Raise some money?

Dave!

hey folks,

I'm plannin on goin away for August, and I've worked out that I need roughly €2000 -- probably a bit more. At the moment, I've got about €700, cos I had to pay back a loan to my brother. I've got a job, but it's pretty sh*t pay, and I don't get many shifts unfortunately, so I'm lookin at €100-150 a week, I'd say. So if I'm being conservative, it looks like I'll be about €500 short. I don't REALLY want to get a loan, but I suppose I'll do it if I need to.

What would be better, though, is if ye could give me some ideas for alternative ways to raise the cash Maybe I could sell stuff online... like what? Cash in on aluminium cans?(if that can be done...)

Come on, I need some ideas, pleeease

There's probably already been a thread on this, but a search provides 20 pages, and I looked through 5 of them, and didn't see anythin.

Danke!

Think about doing some paint jobs for friends/family during the summer, and you'll get some money here and there.

If you have a car you can deliver pizzas/chinese or whatever they're allways looking for people and you can make 100 quid a night into your hand.

BTW to make money on alluminuim cans you'll need about a ton at a time,the bottom has fallen out ofthe alluminium scrap market becaus eof hese "recycling" initiatives.The good news is a ton is worth 1200 or thereabouts the bad news is its pretty much a lorry load of cans.

Have you ever thought about becoming a pimp? Easy money, meet lots of girls and most importantly pimps are cool. PM coolsmileygirl to get the ball rolling. LIsten Dave, just try it for a week even to see how you like it. No sweat if its not for you. at least you'll have tried. Good luck anyway with whatever you decide. xxx

You could sell things you already own. Like a ps2, xbox, the games that go with it, a tv, an old computer (you'd get a great price on the buy and sell, they're muppets on there!). You could also ask the local bar if they need a hand for a few days. Sell dvds too. Collect golf balls from the local club and sell 'em. There's loads of ways tbh.

Definately agree with this. Theres alot of potential cash lying around in the crap you don't use. I recently sold stackloads of spare things I had lying around the house, games, pc parts, whatever. Made 500 easily....

It's summer - have you a Safe Pass ? There's plenty of builders in need of labourers at this time of year.

Start up a Pyramid Scheme - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid_scheme

Or the last resort - become a Chugger *shudders*

some good oul ideas here! Keep em comin!

What I was thinking of doin was getting electronic schematics off the internet, and building some easy guitar effects pedals, and then selling them.

I tried to build one before, but only half-ass did it, so it didn't turn out great. But once I have the equipment, it's easy enough to do it! I'd have to make a few investments though, in tools and materials and so on, so I dunno if it's worth the risk
