I need to make $100 fast... Any ideas?
Anyone here got any ideas on how I could make $100 fast? I don't have anything worth anything to sell on Ebay. I can't take an extra job. I can't even get any sideline web design gigs right now.

Anybody here got any ideas?

1. Find a republican. Beat him/her up and take their money.

24. But
If your time is not being 100% utilized, it's a wasted resource. It's like selling produce, you can't hang on to it forever. If you don't sell it, it's gone forever. $100 worth of your time is actually worth zero if nobody is paying you.

3. Can you paint walls?
I'd give you $100 to paint my condo maybe more if you do prep and spackle.

6. I have an idea...
...but it's a virtual guarantee that you'll slap me across the face if I mention it.

Some things are better left unsaid.

17. Plasma's pretty good
Edited on Wed Jun-02-04 09:51 AM by supernova
plus you can donate every 72 hours I think, unlike whole blood which takes you 2 months to make more.

edit: Ditto platelets. If you have a large hospital nearby, it's worth seeing if they have a platelet program.

27. kick for the plasma
around here it's $20 the first time in a week, $30 the second. So if you go twice a week that's an extra $200 a month.

Still haven't gone myself yet, though I have friends who do regularly. I guess it takes about an hour, and you have to be hooked up the whole time (drains blood, removes plasma, returns blood). I know students who swear by it for both the cash and the forced study-time.

20. sell some books/music/movies to Half Price Books?
I think they buy just about any media of the above (cassettes, CDs, vinyl, VCR, DVD)

It won't be a lot of $$$, but it may be some....

22. Don't go to Half Price; the reward is negligible...instead go to...
Recycled Books and Records on the square in Denton. Look for the purple building.

I was dumbfounded at the mint they gave me there compared to Half Price!

Example-- something at Half Price I might get $7.50 to $12.50 for; Recycled gave between $40 and $60 bucks!

That'll get ya half the way there. If ya got some stuff in good shape, I would definitely look into em.

They're at Locust, and...crap I forget. Any nice Dentonites wanna help me out?

Thanks!

38. Rowlett!
We'll have to get everyone together before you leave. I was aiming for the Blue Mesa in Addison, but the thread kept sinking, and no one ver posted it on the front page to keep it active.

Let me know if you're interested, and I can try to re-schedule it.

SKINNER! Dude! Help me out!

21. Sell plasma.
You can usually make $25 for the first time you donate in a week and then $40 for the second. You can donate twice in 7 days, I think. It's not quite $100 bucks, but in two weeks you will have it!

29. You can sell a Ghost in a Coke Can
The last time someone did that they got several hundred bucks out of it on eBay.

It was either a haunted coke can or a demonic coke can.

36. Someone sold a coke can a few months back
It had a demon in it or something like that.

Your drawings are wonderful and you should sell one that you can part with. Mention it on DU and you will sell it I can guarantee that.

Good Luck

39. Another idea
BE a character -- have the person send a photo and draw/model the character to look just like him/her.

BTW, I think Misunderestimator would make a very interesting alien. :evilgrin:

"Enlarge your penis!!!" ...no, that's not it.

"Triple breast size!!!" ...no, that's not the one.

"South BEACH diet!!!" ...no.

...I'll have to get back to you. :)
