Sorry - I don't really get it. BTW - I saved hundred$ today buying William's Explosion - it was marked way down from the price when it was new. Now, I almost have the market corned on 145-148 litre boards. Windsurf shopping math is fun!

That's not how it works. You didn't save hundreds, you made hundreds and with those hundreds, you can go buy more boards or kites. Rinse, repeat, profit! Biggrin

Re: How to make money windsurfing

The best part is that you couple this strategy with negative interest rates and arbitrage the price. Just go to the bank and say you want a 10 year loan at -10% for $1000. You promise to pay back nothing to them in ten years. They check your credit report and see you are good for nothing, so they make the loan. Then you go buy a bunch of discounted windsurfing gear, and make hundreds or even thousands on your original investment of nothing. The best part - you can sell it all on Craig's List. For ex, buy a 20 year old $50 board from a listing on Wind$urfAtlanta.org , put on CL for 95% of its original price (say $999) and sell it for a big profit. Pretty awesome, huh?

I was thinking more of being a Investment Banker, or better yet, running a Ponzi Scheme.
