Makin' Scratch.

Captain CthulhuCaptain Cthulhu Registered User regular
edited July 2008 in Social Entropy++
Alright guys, I need to make some scratch, like super fast. In short, I need like $1500 approximately yesterday, or shit is going down*. Give me your ideas, SE++.

How do you make money fast?

Got some crazy thing you want me to do and post a video of on the internet for $20?

got some hidden secret money making scheme you keep hidden from the world? let's get me in on that.
*dramatization

Seriously though, do you guys ever find yourselves in a bind? What crazy things have you done to bail yourself out?

    I think I'm about to sell all my blood plasma so that I may make rent this month.
    If that fails, I'm going to suck off some hobos.

    Both of these.

    Anyone ever donate sperm? How weird is that? I have some pretty good genes, and I hear you can make some decent scratch that way.

    Also, I need to find some drug/sleep/smokers studies to participate in.

    Break into an old empty house that hasn't been gutted. Then proceed to stripping it of all its copper. Take the pipes and electrical wires. Throw the wires on a fire to burn the coating off. Then cut all of the copper piping into small bits. Call around to all local scrap yards and find the one with the highest buying price for copper. Take it there and profit.


    Or you can suck some dick. I hear park benches and public restrooms are where the action is.

    Spraypaint + number stencils + suburbs with curbs x $5 for house numbers on said curbs = cash money

    At least there was a guy here that did that and probably cleaned up.

    I've been making some serious side money doing basicalyl what I do at work (fixing computers, showing people how to use computers, ect...) but I posed some stuff in the local grocery stores. I charge half of what my work charges and get it done in like half the time because I don't have to follow idiotic proceadues and my boss isn't breathing down my neck.

    I just installed some RAM for a guy, took me 10 minutes total and I made $20 off of it.
