Outlet abuse
Living 15 minutes away from a Nike and Adidas outlet was literally a money printer.
It was even better being able to take advantage of the minimum wage employees, sometimes all it took was a $50 tip for access to their employee account.
I got in the pocket of an Adidas store manager who would solely send stuff from the warehouse that was extremely discounted, have it marked with my name, and kept in the back of the store for me to purchase only.
On top of that, he gave me access to his employee account, which took 50% off of anything. Even already discounted items during their 50% off sale.
I was buying ultra boosts for $45, NMD for $30, etc.
I would then sell these on Amazon for 150 to 200% for profit margin.
I spent roughly $600,000 in a three month period on this guy‘s account, which resulted in him losing his job.
I would go to the casino, in person or online, lose $10,000, place an order on Adidas with the discount, and know that I made it all back and then some.
