As the saying goes, if you do something good, something good will happen to you in return. When I sold my $1700 PS3 for $1 on eBay, donated $1000 to the Salvation Army (from ad revenue on onedollarplaystation3.com), and also raised $250 (sold the one dollar bill on eBay) for the Cambodian Support Group last Christmas, I never wanted anything in return. My family and I are already fortunate enough to be sponsored to Canada from a war-torn country Cambodia. Not wanting anything in return, I still managed to hit the big karma.
The first karma that hit me was on March 29. I made a trip to Vancouver and I wanted to take my girlfriend to see the Canucks last home game. The game was sold out and I had to resource to eBay to get the tickets. The final bid for the tickets was $260 US and with shipping it came out to $320 CAD. I paid for the tickets through PayPal and received the tickets from the seller the next day. The seller checked out my feedback history on eBay and found out that I was the $1 PS3 guy. He quickly refunded my money and left a positive feedback on eBay saying: “Lets Keep This Going.!.Nice Guy Who’s Good To Others…Hope You Enjoyed The Game“. I told the seller he didn’t have to do that but he replied back saying he will not accept my money. I thought was very nice of him and I do hope he hits his karma.
The second karma that hit me was something I never expected to happen. It occurred sometime in February. A friend of mine that owned a soon-to-be franchise Asian fast food restaurant surprisingly offered to sell the business to me, and nobody else. The restaurant was bringing a good net profit at the end of the year. The way it was set up, it didn’t require a huge staff to run it. He had a good staff to run the joint for him and he only needed to show up for work once a week and was making a very good income from the business. I was curious why he was selling it, especifically to me. I would thought the company has to be making little money or no money at all, but after checking the business’ financial statement, I was blown away. Three weeks later my buddy and I bought the high profit turn-key business. To this day, I still wonder why he sold to sell the business to me. Does it has something to do with the $1 PS3 ordeal? Who knows…..

That’s awesome!! Great story and very motivating. We all need to do many more good deeds without expecting a “pay back”. Things have a way of making their way around somehow…
What goes around comes around!
Your such a positive guy and you probably deserved the good deeds. Whether you heard about it or not, but it’s called the “Laws of Attraction” in the universe. Put out there by a DVD called The Secret, I’ve also read books talking about this.
You have such a great outlook! If only more people felt the way you do and would do something about it we would be in a much better world!
I wish you luck and many returns in the future!
Indeed a good karma, that is why I believe in karma whether it’s bad or good. I think you just deserve all of it. More blessings to come^_^
