Hello,

I wonder if there is a demand for student market. Like selling items to students.

How many of you have items to sell to students?

When I was a student, I was one of those "starving students". Students, in general are a terrible market, as they don't have any money.

I agree with YourDesign. Students spend all their money on booze and drugs and everyone knows it.

Asia:

I didn't get a credit card until AFTER college. Then they came by the dozens. It was like they knew I graduated. Mind you that was a few years ago (ahem), but it is basically still the same.

What did I need as a student? Money, time to study, and food. These are not things I would get online.

My roommates and I got our stuff for our place at garage sales, and donations from family. I knew about 200 or 300 people during my college years, and with exception of perhaps a dozen "rich" kids, we all were basically in the same boat.

I had two scholarships and financial aid that kept me going, but that is all it did. I occasionally had to take an odd job during the summer so that I could fun my extra-curricular activites. Otherwise, students are the poorest market there is.

Now TEENAGERS are a different story. Seems like all the teens I know nowadays have hundred dollar bills in their pockets, cell phones, and cars. I must have lived in the wrong generation.

And I thought someone was selling students in this thread.
