Misc $150,000 in one shot... - Page 6

Would you do it?

The small production line I run, on average, ruins 60 bottles for a myriad of reasons. Some just can't be helped. We have a new owner, who is Chinese, and I find out they are exporting every bottle for $200 (We buy the same bottle here in town for $3). So my thought is this. I say I get the production to 100%, and still report the 60 bottles as broken, but take them home, and over time accumulate enough for a couple pallets and ship them to Chineseistan?

One carton of 12 bottles of sparkling water nets $2400 dollars. One pallet has 64 cartons. After shipping costs, whatever that may be (probably what? 2000 bucks). That nets $151,000.

Even if I took home a six pack every day for six months. There is no security, we all are against our new owners, but still maintain our ability to keep our jobs.

FOR ONE ****ING PALLET OF SPARKLING WATER. $150,000

Would you?

Rain Man, you have any shipping vessel recommendations? Looking to maximize my profit to debt ratio

Sounds like money laundering. Getting caught would probably get your whole family dead. In jail at best. Unless you know someone already shipping stuff. You are going to have to pay 20k plus to ship. Not sure how you will get by their export customs.
