Okay, as the title says, I need tips on how to make money. I need about £250 by next Friday. I'm 15, so bare that in mind, and I have school, so a job can only be afternoon work. I will not:

Sell my body :cD
Use any stupid solutions
Tell you why I need the money

Just give me any way in which you have made this amount of money. I'm prepared to sell some of my stuff. I did try selling my 100 boxed Spectrum games, but the bloke in the shop (I asked three places!) said they are too OLD! OLD, so define Retro for me then. Retro is 1986 (my games were made then), they asked for 1994 stuff! Pfft. So I can't sell them unless I use eBay. So, get writing away and give me your tips.

You only have to pay E-Bay if your crap actually gets sold.
I sold a DVD to some moron for £25.01 and E-bay charged me something like £1.10.
The costs go up the more you add to your page and the more payment options you use.

You'll have to send me your games before I sell them though...

I got 100 games and a few consoles. I only want a personal check or Postal Orders, so it should be 'too expensive'

All depends on how much your junk sells for really. Best off reading the rules and regs n stuff.
