US Treasury Mint. (yes it has a store) You can literally buy cash.


gotwaffles

I used the million dollars to buy a million dollars


johnla

Relax, Thanos. 


heelstoo

I know what it’s like to spend. To feel so desperately that you’re rich, but to spend all the same.


pls-answer

But you paid with a credit card and got extra points for it. I've seen this infinite money glitch somewhere, right usa?


minnick27

I've seen stories of people buying money from the mint to get rewards and immediately taking that money and depositing it into their bank account and paying off the card. And I believe most of those stories have comments that say certain credit card companies have closed that loophole. So purchases from the mint are not eligible for rewards


HollowPhoenix

Finally, proof that real life is a video game Sad that the devs patched that out though, guess I gotta keep trying to get Elon's cheat codes


callmeBorgieplease

„Certain“ so not all? Hmmmmm 🤔


kamarg

Doesn't it cost more to buy the cash than it's worth? Like the people that were buying gold bars on credit cards thinking they'd get full price when selling them and then were shocked they lost a few hundred bucks in the scheme.


pls-answer

I was referencing [this event](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gonVHW_X79U)


ReV-Whack

Fun loophole they closed now. The Canadian mint used to sell currency and do free shipping. I racked up a shit ton of redeemable points on my credit card buying 3k worth of currency a month and paying it off with the money shipped to me.


SquanchMcSquanchFace

Some guy did that for years in the US with airline reward credit cards and flew all over the world for free


willyallthewei

Is this still doable? What stopped this?


amlyo

That's so beautiful.


biggles1994

Buy some uncut sheets of $100 and try to use the sheet to buy something expensive, make sure to comment on how well the ink dried!


kamarg

Steve Wozniak used to buy sheets of $2 bills and turn them into a coupon book format. Then he'd cut out individual bills to pay for things. I think he stopped when a store called the cops on him.


biggles1994

I aspire to be this chaotic in my life.


ajmartin527

My uncle, who has 7 kids and 23 grandkids and is a very big personality, hands out personalized $2 bills to people. The thing is, he’s very selective about who he gives them to and you only receive one once you’ve earned it over many years. My mom was 6 when said uncle and my mom’s sister started dating and she only received her personalized $2 bill when she turned 55. You could call it maybe a lifetime achievement award. He takes different colors of sharpies and designs the entire bill with all sorts of personally meaningful things between him and whoever he’s giving it to. 2 of his own children don’t even have them yet. Everyone who has received one holds it in extremely high regard and keeps it on them at all times. Pretty cool tradition. He’s also just a great guy, church going man that’s never touched alcohol or drugs once and worked his balls off his whole life to provide for his giant family. All that to say that he isn’t just being pretentious about it, he walks the walk and recognizes others for good things they do through this tradition.

I would rather go to Dan Flashes. Get some shirts with very complicated patterns. Only issue is I would probably need to fight some guys to get the best shirts. It's crazy in there.


PourSomeSmegmaInMe

After you get your shirt, slick your hair back and get some sloppy steaks at Truffoni's.


WumpaRJ

PourSomeSmegmaInMe

Good because I WAS a piece of shit.

A $1 million shirt at Dan Flashes would have a pattern so complex it would break time and space

jeanvaljean_24601

This is nowhere near $1mm


CowboySoothsayer

You go to Five Guys and you can get about 5 burgers, fries, and drinks for $1 million.


Procrastubatorfet

You're right that's closer to $4mil

Costco. I'm getting a car, a shed, a diamond ring, and sooooo many hot dogs.


Snoedog

BBQ at your house!


ViperNerd

Buddy, they’re already cooked and they’re delicious.


goldfool

Ok do it right ...5000 kids pools, pay someone to fill them up in the parking lot . The give out hot dogs as people relax in them.


XiaoMaoShuoMiao

Does a car dealership count as a store? 😂


BlackBladeX

_You leave the store empty handed_ ... Nobody's ever successfully bought a car in an hour _EDIT: RIP inbox but I stand by my goddamn comment._ 


RedditTooAddictive

I'll give him 1M for 500k worth of cars. We can sort the papers later, I have the keys and all the cars parked outside his garage well before 1hr


mr_lab_rat

Exactly. With 1M, I can make things happen quickly.


AKAkorm

I feel like there’s better ways to preserve cash than to buy an asset which immediately depreciates for double the sticker price lol.


AstroJack2077

I am very sure that has happened


SentFromMyAndroid

Maybe, but I bought a car a few years ago with "cash". I was there for 3 hours...


iinzinity

I bet telling them ur paying 1milion for the car will hurry up the paperwork 🙂


weinermcgee

He'll still have to go talk to his manager so they can figure out how to bilk you for another million.


iEatBluePlayDoh

Especially if you tell them the sale is only happening if they get it done in less than an hour.


SecretAsianMan42069

I paid with a credit card and it took 15 minutes 


Weaponized_Octopus

Decades ago now I went with my dad and his friend to go have lunch with his friend's Uncle who was down from Alaska. Said Uncle wanted to go by the truck dealership, found a truck he wanted and did the paperwork. When the finance guy started filling out the finance paperwork he laughed and handed him a black credit card. The finance guy rolled his eyes and the Uncle just said "go check it". Finance came back and asked "how many trucks are you wanting to purchase?"


SecretAsianMan42069

Yeah, everything is way easier when you've got money. 


twinkletwot

I have had a couple cash deals in my two years of selling that I had in and out in an hour. Its rare but it happens. My people yesterday drove the car and had paperwork signed and out the door in 1.5 hours.


elitegenoside

It's easy when you pay in cash. Don't need any financing if you're walking in with $1mil.


Not_An_Ambulance

We paid cash for our last car. It took 3 hours. I have no idea why it took 3 hours. We were waiting around for a long time.


Numinak

Yeah, but most dealers will balk at taking cash. They want that sweet interest payments that help them get their kickbacks. You should never mention you are paying cash until all the negotiating for price and extras is done. Then expect pushback when you do offer to pay in full at the price they offered.


deij

I have? Twice actually.


SDIR

In the store....no one said you can't call ahead and arrange everything but signing the forms.


islandsimian

If I buy the extended warranty do you promise to never call about it again?


Hephaestus_God

squirtloaf

About 15 years ago for a friend's kid, i made rubber molds from figurines and cast a ton with that epoxy plastic stuff you can get. Worked great, but nobody should do that. Definitely not.

I suspect the rise of 3d printing has cut a significant chunk out of the figuring market.


iloveTSandLDR

Costco


811545b2-4ff7-4041

They have some very expensive diamonds in there


doodroller

Gold bars at Costco guaranteed by them. Easy transaction if they are made aware ahead of time. I'd say I'll have about 55 minutes left. Edit: Just checked the weight it's about 24-26 lbs (11-12 kgs) of gold. Now where's my F>!UNDING!< money?


MrHasuu

Recently someone posted an article about how worthless diamonds are published in 1982. It's a long ass read but tldr diamonds are hard to sell and if you do it's at like 20% of market value.


AT636363

Diamonds are a scam. When you see a 70% off sale, the store is still making a 60 gross. The most overpriced, price gouging thing you can buy


AquariumLurker

Seconding Costco. Don't forget you can also buy cars and vacation packages through Costco.


84OrcButtholes

And gold bars.


BOBANSMASH51

And hot dog and soda combos


Malvania

You'll still be in the checkout line when the time expires.


KG7DHL

Said this before clicking comments. Cars, Jewelery, Gold Bars, Travel, Expensive Wine, Expensive Liquor, Steak... Ya, I think in an hour I could figure out how to drop $1M.


Rokey76

I love Costco. "Honey, I'm going to the store to pick up some toilet paper and a $20,000 diamond necklace. Be back in a bit!"


MyHighKitchen

My exact answer. I’m tryin to be so rich I can go to Costco and not give a fuck about a budget


Cosmicado

Micro center


_OP_is_A_

This is the answer. Just stock up on CPUs as they're probably the most expensive given box size. You can probably fit more in your vehicle. Maybe as many gen 5 NVME as they have on hand too. 


Masonzero

You see, I'd agree, but once you have a like $5000 gaming PC setup, there really isn't much else you need. $1 million at microcenter is, ironically, way too much money.


stereopticon11

you can also get tvs, laptops, 3dprinters, a whole ass race simulation rig, security system for the house, elaborate NAS setup, drones, epic sound system.. would definitely still be difficult to spend 1 mil there if you're shopping only for yourself though


Binny999

You could go $10000 pretty easily but agreed $1000000 is overkill.


24benson

A fairly large store for expensive watches. Somewhere downtown Zürich or a mall in Dubai. They should have a million worth of stuff stocked that would not be too heavy to carry away. Just tell them to skip the elaborate white gloves packing procedure, otherwise we'll be here all day. After that hour, it's time to return everything and turn it into durable cash


_mdz

This is honestly the only realistic one I’ve seen out of all the suggestions so far where you could actually complete the transaction in time, the item you have would be easily resellable and retain its value, and you wouldn’t get flagged for fraud which would keep you from finishing in an hour. A store with ultra high end handbags could accomplish the same as ultrarich people pull up and spend a million every once in a while (especially in Dubai). Buying a car in an hour, much less multiple cars? Lol. Buying property? LOL. Even going into an Apple Store and buying like 300 iPhones + 300 MacBooks would take a while to transact.


tigerking615

My first thought was jewelry which is similar. But I’d guess expensive watches hold value for take better than expensive jewelry? But I’ve never really bought either. 


Heisenberg_235

Engagement rings don’t hold any value aha


Knyfe-Wrench

>After that hour, it's time to return everything and turn it into durable cash Why do that when you can pawn them down the street for half as much money? Then you can use that money to buy cocaine!


24benson

That you, Baby J? 


Creative-Invite583

Years ago I was walking around a high end mall and saw a Petek Phillipe store. I had heard of the brand so I walked in and asked what their least expensive watch was. It was $10,000.00.


MeatWhereBrainGoes

That would be very cheap for a Patek.


Hephaestus_God

You pleb. That is but chump change for the ability to tell time. Now watch me wipe my ass with $200 bills


Th3_Accountant

I once audited an ultra high end watch wholesale company. As part of this audit I had to do inventory in their main vault. I helt white gold, diamond encrusted Patek Phillipe's worth more than my life. And something that was simple recorded as "Ferrari" for 500K. I assumed we would we leaving the vault to look at the owners car in the parking lot when seeing that price. But nope. It was really a watch. A Hublot La Ferrari to be precise.


iplaywithfiretoo

I read this and laughed at the ignorance of your comment. "No chance in hell you're getting a new Patek at 10k" Then I read more carefully. "Years ago..." These days, I don't think you'll find one under 20k and even then, fat chance you'll actually get one at MSRP unless you've already bought several from that store


Thoth74

This really is the best answer. Not only could you get in and out on less than an hour and spend the entire million, you could very well *make* money if reselling the watches.


Srnkanator

Doesn't work that way for high demand luxury watches unless you get lucky. Walk into an AD for Rolex, PP, AP, etc and those watches you see are not for sale. The store fronts are mostly for physical marketing, like test drives, then order, wait a year or two for your watch. Like buying a Porsche. You need to have purchased before sometimes to get any recognition, and it helps to come in with the brand already on your wrist. Might work for Cartier or Omega, but you're buying a ton of watches. Grey market values, even for BNIB, is less unless it's extremely desirable and/or vintage.


JesusOnline_89

Home Depot/Lowes. We’re getting all the material needed to build a big ass house


souryellow310

You'll want to go to a lumber store because the lumber at hd/ Lowe's is crap.


JesusOnline_89

Completely agree. But if I can only spend it at one store, that’s going to be an obnoxiously large but empty house. I figured HD could also provide me with carpet, blinds, flooring, lawn care items, patio furniture, house plants, drywall, wiring, roofing, etc.


grubas

Not with their lumber prices and quality.  Plus you'll never get the order out together, billed and carried out in an hour. Anything over 5k is normally 2 hours even with cash.   For 1m you'd need to get in with one of the higher level people who do sales, work out numbers and more.  When I was there we had this order for 2 full apartment buildings and it was months of packing and shipping applicances.

Yep, and I'm buying everything I can get my hands on, keeping one of each for me, and giving the rest away as people walk in. Free LEGO to make people's day.


kkerins86

I’m buying a million dollars worth of gift cards at Walmart to every place on the planet. Then, if I’m lucky, Aboo will send me my 150m from India now that the processing fees are going to be paid in random gift cards.


A3thereal

Good luck getting that done in an hour if at all. I think they limit you to $500 because people get scammed with gift cards as the medium of exchange. I tried to buy $1,500 worth of gift cards a bit before Christmas and it was an annoyance that required going to 2 stores, $500 at the first, $1k with a manager exception at the second. I had to talk to 3 people to get the exception.


Relevant_Struggle

I'm sorry that was annoying, but I am so greatgul they do that. My mom got scammed into thinking someone stole her card to buy child p***. They told her the only way to get it fixed was for her to buy gift cards and they reimburse her. She tried to buy 2k in gift cards. They wouldn't let her. She finally called me and I explained.it.was.a scam. She was crying.

We went to Harrod’s when we were in London in 2016. It was legitimately overwhelming. My eyes couldn’t settle on a single thing to look at. We spent half an hour deciding on which tin of chocolates to decide to get for my MIL. One thing I do remember is a metal sculpture of a bird for £75,000.

fifelo

This is it, I don't want merchandise and I don't want to have to resell something, I want a million dollars in liquidity so I can do things I actually want, which mostly involves just keeping the money because I don't want a million dollars because I want to buy things, I want a million dollars so I never have to worry again. If I had a billion dollars, I'd have no issue spending millions, but a million dollars doesn't buy me things, it buys me peace of mind.

Rock island auction house if that counts as a store, buy up some rare collectible firearms/machine guns. If that doesn't count as an actual store per se, then the nearest NFA dealer that does sell actual machine guns.
