I have two (2) tickets to Nick Cave on the 1st of March at Metro City.

Unfortunately I will be on stage at the Blue Room in Ubu Roi on that very same night.

They cost me $59 each plus a $7 phonecharge. Please someone by them off me!
$50 each.
Net loss: $25

(I'm not a very good scalper am I)

Interested parties email to heath.miller@iinet.net.au.

Sorry for going all Ebay on you all.

But it IS sort of theatre related.

Hey Alan, please explain!

I don't have access to that side of the brain and I can't work it out.

Hmmm...

Two tickets at $59.00 = $118.00
plus $7.00 phonecharge = $125.00 spent.

Selling for $50 each = $100.00 recouped.

Net loss = $25.00.


Sorry, Alan, but I'm not letting you do my tax returns.

BTW, have the tickets gone? We might be interested!

Hmm...
ONE ticket at $59.00 plus $7.00 phonecharge = $66.00 spent.

Selling for $50 = $50.00 recouped.

Net loss = $16.00.



Sorry to be taking the piss, Alan, but "genius" is one of those words..! I'm still not letting you do my tax returns...but do you wanna buy a cheap Honda?


Cheers,
Craig
