Last year in middle school I did this a lot and it was fun. Also sold cookies but the school quickly banned me and the principle even came over to talk about how horrible of a crime I had committed.
My friend kept everyone's poptarts from breakfast and sold them. He had a entire locker full of them and they confiscated every single pack. I didn't go to the same school as him. I gave away sunflower seeds for free in first class to two friends and they sold them for a dollar even though it is marked on the pack 49c
I started my empire sweet business when I was 13 years old. Took them 3 years to find out I was doing it but only because I was effecting the cafeteria sales. It began with me buying 3 bags of sweets on this corner shop for £1 and I would sell each individual bag for 40p, making me 20p. After I did this for a month I made another £4 making 20p a day at school doing this. So now I had a total of £5 on me. I wanted to up my game. So, when I next went to the grocery store with my mom, I looked around the sweet aisle and ran some calculations, I brought my calculator with me and brainstormed some ideas. I found that it looked like the best bang for my buck was to buy a big bag of apple O's and Peach O's which cost £1 each. I then had to buy a pack of 100 plastic bags and ties to seal the sweets in seperately. So after my first shop with my mom, I bought 2 apple Os bags, 1 Peach Os bag, a pack of 100 plastic bags, and 100 plastic ties all for just under £5. When I got home I opened all 3 bags, counted out how many rings were in each bag, and it came to average 32-33 rings per bag. What I ended up doing was selling 5 rings for 40p, or 10 for £1 (the demand for £1 bags was higher). I easily made on average £1.40-£2.00 per bag this way, and I soon realised every 3 bags I bought, I made an extra 40p from the leftovers. Within the first week of selling the Apple and Peach O's, I made just over £10. So, next time I went shopping with my mom, this time I bought 10 bags of the Os, 5 apple and 5 peach. The monday after I managed to sell all the sweets worth making me about £25 worth in total. I started to make on average £15 a day minimum, selling out normally before first period or no later than our first break. I even made some bags ''special'' by cutting all the rings in half, then connecting apple and peach together, creating a new found school favourite which everyone paid 10p extra so paid 50p instead of 40p for the special bags this way netting me even more profit. I eventually branched out to add gummy worms as well, and started creating even more combos with the sweets and flavours. I started making around £20 profit a day, making me around £100 a week after the first 2 months doing this. Kids started to notice, and I began getting more customers in the higher years above me. I continued doing this for 3 years, and after my first 6 months starting, I started to hire the ''biggest'' kids in my year, or sometimes the years above me paying them each £5 to be my bodygaurds as I sold my sweets because people tried to steal the bags from me. I often used different friends lockers, and had a special zipper pocket in my blazer to stash money and always have change. Unfortunately after 3 years, I got caught selling them by a teacher. I was taken to the principal, and my mom was called into school. they asked me how long I have been doing this, and I said about 3 years now. He asked me how much I made, I said about £100 a week, and in total around £2500. Both him and my mom was in shock, my mom knew I sold sweets but she had no idea how much money I was actually making. You see, my parents never gave me pocket money, so I literally started with £1 coin off the ground I found luckily one day, and turned it into £2,500 in 3 years, from starting at 13. the school then banned me from selling sweets ever again on the school grounds, my business never earned as much as I used to, but I still sold the sweets before and after school off the property to my favourite loyal customers and made around £50 a week from requests. It is safe to say schools never teach you how to actually be successful, I have learned it is better to ask for forgiveness than permission. I learned more about business and sales in those few years than I ever did at school or througout university. It is all about your mindset, money is there to be made EVERWHERE. True story.
Lmao if you got your business going a few years sooner you could have had enough for a (used) car your senior years of high school and been the most popular kid on the block. Assuming cars go for $4000 / £3300 at the time/ in that country. What a story that would have been- getting your license at 16 then coming home with a car the next day to your parents disbelief.
There was this guy in my old highschool who would loan people money and he had a little notebook where he wrote down the agreed payback date. There was 10% interest for everyday after the agreed date that they didn't pay. His own cousin owed him $2100. There were other kids at that school that didn't pay back $1 for 3 years....

I sell cans of coke. I buy cases of them when they're on sale so I pay around $0.15 per can, then I sell them for $1. The school vending machines sell them for $1.50. I've made a couple hundred bucks so far
20 dollars each I'm guessing it took at least 5 hours to make each one and not to mention that the plastic used to make stuff can get expensive and the machine itself was probably at least 150 dollars idk how he made a profit.
My friends actually started a business at school, they sold coke cans for $1.50 but I used to get the bargain and got 3 for $1.50😂😂😂, but someone snitched on them after a couple of months cause they were making tons of money and they all got suspended for a few days

Yes A very Australian Chanel ‘Middle School’ (Just addressing that some people is aus have middle schools but everywhere I have lived, QLD, VIC, NSW and WA have never had it)
Our high school increased the vending machine candy bars from $1 to $1.50 one year so I went out and got the bulk boxes and sold them out of my locker for $1. If I recall I made like $400 over the next few months until the school reverted its prices.
We had a kid like this at school. He got so successful that he had a whole chain going of like 6-7 kids selling his products. He did so well he actually got shut down cos he nearly put the tucky out of business
The funny thing is, is I started to actually sell stuff in middle school like lollies, chocolates, Gum and even Cold cans that I sold from an insulated Lunch box. And to be honest, all of the clips in this video is actually what happens, though the part they didn't show was how much scabbing goes on (taking stuff and not paying you back). The only thing that I did do was make the prices reasonable so that both me and the customer were happy. Surprisingly, this tought me Financial and Marketing Skills.
In yr 6 we had a classroom economy and everyone had careers and with their salary, they could buy stuff from the bookmark businesses. Proud to say I had one of the highest salaries, being the prime minister's (teacher's) assistant
i oddly was the opposite in grade 6. i was the kid who would buy like packs and packs of candy for my friends. sometimes i would trade but usually i would insist on them not paying. i was sort of the banker of the grade because the candy i bought was really popular and you couldn't really buy it in many places cuz it was from the uk. i slowly became part of several suppliers, cuz i gave out ma sources, unlike before where i was like the only one but i was always the main one lol. damn that was long. the candy i would buy were millions and they are like little tiny balls which were hard and first and then u could chew them.
McKittyCat , South african here we don’t have a middle school but in my old high school,I used to sell fizzy drinks , seeing as everyone was in hostile . Mine was the cheapest so later I had a monopoly , sadly the prefects figured it out. I tried to sell it in many ways like keeping shit in my shoes , hat and what ever you could think of . Then I recruited grade 8 kids to sell for me . I felt like al capone , prefects could not bust me , I later had money to buy PlayStation !
i used to live in western australia but recently we had to move. these videos give me so much nostalgia and remind me of the good ol days when my friends existed u earned urself a sub
I love how I understand every reference on this channel since I’m also Australian, it just sounds better to hear them say things like ‘woolies’ instead of ‘Walmart’
I’m still shocked anyone managed to actually do this. At my school you’d just get told “no i‘m not gonna pay for that lol”. I guess I just didnt have the ruthless confidence of a business person
My greatest business was in 4th grade. During class, I got up several times mid-lesson to get napkins from the cabinets in our classroom. I had a stack of green A4 paper in my desk too. I folded the paper into a paper boat/hat, and put the napkin in the hole where your head would go. I stapled through the napkin and paper so they became connected, then drew a smiley face on the napkin, so it looked like a little dude wearing a paper hat. I sold them by the name “Steve” for 10¢ each, and I think I made like 60¢ by bothering everyone to buy them. Looking back, wow was that a low price, and wow was the idea pretty dumb, but it made me happy at the time!
😂 in grade 5 I would buy a pack of 10 pencils from the dollar store for 1$. Then I would shave the oarnge coating off with scissors, and draw cool designs on the bare wood with markers, and sell them 75cents each. And I would take special requests for designs or, ones with their name drawn cool on it for 1.50$
Literally knew a kid just like this he sold 4 sticks of gum for a dollar. He gave mechanical pencil lead for homework answers and also gave out lunch money in return for double the next day. I think he's in jail now
Then there's the kid that teaches you how to get around the school's computers' 'security' so you can play games. Legit though; it used to be to just end a certain program via task manager and that's it. lol It's probably changed by now.
My school blocked the Minecraft wiki, so we would use web archive to get past it. It would work fine until an update for the game came through, then it was all out of date.
@Ellis Dee preps means preparation, it's the first year of primary school in a Australia do give year olds. They're not calling them a prep like they're preppy/nerdy lmfao
Apparently I thought you needed yeast to make it... Got picked up for manufacturing hard cider, possession underage, and loads of other crap JK, they never found out, AND I knew damn well what I was doing
I remember my middle school business. My mom had gotten a bunch of lollipops from someone. My sister didn't like them, my mom didn't really eat them, so I took all 25 of them and since they were design to look like bunnies, flowers, and butterfles I sold them for $1.25-1.50. Looking back at it now I could have sold them for more, and yea I sold them all and bought video games

I used to sell origami in middle and elementary school. Since my parents wouldn’t let me have candy at home, I’d often spend the money at a vending machine at lunch and buy candy for me and my mate. He also had parents like mine so I’d teach him how to make things too so he could help. It was a great buisness venture. I’d also sell drawing as well but origami was my main selling point
i used to commission drawings and clay models. once some of my friends asked me to make them a friendship pizza out of clay where the pieces would come apart, and the didn’t even include me in it
back when i was 9, i used to sell small bouncy balls i got from those “vending machines” from those gas stations for like 20 cents each. i used to sell the more colourful balls for as much as 1.50 dollars and the more boring ones for 30 cents
at school there was a lad who used his locker as his cookie/candy/beverages store that were at least half cheaper than what the school sells at their stand, he still made decent profit as well
In Grade 4 me and another guy started a comic company. We made the comics ourselves and rented them for a nickel each. Called ourselves Classroom Comics and we did so well that we expanded into the class next door and hired on more authors. We spent all the profits on cookies from the canteen for our staff at the end of the year. Dozens of cookies.
Back in 8th grade my friend ran a small convienence store out of his locker. He was buying candy, chips, and drinks from a local dollar store and selling them for a profit. He managed to make a decent amount of money before teachers found out and shut him down. True story
Freshman year in high school, I made a ton doing people’s engineering 3D models, the teacher was bad and I was one of the ppl who actually knew how to do it.
We went to school in South Australia and we had a middle school so shut ya moufs

Can we just appreciate how good the guy was on the harmonica
In yr 6 we had a classroom economy and everyone had careers and with their salary, they could buy stuff from the bookmark businesses. Proud to say I had one of the highest salaries, being the prime minister's (teacher's) assistant
@@Dducksquad haha where did that happened
The absolute profit of those candy powder straws. Our school had to straight up ban them
i once sell a blank paper to my friend when i was a toddler and in that day i feel like a rich man
I like how their content just havent changed it never gets old
When darcy started on the harmonica I was ready for it to be fire. 10/10 not disappointed
i oddly was the opposite in grade 6. i was the kid who would buy like packs and packs of candy for my friends. sometimes i would trade but usually i would insist on them not paying. i was sort of the banker of the grade because the candy i bought was really popular and you couldn't really buy it in many places cuz it was from the uk. i slowly became part of several suppliers, cuz i gave out ma sources, unlike before where i was like the only one but i was always the main one lol. damn that was long.
the candy i would buy were millions and they are like little tiny balls which were hard and first and then u could chew them.
What a legend
@@irisfilmproductions lol thanks
Sounds like the chewy sweet tart minis, my brothers and I were fiends for them growing up
@@yoyomajerk oooooo i searched those up and they look good!
My class had “tickets” as a form of currency, and I sold holders for these tickets that I made out of post-it notes
I wish I had that
McKittyCat , South african here we don’t have a middle school but in my old high school,I used to sell fizzy drinks , seeing as everyone was in hostile .
Mine was the cheapest so later I had a monopoly , sadly the prefects figured it out. I tried to sell it in many ways like keeping shit in my shoes , hat and what ever you could think of .
Then I recruited grade 8 kids to sell for me . I felt like al capone , prefects could not bust me , I later had money to buy PlayStation !
Them: Creates business with no work and somehow gets massive
Me: Puts time, effort and coco pops into business and it goes bankrupt
That’s sad
Féirín Hay :(
i used to live in western australia but recently we had to move. these videos give me so much nostalgia and remind me of the good ol days when my friends existed
u earned urself a sub
The Pens are all actually borrowed pens that was never returned back.
one of my close friends has a whole drawer full of identical stolen pens
No joke but a kid in my high school really does sell soft drinks like Fanta and Sprite
same
i- Darcy took his hat off...
that's how you know shit got serious
I miss the days when the boys would ask us a question at the end of the vid :(
I love how I understand every reference on this channel since I’m also Australian, it just sounds better to hear them say things like ‘woolies’ instead of ‘Walmart’
I’m still shocked anyone managed to actually do this. At my school you’d just get told “no i‘m not gonna pay for that lol”. I guess I just didnt have the ruthless confidence of a business person
My greatest business was in 4th grade. During class, I got up several times mid-lesson to get napkins from the cabinets in our classroom. I had a stack of green A4 paper in my desk too. I folded the paper into a paper boat/hat, and put the napkin in the hole where your head would go. I stapled through the napkin and paper so they became connected, then drew a smiley face on the napkin, so it looked like a little dude wearing a paper hat. I sold them by the name “Steve” for 10¢ each, and I think I made like 60¢ by bothering everyone to buy them. Looking back, wow was that a low price, and wow was the idea pretty dumb, but it made me happy at the time!
At my school there was a whole black market. There was sand tattoos all the way to spare lollie bags that never got eaten
like the lollie bags the birthday kid would give to everyone
Paradoxical yeah
😂 in grade 5 I would buy a pack of 10 pencils from the dollar store for 1$. Then I would shave the oarnge coating off with scissors, and draw cool designs on the bare wood with markers, and sell them 75cents each. And I would take special requests for designs or, ones with their name drawn cool on it for 1.50$
I remember I used to sell sketch books at school teachers found out and took all of my money and books away :(
Literally knew a kid just like this he sold 4 sticks of gum for a dollar. He gave mechanical pencil lead for homework answers and also gave out lunch money in return for double the next day. I think he's in jail now
And that my friend is the beginning of a drug cartel.
Then there's the kid that teaches you how to get around the school's computers' 'security' so you can play games.
Legit though; it used to be to just end a certain program via task manager and that's it. lol
It's probably changed by now.
nah its changed but if u use xbox game bar u still can
i use a VPN at my school and it works
My school blocked the Minecraft wiki, so we would use web archive to get past it. It would work fine until an update for the game came through, then it was all out of date.
We actually have this one rich kid who buys gum and sells it for double the price, but we still buy it because it’s convenient 😂
I love watching these guys it’s so relatable to South Africa and South African humor 😂😂
Their content only gets better, it's stunning.
I would literally hoard all the pens in primary school.
Same
Smart, then you hold a monopoly of work completion materials.
no one:
me scamming and taking advantage of preps
Lol I remember when teachers banned Pokémon cards because people would finesse the preps
Tobi Delgato YES HAHA
Ellis Dee go back to mummy
@Ellis Dee preps means preparation, it's the first year of primary school in a Australia do give year olds. They're not calling them a prep like they're preppy/nerdy lmfao
Australians: Don’t you mean Primary School? You live in Australia right?
Rirky it would of been secondary school
Middle school is a very americanised term, I don't even know wtf age group it means
Batty Battenberg Here in the US middle school is usually age 11-13/14, or 6th-8th grade.
Maxwell Cota in the few Aussie schools that have it it’s grade 7-9
We all serve the mighty algorithm here my friend
I used to lend people money for the canteen and then charge them interest at 10% a day. I was 12. nobody even questioned me once.
0:09 "ive got pens" I FKN LOVE THIS GUY 😂😂😂
that guy that donates 10$ that isnt from australia isnt on the patreon list anymore. where has he gone
he lost his job due to the virus 😭
@@danielgunz2364 😢
the reason i got suspended in primary school
how was i supposed to know the apples i was using to make juice were poisonous
Ivy Cooper please tell me you were known as poison Ivy from then on🤣🍺
Apparently I thought you needed yeast to make it... Got picked up for manufacturing hard cider, possession underage, and loads of other crap
JK, they never found out, AND I knew damn well what I was doing
Making a small business in the middle of school
China: oops I turned a small business big all over the world 😬
Holy shit that zooper dooper bit was hilarious, thanks for the tip
Also Darcy rips on that harmonica
I remember my middle school business. My mom had gotten a bunch of lollipops from someone. My sister didn't like them, my mom didn't really eat them, so I took all 25 of them and since they were design to look like bunnies, flowers, and butterfles I sold them for $1.25-1.50. Looking back at it now I could have sold them for more, and yea I sold them all and bought video games
when the year 7’s try to get “popular”:
Capitalism more like capitalisn’tem amirite guys
Cool
ok
Solid
The kids selling pens and shit then the other kid that sells weed
I learned a lot more about business from this video than I have from the Amazon drop shipping course I bought from a UA-cam ad.
The budget has risen a lot for this video
Someone should just lend these guys 1mil to make a movie lol
James And Max I would but I invested all mine in the yen and lost it all.
@@Vexbaddie unlucky my guy hope it is better
Hey, that’s the guy from the Minecraft but I don’t upgrade from wood series!!
10 years later he is now making videos about pens
I love the jazz music 💋 jazz music always makes me give a video a thumbs up no matter what the content is 💋
jaxon lost so much weight! looks great now, much respect mate keep going!!
I work at the stationary shop at school and it is less profitable than this, this is genius. (Luckily I don't get paid off sales)

primary school is year 1-6, middle school is 7-9, so it would be lower high school.

Dylan Shimmi ik...therefore not primary
@@krackedupkrabers5372 takin to the other guy.
Seeing his pockets FILLED WITH ZOOPER DOOPERS was the most surreal thing i've seen in a hot minute.
I used to sell origami in middle and elementary school. Since my parents wouldn’t let me have candy at home, I’d often spend the money at a vending machine at lunch and buy candy for me and my mate. He also had parents like mine so I’d teach him how to make things too so he could help. It was a great buisness venture. I’d also sell drawing as well but origami was my main selling point
i used to commission drawings and clay models. once some of my friends asked me to make them a friendship pizza out of clay where the pieces would come apart, and the didn’t even include me in it
back when i was 9, i used to sell small bouncy balls i got from those “vending machines” from those gas stations for like 20 cents each. i used to sell the more colourful balls for as much as 1.50 dollars and the more boring ones for 30 cents
Darcy got skills with that harmonica.
at school there was a lad who used his locker as his cookie/candy/beverages store that were at least half cheaper than what the school sells at their stand, he still made decent profit as well
Arnold and the harmonica...that’s what I needed to see today 😂
In Grade 4 me and another guy started a comic company. We made the comics ourselves and rented them for a nickel each. Called ourselves Classroom Comics and we did so well that we expanded into the class next door and hired on more authors.
We spent all the profits on cookies from the canteen for our staff at the end of the year. Dozens of cookies.
Back in 8th grade my friend ran a small convienence store out of his locker. He was buying candy, chips, and drinks from a local dollar store and selling them for a profit. He managed to make a decent amount of money before teachers found out and shut him down. True story
Can we just take a moment to appreciate Arnold's harmonica skills
This is the most specific humor but somehow it applies to everyone
0:53 the only time I’ve seen them break character, just added to the joke
Freshman year in high school, I made a ton doing people’s engineering 3D models, the teacher was bad and I was one of the ppl who actually knew how to do it.
