Is there anything stopping someone from doing this?

>muh arbitrage scheme

As long as you make no false claims. Calling it Green Future Earth Farm™ brand honey is not a false claim, but be careful with words that imply "organic," "all-natural" or whatever, unless it actually is.

Remember /biz/, you don't sell the steak, you sell the sizzle.

I read about a dude who wore overalls and a fishing hat and did just this. Bought shit and sold to hipsters for like 10X price

Time. Effort. Cost.
And most importantly making sure there is enough demand.

Nice try OP, but china already thought of that

90% of the honey in America is just flavored high fructose corn syrup.

ok, bear with me:

buy a case of shitty honey at Aldi: 40.00
buy a case of fancy hars: 10.00
Buy labels, ink for printer: 25.00

Total cost: 75.00

rent a booth at farmer's market: another 20.00
plus gas to farmers market

and your time to repackage and sell the shitty honey, plus you wont be able to answer the hipster questions on beekeeping and how you gently remove the honey without smoking the bees, and then anyone who knows their shit can taste the difference immediately.

how much do you think you can sell this case of shitty honey pretending its good honey for?
