At my school, you can make a racket if you're any good at cards.

What if I'm good at card magic? Would people tip me or do I have to gamble (not that I care is I do)? D:

Speaking of card tricks, here's a nice scam- I mean trick: Get a deck and have a dollar (or a coin depending on what they would be willing to call) and say, "Pick any card". They pick a card and you lay it face down by the rest of the pack. And you say, "I bet you [amount of money] the next card I flip over is yours!" While you say that, point at the pack but don't promise you'll flip from there. Then once they call you just flip over their card which was laying there by the side. And don't draw a crowd or people would figure it out and you won't be able to scam as many.

If they want it... why not sell it to them if they want to pay for it? 

Thats just sad... 

Its cause and effect... If people want something and there isn't enough to go around... a vacuum is created causing prices to go up... A basic in economy

Well, it's really their choice if they want to buy stuff from you or not--and if not, they only have to wait a few hours for school to end so they can go and buy it cheaper from a store--so it isn't really that manipulative.

Is it?

Exactly... its like you don't buy drumsticks (ice-cream for people in places where drumsticks don't exist) from a road-side stall because you know you can get them cheaper at the shops but some do because they think the extra money is worth it... Its all about personal choice.

You're not allowed to sell candy at my school, but kids do anyway. 

Personally, I've been thinking about selling TI-84 programs next year. I bet people would buy them, and I could even do custom deals. 

Do you mean scientific calculator programs?

I have never understood anything on a scientific calculator

I was talking more specifically about graphing calculators by Texas Instruments, which have their own version of BASIC built in that you can program them with. It's very simple to learn and incredibly useful.
