The $39 Dollar Experiment

  • Posted by:
  • on May 2, 2006 at 7:46 am

Let’s say you drop $39 on a roll of stamps? Sure, you can use stamps to send letters to your friends, but we’re all more entrepreneurial than that. How are you going to flip your stamps to get more? Try sending letters to companies asking for free schwag. Apparently, they’re totally slutty, and will give stuff away for just a little attention.
