Ever see a copy of The Savage Nation in the politics or current events section? Ever see one of Anne Coulter's books there? Well I have, and I've made sure to take them to their proper section of the store. Anyone who has ever read Coulter or Savage can attest that these individuals clearly aren't real political pundits. Not only are they assholes, but they don't appear to be making an effort to be taken seriously. Make sure to re-stock books such as these into the humor section where they belong! While you are there, pick up some copies of Al Franken's Lies And The Lying Liars That Tell Them (or any other book you see fit) and put those in the political section. Franken may be funny, but he is even more political.
I've done this for awhile, but the problem I always had was that chain book-stores have everything computerized and people looking for a book such as Lies won't find the right section when the computer tells them where to go (because they've been re-stocked...), so make sure to leave at least one copy in the original section.
Also, click here for a pdf of bookmarks you can download and cut out your own "re-stocked" bookmarks that you should place in each book you re-stock.

There is actually a website for this "movement." Visit www.re-stock.co.uk for more information.

Whenever you see a Starbucks logo, make sure to deface it!


What a great flaw in such a ubiquitous logo.

Visit www.starbuckscoffee.co.uk (anti-starbucks website) before they get shut down, which will most likely be soon. Freedom of speech? Sure, as long as it's appoved by the multi-national corporations.

Here is a great scam with no risk. I had the idea for it while at a thrift store looking at the books they had. I was surprised at how many books they had in great condition. I've come to notice that there are often books being sold cheap in thrift stores that are still being sold in new bookstores! If you find one in good condition*, buy it from the thrift store and "return" it to a chain-store for store credit**. Thrift store books typically cost a dollar and when you return a book at a chain store it's typically $15-$25 in store credit. Nice deal! It sure beats the risky 5-finger-discount method. Since you are a "paying customer", you can browse around normally and LEGALLY pay for your books (or movies, etc.) with the little card (of store credit) they give you. You don't even have to buy anything at the same time, the card works just like a gift card. Merry Christmas!



*On finding good thrift store books:
Only get books in excellent condition. Stay away from hardcover fiction unless you are sure the book is still being printed in hardcover. A chain store wont take a book that they don't sell anymore. Check the date the book was published, the newer the better. Also check when the thrift store recieved the book. They often put a little sticker on the book with a date on it. Now that you have an inventory of books to exchange go online to the store's website which you plan on returning the books to. Look up the books and make sure they still sell them and that they are the same edition (ie: paperback vs. hardback, revised editions, etc.). You are bound to have some books that the chain stores no longer sell. Don't worry, take those books to all the used-bookstores you can think of. They might turn pass on taking some of them, but ones you can't get rid of should just be tried at another used-bookstore. The used-bookstore will ask if you want cash or store-credit for your books. Get store credit, it you get cash they will give you only 2/3 the money you would get if you opted for credit. Now, use your store credit for find a cheap book (in good condition) that you know they still sell at the chain-stores. This should be extremely easy. Now just take those books you got from the used-bookstore to the chain-stores as well. If you have enough money and don't want to spend the time, you can always just skip the thrift-store part and buy a used-bookstore book to "return" to the chain store. But, I reccomend checking out the thrift stores first; even if you only find one book you can use, it is worth it because thrift store books are so cheap. (I know somebody who found a thrift store book worth $29 once and during in one week using two visits to thrift stores they made $80+ in store credit!)

**On "returning" books:
Make sure the book you are returning is being sold at the store you are returning it to! Then take the book inside to where the "returns" counter is. Say "I just got these books as a gift and I wanted to exchange them for something else, I don't have a receipt". They never care if you have a receipt or not. The only way they might turn you down is if they look into their database and see if they have sold any recently. It all depends on the store and who is behind the counter. Sometimes they just give you credit, sometimes they look up if the book has been sold recently before they give you credit and sometimes they say "nobody has bought that book at this store recently, we can't exchange it." Then just say "ok, thanks, my mom must have gotten it somewhere else" and leave. Then try another chain store. If you do this scam often, don't take it to the same location each time! They might recognize you and catch on. Just make your rounds and when you take something back to a store you have already returned books to, make sure you get a different cashier to return them for you. Also, the manager is sometimes asked to come in and approve the return, don't worry, he will most likely approve it, but remember that if you hit up the same store too often he will probably remember you!

I know somebody who plays new video games for free. Heres how he does it:

1) First off, you actually have to have a new video game of your own, or purchase one. It doesn't matter if it's opened, it just has to be a "new" game that still is sold for $49 (the price for new games).

2) When you get bored of the game, or find one that you would rather have, take back the game to the store and say it wasn't working right and you want to get a replacement for the SAME game. They won't think you are lying because you aren't gaining anything new by replacing the same game. They will simply take your word for it and give you a freshly packaged version of the same game and take your "broken one" in exchange.

3) Now, go to a different store and say that you got that freshly packaged, never been opened game, but you want to trade it for a different one. Viola. You have traded in your game for a brand new one that just came out... for free!

You can do it every few months. Make sure not to let your new game get "old" or the price will go down!
