What should I track on amazon?
http://camelcamelcamel.com/

What are good things to buy for longterm investments? Things that will be helpful and save money in the long run. Last example of something like this I purchased was a good safety razor or my cast iron skillet.

Where do you get your financial advice and how do you make more money? Do you have any bad investment stories and lessons you have learned from them?

WARNING: Do not post if you do not have money. You don't have to have a lot of money, but more than like a buck or two.

If you have money why don't you just buy things now instead of waiting for prices to fluctuate 20 cents

Because then I make money on spending money. Those 20 cents add, then I can buy something else AND make 20 cents again. Repeat this for money forever.

You're welcome, fellow money haver.

what to track on camelcamelcamel is a poor person question
waiting weeks and months for a 1-time purchase of something you want right now just to save $4 isnt in the same category as researching where you should invest your money

Right. Because I didn't make $6k the last time I stockpiled baby formula and resold it when US birthrates increased.

Buy low. Sell to the desperate.

I had several Marvel Comics Omnibus's or HC's that are now worth HUNDREDS, like Inferno, Iron Man Omnibus's, and those Punisher Max HC's. I've got a bunch of other HC's but they aren't worth 3-4 times what I paid for them like the one's mentioned. :shrug:

This is giving me a great business idea.

Any goon architects able to draft up plans for a scaled up needle with an eye roughly the size of a van?
I'll put down 1/5 on the camel, and with some research they cost maybe $10k for a healthy one. Anyone in for investing?
I'll also need a call list for a few thousand wealthy evangelicals in the U.S. -- shouldn't be hard.
