Big plans.

My father-in-law is a dreamer. He is a man who comes up with these plans or schemes to turn a little investment into wads of money. The problem is that many of his plans never make sense. For example he is constantly buying stuff at garage sales that he is convinces he can resell for more than he paid for it. His newest plan involves buying new stuff at stores like Wal-mart and then trying to resell it for more money at our local auction site. I try to tell him that it might work to sell used books and stuff like that but people wanting new stuff will just go to the store themselves. He won’t listen and is convinced that he is onto something big. Tonight he is heading to the auction to pick up the proceeds from his last sales attempt. I can only hope he at least breaks even on the items that he tried to sell. I am interested to hear how it all turns out for him.
