Trading places

I met this guy in line at Starbucks yesterday morning. He attended a local private school and you could tell he was one of the "haves" - nice clothes, smelled of his mothers milk and he was wearing Louis Viuton sneakers. He told me about how he started by paying $675 for a ticket to the Youth Ball and then how he traded that for 2 good seats at the swearing in ceramony. ( to someone who cared more about seeing Kanye West than being at the swearing in)He then sold one of those seats for $600 (a reasonable price to be that close) which he used to buy a $500 ticket to the Youth Ball. In the end, he ended up with a great seat the swearing in ceramony AND a ticket to the Youth Ball.
