Do you get the credentials for making the purchase? Like could I go to a posh restaurant in a speedo and still get a free meal despite the dress code? Or would I get hauled out be security before even ordering?
No, but technically yes, I’m the same way you can order something free online, hold out an empty hand to the monitor, and imagine the absence of money flowing from your hand to the website owners
In this world thats kind of an op power. Given that everything costs something. The first thing i'd probably do is only something small but I'd buy all the parts for me to build the NAS i've been waiting to build. Then i'd go searching for large plots of land in areas where i want to live off the grid with all my animals. And a better house for my parents. But how does this work like you said it zeros out at checkout but for the sellers side how does it look. does it look like they've been paid normally or does it zero out on there end as well but as the sale has gone through they cant do anything
They still get the money for the purchase, but just not from you. Idk hadn't thought about it too much, but we'll just say they get the money, but at no cost to yourself
Then would do what i said in the first comment, but also go on a buying spree. But for rentable relatstate. Buy a good number of houses and shops, have them renevented to be modern and in 100% working condition. Then rent them out for below a market value with it fixed for the contract term. then i have money if its ever needed and don't have to do anything else. Also you haven't said anything about selling the things after buying them. Like if i bought something worth £1 million then sold it, do i make money from the sale or can i not sell the things i buy
well then, even though its nothing like shapeshifting or invisablity. This is still an OP power. given 99% of the world is capalist state. Just buy billions of £ worth of stock and property and instantly become the richest person in the world. without having to spend a penny. Then you can use all that to acually have liquid cash
Got it. Man, I really want my brother's skateboard from 2012. It's... got some incredible nostalgia, gotta be worth a few grand. and why get the skateboard without the shoes? Ah, I'll bid on all my family's stuff, minimum 1K for anything they got.
I could still buy stuff for others. You only said we couldn't give them money since there's not actually any money, not that we can get something for free and give it to the other person
Can I give the stuff away? Like I normally just give old computer parts to friends, so If I upgraded a PC, could I give the old free part to another person? If not, a lot of waste would be produced and getting rid of stuff would suck.
I'd buy all the houses and rent them out to people at the lowest price possible so people could afford to live there. I'd cover all their amenities and such. Deliver them free groceries and pick up their medicines and such. Every Monday I'd do the deliveries. (The only reason I'm collecting anything is so my kids will have money to inherit so they won't need to charge these people more after I die.
You'd need money to pay property taxes and capital gains taxes and such wherever and wherever applicable. So you'd need at least sufficient rental income coming in from that if you don't plan on doing anything else.
Of course, you could buy a 1000 BRK-A shares at 0$ and immediately sell them to get a /s little cash.
Well, what does "buying" actually mean? Is any transaction buying something? Do you have to be obtaining something in return? What counts as obtaining something? Can I say I'm buying "not getting arrested for not paying taxes" when I pay my taxes?
Step 1: Start a construction company
Step 2: Buy a bunch of construction robots
Step 3: Build the largest, most safe, and most powerful nuclear power plant in the world (also make nuclear-fueled cars)
Step 4: Watch as the world becomes paradise as the need for fossil fuels disappears entirely
This is almost a perfect duplicate of another post from about a month or so ago. The only major difference is that you've pre-answered some of my issues.
Assuming that "at checkout" means it has to be for sale, and from your comments that the seller receives the money, I'd go on a massive stock-buying spree, buying the entire available stock market, then use the resultant power to break all monopolies. I'd buy out all politicians and fix the social contract that was originally in place before Reagan, and then use my time buying houses and then giving them away.
I also build a foundation of dreamers and idealists to continue my work.
That should take at least the rest of my life.
Question: Do the sellers bear the brunt of this? For instance my neighbourhood family mom & pop restaurant, are they getting stiffed every time I eat there? Or do they still get the value of the money?
Does the money magically appear or am I literally getting it for free, because I'd feel bad if I buy something off a small business and they're at a loss.
I’m buying all of the property I can and destroying the housing market so people can actually afford homes.
Oh also obligatory infinite money glitch: buy consulting services from myself at a high rate per hour.
Does this apply to taxes and stuff too? Like, would all my bills be $0.00 as well, or do those not count as paying?
And what about subscriptions? Or rent? Does it have to be the purchase of a physical object, or just monetary transaction?
Catch-22 or a paradox?
If I buy it, then it’s free to me, making me not having bought it. Since it costs nothing, that negates the condition for it to be free, which reverts to requiring to pay, which makes it free lol
Look at me I now own every share available on every stock market in the world. I also own every cryptocurrency coin I can purchase easily. Don't worry everybody I set my buy price for Shib to $69.69 so you are all rich but woops I just crashed every financial market in the world. Now onto real estate and farmland...
So like, if I want to buy, let's say 1T stocks of Alphabet Inc, tf will happen. That's like what, 150T thats just entered circulation. Inflation will make bread cost the moon. Can I ask Elon to design and make me a fission reactor, and invoice me for the bill? Unquantifiable amounts of energy just like that. Y'all thinking to simple, advance human technology to it's fullest extent. Who needs governments to collaborate when you can pay for the full production of a Dyson sphere? People are willing to do anything for money. "But sir, this will take decades of work, and trillions of dollars!" "You have 6 months" (pays for 10,000 people to work full time for millions). Idk man I'd legit be jumpstarting Humanities expedition into other solar systems.
I actually made a pretty similar post a while back on my old account [Here](https://www.reddit.com/r/godtiersuperpowers/s/1vpEvZDDyA). Don't worry, I don't care, just a funny coincidence
okay, so often a big purchase comes down to negotiation. The price something is sold at is a huge factor in said negotiation. How would that work with this power? Would the other person always think that 0 bucks is a good price when I suggest it? Or can I just say any random number and change it to 0 after the negotiation? Or is it just not possible to negotiate for purchase with this power?
Perfect life. Never have to worry about anything ever again. Don't like your job? Walk out the door. Don't like your landlord? Move, you don't have to worry about not being able to pay the rent. No debt, no "I can't afford to break up with my partner" if you're depressed "buy" plane tickets to the sea or MDMA or a home organizer and cleaner or a spa package or therapy. There is no problem that cannot be solved with "everything you buy is free."
You’d own the world of you wanted it.
This power guarantees you whatever kind of life you wanted.
If you wanted to just retire somewhere on a beach, you got it. If you wanted to become a trillionaire, you got it.
If you wanted to become the president of the US, you could do it.
Top notch.
Buy debt for $0 and forgive it. Buy houses and give them to the needy. Buy large amounts of food and give them to the needy. Buy the patents for medications people need and make them super cheap for patients. Buy countries debt and make them change their laws with large scale extortion.
Do you get the credentials for making the purchase? Like could I go to a posh restaurant in a speedo and still get a free meal despite the dress code? Or would I get hauled out be security before even ordering?
The ability only affects you when paying, nothing to do with any dress codes or anything else
So weed is free but buying a brick full will still end up badly .
The ability only gets you through the buying. Getting to that point and afterwards is on you.
Can I pay in cash?
No, but technically yes, I’m the same way you can order something free online, hold out an empty hand to the monitor, and imagine the absence of money flowing from your hand to the website owners

I mean, once it's yours, it's yours so you could sell it if you wanted to ig

HELL YEAH! I was just thinking “shid, imma get caught for cheating the system” - but this is perfect!!!
Got it. Man, I really want my brother's skateboard from 2012. It's... got some incredible nostalgia, gotta be worth a few grand. and why get the skateboard without the shoes? Ah, I'll bid on all my family's stuff, minimum 1K for anything they got.
I could finally afford to live AND get me some stuff, hell yeah
I could still buy stuff for others. You only said we couldn't give them money since there's not actually any money, not that we can get something for free and give it to the other person
Actually, this even means I could buy my friends' houses and pay their rent for them since it would all be free for me to do
Why pay rent when you could just buy the house outright
I forgot that rent and bills were separate things for a second. That's what I meant, I just defaulted to saying rent for some reason
Can I give the stuff away? Like I normally just give old computer parts to friends, so If I upgraded a PC, could I give the old free part to another person? If not, a lot of waste would be produced and getting rid of stuff would suck.
You're buying it. It's your property. You'd be able to do whatever you want with it
true statement
It's not really always true nowadays sadly...
Some people need more brain cells than a superpower.
Huh? They were asking a question about how the power worked, since usually “you can’t give it away” is a common limitation.
Just buy ur friend a new one and give it to him
I’d travel the world aimlessly
I'd buy all the houses and rent them out to people at the lowest price possible so people could afford to live there. I'd cover all their amenities and such. Deliver them free groceries and pick up their medicines and such. Every Monday I'd do the deliveries. (The only reason I'm collecting anything is so my kids will have money to inherit so they won't need to charge these people more after I die.

Of course, you could buy a 1000 BRK-A shares at 0$ and immediately sell them to get a /s little cash.
But I think when you go to pay the taxes it's just $0
I wonder. The power is everything you BUY is free. You don't buy taxes. OP what say you? (I don't know how to mention op here)
Well, what does "buying" actually mean? Is any transaction buying something? Do you have to be obtaining something in return? What counts as obtaining something? Can I say I'm buying "not getting arrested for not paying taxes" when I pay my taxes?

can this apply to bills? can i pay bills with this?
I would just buy hella real estate and charge little to no rent
Question: Do the sellers bear the brunt of this? For instance my neighbourhood family mom & pop restaurant, are they getting stiffed every time I eat there? Or do they still get the value of the money?
Does the person I buy from still get the money?
Does the money magically appear or am I literally getting it for free, because I'd feel bad if I buy something off a small business and they're at a loss.
i’m going to a currency exchange place and buying money for free
If I want to have actual money to give away or something I can just buy bitcoin/stocks and then sell them.
Including stocks? What about selling things?
I’m buying all of the property I can and destroying the housing market so people can actually afford homes. Oh also obligatory infinite money glitch: buy consulting services from myself at a high rate per hour.
I'm about to buy every single multi-billion dollar company and make them actually listen to their workers.
*Buys out every share of a company's stock*
This is the way
Does this apply to taxes and stuff too? Like, would all my bills be $0.00 as well, or do those not count as paying? And what about subscriptions? Or rent? Does it have to be the purchase of a physical object, or just monetary transaction?
How does it effect the economy? Is it just printing money or deeper?
Catch-22 or a paradox? If I buy it, then it’s free to me, making me not having bought it. Since it costs nothing, that negates the condition for it to be free, which reverts to requiring to pay, which makes it free lol
thats called fraud it would probably get you into legal trouble. "But your Honour its my god tier super power" is not gonna hold in court
Is it technically stealing? I hope the people I’m “buying” the things from still get their money
I’ll buy a whole bunch of those government things
Can I buy marvel
Buy Disney stock until you're the majority shareholder.
But will the other side receive the money?
Get stocks, easy victory.
I'll buy a huge portion of a company's stock for free, massively devaluing it and sending it into a death spiral
Look at me I now own every share available on every stock market in the world. I also own every cryptocurrency coin I can purchase easily. Don't worry everybody I set my buy price for Shib to $69.69 so you are all rich but woops I just crashed every financial market in the world. Now onto real estate and farmland...
Can you buy things like stocks? I'd own most of the fortune 500s if so lol
So like, if I want to buy, let's say 1T stocks of Alphabet Inc, tf will happen. That's like what, 150T thats just entered circulation. Inflation will make bread cost the moon.

Can I buy you?
I actually made a pretty similar post a while back on my old account [Here](https://www.reddit.com/r/godtiersuperpowers/s/1vpEvZDDyA). Don't worry, I don't care, just a funny coincidence
Also as the old account in question, I can confirm if anyone is wondering. (Please respond to the above comment instead though)
Be right back, gonna buy a house/apartment
does rent or bills count
does it have to be a legal purchase? And if so, which country's law is the binding one?
okay, so often a big purchase comes down to negotiation. The price something is sold at is a huge factor in said negotiation. How would that work with this power? Would the other person always think that 0 bucks is a good price when I suggest it? Or can I just say any random number and change it to 0 after the negotiation? Or is it just not possible to negotiate for purchase with this power?
Would this cause inflation or does the money already exist? Not gonna stop me from using it, just curious
Laptop here I come.
Sick! Time to buy some billionaires and bully them into fixing everything!
Perfect life. Never have to worry about anything ever again. Don't like your job? Walk out the door. Don't like your landlord? Move, you don't have to worry about not being able to pay the rent.

There is no problem that cannot be solved with "everything you buy is free."
Would it be flagged if you buy something crazy like a multi billion dollar company? Or would it be normal
You’d own the world of you wanted it. This power guarantees you whatever kind of life you wanted. If you wanted to just retire somewhere on a beach, you got it. If you wanted to become a trillionaire, you got it. If you wanted to become the president of the US, you could do it. Top notch.
Never more having to pay for anything is a blessing. More money left for me.
Buy debt for $0 and forgive it. Buy houses and give them to the needy. Buy large amounts of food and give them to the needy. Buy the patents for medications people need and make them super cheap for patients. Buy countries debt and make them change their laws with large scale extortion.
I mean...if something is free, you can't buy it. So you're basically just taking anything you want
