Enterprising student cashes in on female graduates' discards

With graduation around the corner, college students are busy selling all kinds of articles they used in their dorms. An enterprising student in Beijing recently took advantage of this opportunity and made a fortune by selling quilts used by female graduates, reported Guangzhou Daily.

According to Xiao Long, a junior at the prestigious Tsinghua University, dozens of quilts he bought from graduating female students were sold out shortly after he advertised them online, and he made over 10,000 yuan ($1,600) in a day.

One of the buyers named Xiao Lei who bought two quilts at 800 yuan ($130) said, "It's such a bargain, because they were used by the girl I have adored for three years."
