Misc $150,000 in one shot...

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
