i was at the thrift store the other day and they had an "Ednalite projection pointer" http://waywiser.fas.harvard.edu/objects/15548/ednalite-projection-pointer an impressively big and heavy device, it seemed kinda cool. i didn't know what it was and i was hoping it was a really early laser pointer but when i tried it it's just a bright light in an arrow shape i didnt buy it but still, not something i ever heard of and kinda cool to see

from what i understand, theres an app made by amazon that u can scan books and it'll tell you the approximate profit you'd make selling it on amazon so in the store, you can scan a book upc and if its enough profit you can just hit like "yes" or whatever right there in the app, and then u go and buy all the books u said yes to, box them up and send them off to amazon for the 'fulfilled by amazon' nonsense, and then sit back and watch the money roll in (from what ive heard the money will not roll in unless u basically treat it as a full time job)

you'll see people using their phone cameras for this but the serious people often have straight up legit laser barcode scanners hooked to their phones
