Dad's New Business Venture

[Nyboy]

My dad never calls to ask if I am busy at work, he just shows up with his dog. To make matters worse he will not leave his dog but waits for it. This means what ever is going on has to stop so his dog can be done.Today he showed up, I had a feeling he would, he is bring his dog to my sister's house Sunday. He placed a big bag on my desk and called my groomers in. He placed several watches and rings on desk and told them to pick out a watch. He said his cousin and him bought watches for $4 and rings for $2. They plan on selling watches for $5 and rings for $3. I said how many could you possibly sell at senior center. He said they plan to sell them to tourist . They live in a small city with no tourist, I just hope they don't plan to sell them on a street corner in NYC. Both men are in their 90s !!!!!!

Oh my, do you think they are stolen?

 

[Nyboy]

Not gonna make much money that way. Figuring the peddlers license and other expenses. 90 is a tough age. It might just be a phase he's going through. Suggest he run the idea through your sister so you can stay out of it.

There is a street called canal St filled with knock off designer items from china. Red I don't think there getting peddlers licence, more of a out of car trunk type sale.

Well, as my FIL used to say "A man's gotta have something to get up for in the morning."

Well, just make sure you remind him to declare his profits as income.

Stolen from China???

That made me laugh!

Does he have a special trench coat he can wear to display his items?

Old men in trench coats? I don't think so.
