Fast cash, fake deals, and the wildest hustle you’ve never heard of.
Sellin’ Out: True Stories From the White Van Speaker Scam is your all-access pass into one of the wildest underground hustles of the last 45 years. You cannot make these stories up.
Written by Craig and Kristy Riley, this raw, hilarious, and downright jaw-dropping book pulls back the curtain on the infamous white van speaker scam—a street-level sales operation that blurred the line between legal and shady. These aren’t recycled urban legends. These are true stories from the front lines: real cities, real characters, real chaos.
With chapter titles like The Brown Cocaine Story, Partying With Charlie Sheen, Bucket Full of Condoms and Get Your Drag Queen Ass Up and Come Talk to Me you can imagine how hard it will be to put this book down.
In this book you’ll discover:
- How normal dudes became speaker guys with a van full of "high-end" audio equipment
- What it was like to live on the road, waking up broke every day with zero leads
- The dirty tricks, the clever pitches, and the crazy guys who ran the show
- The most insane, outrageous, and downright stupid moments that actually happened
- Why some people got rich… and others got arrested
- And how the scam evolved and still to this day refuses to die
This isn’t a how-to book—it’s a how-we-did-it confession. From a wild night in a Mexican brothel, to a lifetime ban from Disney to waking up to a sawed-off shotgun. And that’s just the beginning.
Part Wolf of Wall Street, part The Dirt, and all true, Sellin’ Out will have you laughing, cringing, and questioning how any of this actually happened.
So if you’ve ever bought speakers out of a van, almost bought speakers out of a van, or just want to know how it’s even possible to make a living like this…
It’s the most fun you’ll ever have reading. Broken down into quick stories, perfect for readers and non-readers alike.
