20:50.000 can actually charge up to three devices at once with the USB ports on the front. 00:20:46.880 --> 00:20:52.559 And it's portable, being roughly the 00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:56.640 size of your handheld deviceish. It features iSmart 2.0 technology for 00:20:54.640 --> 00:21:00.720 faster charging. And it's got a lifetime warranty. You can learn more at the link 00:20:58.559 --> 00:21:04.720 in the video description. And you won't run out of battery when you're playing 00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:09.600 Pokémon Go anymore. At least that is if you buy one. If you just look at the 00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:12.559 link, that won't help. So, laptop or 00:21:09.600 --> 00:21:17.080 bust? That is the question. And I think the only way to answer it is to show you 00:21:14.799 --> 00:21:22.240 guys the spoils and the other spoils. 00:21:20.240 --> 00:21:26.880 Yeah. Uh we have a lot of blueberries left and we kind of need to sell way 00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:31.280 more than we actually did. The the spoils having cash in your hand isn't as 00:21:28.720 --> 00:21:34.960 great as it originally sounds. Uh we would have had to sell at a rate of 00:21:32.480 --> 00:21:38.720 what, like four or five the times the amount that we actually did. Yeah. In 00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:44.000 order for us to make this feasible, we'd have had to sell a lot more blueberries. 00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:48.799 Um, we have to account for the very high startup cost. I think there is a 00:21:47.039 --> 00:21:52.880 potential model in here. If you can find enough people to pre-order from you, 00:21:50.960 --> 00:21:58.159 like our neighbor Steve did, you would have to do a higher volume at a reduced 00:21:55.039 --> 00:22:01.039 margin, which in a nutshell is the 00:21:58.159 --> 00:22:06.159 produce business. Yeah. And like you need a car and you need it almost every 00:22:03.520 --> 00:22:09.200 day, if not every two or three days. Uh, you have to have quite a bit of upfront 00:22:07.520 --> 00:22:13.039 cost for the berries themselves. Yes. if you're picking it, but they're still not 00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:18.640 that cheap and you have to buy them like every couple 00:22:15.320 --> 00:22:21.919 days. So, could you make money like 00:22:18.640 --> 00:22:24.400 this? The answer is yes. But laptop or 00:22:21.919 --> 00:22:28.679 bust, I'm giving this one a thumbs down. Yeah, there's better things you could 00:22:25.679 --> 00:22:28.679 do.
