I feel a lot of businesses maybe set up as money laundering operations at least in part to cover small time drug sales especially where it would be relatively small transactions -anything from neighborhood restaurants, salons, and boutiques, extending to international rentals and sales of badly done action movies. Using optimistic estimates I can't figure out how most of them become revenue neutral - let alone profitable. We had a sewing machine shop apparently run by a biker gang - never saw anyone go in an buy anything. I think back on the Beanie Babies which we had scads of - some in original packaging - when we wanted to find a buyer of that $350 item - suddenly you find it is closer to $5 than $500. Curlie the Bear? $9000?! gobankingrates.com
