Guest Posted September 5, 2001 Report Share Posted September 5, 2001 What are some valuable things that can be gotten cheap in Thailand? I was thinking if I could buy 5-10 things that would be of value in the US then I could sell them on Ebay when I get home and pay for my trip. What got me thinking this was I was looking around on Ebay and I noticed real skulls (for medical teaching) where selling for $300-$400. I thought I bet Cambodia has some skulls cheap. 5-8 skulls would pay for my trip. Crazy thought I know.....and I'm sure it will offend some people too but oh well.

gummigut Posted September 6, 2001 Report Share Posted September 6, 2001 Hmm, Smith's song? How about, "My mother is bigger than your mother." Oh, we're talking about skulls! Stupid me. <<burp>> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 6, 2001 Report Share Posted September 6, 2001 take a look at ebay for thai stuff ( narrow the search to just thailand) looks like all the "cheep crap" from the streets is already on ebay. ( and its not selling) You probably ( imho) be better off bring in a palm top or two with you and selling them in in bkk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

los Posted September 6, 2001 Report Share Posted September 6, 2001 I get the feeling that 5-8 human skulls would not go over too well at the customs counter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elfman36 Posted September 7, 2001 Report Share Posted September 7, 2001 This really is one of more humorous line of posts I've read since becoming a member here. Hey guys, the man's thinking.... give him credit for that! What's the saying? "Necessity is the mother of invention?" I tell you, when I read the reply about how customs would react to a suitcase full of human skulls... if I had Coke, I would have sprayed it all over my monitor! I'm still grinning.... Cheers, elfman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 7, 2001 Report Share Posted September 7, 2001 Well I will tell you that I never thought of that then I was walking through Pantip Plaza and these things hit me like a ton of bricks they are very very cheap and they bring very good money on Ebay I pay aprox 1-3 US Dollars and they go for 15-35 dollars Of course I won't tell you what I am buying because I am still the only one On Ebay with this Item and it has been 5 trips taken with the profits of these. Open your eyes it is to easy to be real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jingjoh Posted September 7, 2001 Report Share Posted September 7, 2001 If what you are selling is copied in any way I would suggest you shut up and delete your post as people have been found here from doing just that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
