I need to make $100 fast... Any ideas?

[elfwitch]

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?

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

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

:evilgrin:

[Don_G]

2. Auction A Web Design Gig On eBay?

:shrug:

[elfwitch]

7. that is a nice idea but....

Something like that could run in to more than $100 worth of my time

[HFishbine]

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.

4. MUST... RESIST... MUST...

Must... not... give... dirty... answer... :hurts:

16. Rodney Dangerfield: "Hey honey, how'd you like to make $14 -the hard way?"

One of the best lines from Caddyshack. :D

[Dedalus]

5. Wouldn't you rather...

...make $200 dollars real slow?

[elfwitch]

10. Nope...

that's called a Payday

[MallRat]

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.

8. How about cutting a few lawns?

Or have a garage sale.

[elfwitch]

11. I live in an apartment

No lawnmower and no garage.

[Servo300]

9. Try and catch LOTS and LOTS of lightning bugs....

12. soLicit money through mass-spam maiLs

but make sure you cLaim to be of royaL bLood to the nigerian throne.

13. You can sell your plasma.... I think it is like $40 or something

[supernova]

17. Plasma's pretty good

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.

[cheezus]

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.

[DemOverseas]

14. Ask

......ten *friends* for ten bucks.

[GOPisEvil]

15. You could arrange a loan with a friend.

:-)

[elfwitch]

30. You are very sweet.

Alas my pride if far stronger than most of my other character traits.

[GOPisEvil]

35. I understand completely.

But, if push comes to shove, let me know.

[AndyP]

18. what is it for?

Maybe a 100 DUers could send you a dollar.

[Richardo]

19. For God's sake don't ask Kathleen Hickey!

:D

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....

[fudge stripe cookays]

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!

[Justitia]

31. Hey, great tip - thanks! I have a ton of stuff to go (moving soon). -eom

[fudge stripe cookays]

34. You're welcome! Where are you? Near DFW?

I am trying to plan an event for next weekend, but Skinner forgot when I asked him to post it on the main page!

[Justitia]

37. I'm in Frisco during the week, most weekends in Houston

I'll be moving to Houston full time probably in the middle of summer (great time to do some heavy lifting huh?).

Are u in the metroplex somewhere?

:hi:

[fudge stripe cookays]

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!

[Shananigans]

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!

[arwalden]

23. Oh Please Don't Let Me Discover You On TV's "COPS" With

a blurred-out face as their vice squad patrols the "other" side of town.

Good luck, sweetie!

[elfwitch]

32. thanks...

Had jobs for cash is out of the question.
But nice thought.

[Donkeyboy75]

25. You could take up the world's oldest profession.

Bad Donkey Boy! :spank:

[zbdent]

26. Ask Bush if he has two 10s for a 5. Repeat until at goal.

If you can't find Danny Quayle.

[pagerbear]

28. I have an idea

...but I'll have to charge you $200 for it.

[Lou_C]

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.

[elfwitch]

33. that is good...

I could sell a name my character type thingy.
Have hubby create a character and sell the right to name it.
Hmmmmmmm...
Would never work.

[Lou_C]

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

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

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:

[Robb]

40. You could work from home!

Let's see, I'm sure I've got that email around here somewheres....

"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. :)
