So, I'm broke, I'm too young to get a job, you know what tis meanz right? I can't get a ride to tourneyz.

So, I've been looking around my house for **** to sell, and the problem is, alot of it has been used. People don't like to buy used ****. So, I want a list of thingz that I can find lying around my house that isn't being used anymore that I can sell to make a quick buck.

Things I'm thinking are movies and bookz. Peepz, list teh stuff you would look around your house to sell to make some easy dough.

Dvd won't get really get you much unless you make shipping a lot, but if you have a lot of old video games, those sell pretty well. Especially SNES and N64 games. Some of them can go for a lot.

Some lady sold the right to change her baby daughter's name for $75,000. She ended up naming it GoldenPalace.com. You could sell something personal like that.

Any food item with Jesus or the Virgin Mary on it.
That actually made me think of the [stupid] girls, who tried selling their virginity on eBay. Not a good idea.

But yes, the Jesus pancake sold for a lot.

Stamping your library books.
Sell your dignity.

Just write on a peice of paper 'The owner of this certificate is the owner of *your name here*'s dignity.'

Sign it at the bottom.

You might sell more if your grammar was improved. :p

Kidney maybe? Or better, some used "****" like you said. If its worth buying, someone will want it.

By the way, Censor dodging is not a good idea...

Sell blood. If you have AB negative it goes for a decent price.

Be carefull going along those lines. I remember a Simpsons episode where Bart sold his soul to Millhouse for $5.00. Once he did that he couldn't get inside the Quick E Mart and lost his sense of humor.

On a serious note though do you have any classic toys? Could be Star War or Star Trek action figures. I saw on the news those always go like crazy on E-Bay. I think any kind of toy/action figure would work. Maybe even starting lineups that have the sports figures.

If you've got creative skill, make something and sell it. Paint, draw, I dunno. Or just ask your parents. Actually, you should probably ask them before selling anything anyway.

Of course, there are other options for kids too young for real jobs. Going by the forum's age requirement, you must be at least 13 or so, so you could do something like mow lawns, or you could be a paper boy. And there are some places that hire at young ages. I worked at a ball park that started hiring for certain positions at age 14, so you could get a summer job if you look in the right place.

And please, use "s", not "z". It hurts my sensibilities and eyes.

If there are any thrift stores around you, you can buy clothes and stuff for dirt cheap and sell them for more. There's a store around here called St. Vincent de Paul's, and almost everything in there is around a dollar. Check out Goodwill, Salvation Army, etc. While they have higher prices than the smaller thrift stores, they are still at reduced prices.

Myres got the right idea. I got a ring from a pawn shop for 150 dollars that I sold for 400.

Why not just ask your parents for money? Or do odd jobs for relatives or your friends parents.
i'd love to do an odd job to my friends mom ^.^

I think ebay isn't the way to go. If push comes to shove have Brawl money matches. If you are good you will be getting a ride to your next tourney with this plan :laugh:

I sell clothing that I no longer wear and jeans that I rip up and splatter with paint.

^Hahah. Those jeans will probably look like the same thing they sell in stores.

I never understood why people bought ruined clothing. It's sort of like "I'm trying to look cool by wearing ripped/paint-splattered/tire-marked clothes to make me look like I live on the edge and am hardcore or something, but really, the store did it for me."

I don't know, I never saw the point. I never want to look like a car just ran over me. Unripped jeans ftw.

I'm not sure why people buy them, but it sure is fun making them.
