The video documents his sales strategy, setbacks, and final earnings. ### Key Points - **Challenge Setup** [00:02] — The creator plans to sell candy at school for one week, starting with a test run on Friday to gauge demand. - **Initial Purchase** [00:47] — He buys $30 worth of items from Dollar Store (now $1.25 store), expecting $12 profit if all sold. - **First Day Success** [01:02] — On Friday, he sells all his candy and chips within 10 minutes of second period, prompting him to scale up over the weekend. - **Scaling Up** [01:42] — He buys $100 worth of food from Costco, projecting $137.63 total profit. He also plans to sell Yeezys. - **Slow Monday** [03:06] — Monday sales are disappointing, only $19 in revenue. He decides to enlist friends to sell in multiple classes. - **Earthquake Disruption** [03:57] — A 6.4 magnitude earthquake hits, causing power outages and closing school for two days, derailing the challenge. - **Return and Final Days** [04:25] — He returns Thursday with limited stock, gives some to a friend who sells $3-4. Friday he makes $30 alone. - **Final Tally** [05:00] — Total earnings: $57 cash + $60.50 in change = $117.50. He failed to sell all food, with less than half sold. - **Scammed by Student** [05:27] — A student bought $10 worth of snacks on credit but refused to pay on Friday, teaching a lesson about trust. ### Conclusion The challenge failed due to an earthquake and a dishonest student, but the creator plans a part two if viewers request it. ## Transcript salesman in the world and I'm gonna see how much money I can make selling candy in just one week at school today is Thursday night so I'm gonna go get chips tomorrow to get a rough idea of how much food to get from Costco this weekend so gonna be a test for tomorrow so I know how much people actually want to buy to sell [Music] because dollar store is now dollar 25 store I hope to sell all this for 30 it does suck it's the dollar 25 store that cuts into profits a bit but I still will make about 12 profit if I sell all this why does it look like I'm crying and I woke up this morning with one goal to sell everything I had bought yesterday and I had a plan for this see so it is Friday so it is gonna be a short day meaning I only have three classes today I'm planning to sell all the food in my second class as soon as I step in my second class I'm gonna tell gonna show them the candy that I have in my backpack and hopefully they buy and needless to say my plan worked perfectly I sold all my candy and chips within 10 minutes of my second period And I knew I had to take advantage of this opportunity by over the weekend doing this okay so I'm about to head off to school next week it is currently Friday and I'm also going to sell these Yeezys I think I'm gonna buy about 30 worth of stuff of stuff thirty dollars worth of stuff thirty dollars thirty dollars no why did I choose to absolutely ball out and buy a hundred dollars worth of food when I because I think I could sell it all I would personally not recommend scaling on food after your first day of selling but I'm so confident that all this will if I did not sell all this food in one week I'll give it twenty dollars to one how you can win that later in the video if I fail got my Costco receipt right here now here I went over everything I bought how gonna sell it for but I'll save you some time and just tell you the profit I'll make on each item profit of thirty one dollars and for the rice krispie treats dollars and for the rice krispie treats right here 17 profit all right uh eight dollars and Thirty One cents profit it will be it will be 10.61 cents I'll make a total profit of 35 so if I profit of 137.63 and I like to sell stuff for probably end with about 120 profit that's not Revenue that's complete profit so I'm really excited it is currently Saturday right now so I'll see [Music] foreign disappointing 19 in revenue and that night I went to bed and thought how can I sell more candy and then a genius idea came to me I'll split this candy up with me and my friends and we go to all of our classes sell it and I'll give them a portion of the profit that they make so I fell asleep ready and for the first time excited for school tomorrow but unfortunately this happened a strong earthquake rocked the coast local officials say there is widespread damage the power of that 6.4 magnitude earthquake the Quake happened Tuesday morning at least two people have died and nearly a dozen others injured yeah I got hit with a 6.4 magnitude earthquake that left us without power for two days meaning I wouldn't have school today or tomorrow making this challenge basically impossible but I'm still gonna try when I go back to school on Thursday I didn't bring that much food to sell today but I did give some to my friend how much he sold I think it was about three or four dollars and I let him keep three or four dollars and I let him keep a dollar of what he made [Music] and today is our last day it is Friday the challenge but I'm still gonna try and sell a little bit of food by myself as you can see today I made thirty dollars which is not bad but not great so now let's count up how much we made this week so I ended with 57 in cash and ended with 60 and 50 cents counting change which obviously was very disappointing but again I only sold for three days I had failed my challenge after only three days of selling I came out of the challenge with less than half of my food sold and there's something I forgot to tell you guys about all week I've been giving people snacks and letting them pay me back the next day if always good until throughout the week somebody was buying a ton of stuff it of stuff and when I asked them to pay me on Friday aka the last day they said no annoying them about it it's like non-stop but he would not pay me no matter what so we got scammed out of ten dollars there and I guess the lesson is you just can't trust high schoolers and since I have so much food still I might do a part two if you guys want one then just comment below and also since I then just comment below your favorite part of the video and your Instagram username and I'll randomly select somebody and make sure to hit that out of this video then please hit that like button it helps out a lot and if hundred dollars an hour then watch this video right here but anyways thank you so much for watching I hope you have an amazing day peace
