Have you even came up with a scam/loopholes way to make money?

I thought of this gift card loophole about 15 years ago and tried it when I was a teenager. It goes like this, CA law says stores have to give you cash for gift cards under $10. Id buy $100 Starbucks cards on eBay for $70. Split them into 11 gift cards and cash them out. At the time eBay gave you eBay bucks which added a 2 percent cash back.

I did it for a bit but getting a job at minimum wage made more in actual money. Also Starbucks employees would freak out when I went in with 10 giftcards
