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.

Course you'll need to register. And FYI. You've got no chance in hell of getting enough for a PS2 and getting your social life on track. Leave the PS2 til Christmas and work on the "social life" tis more important to have mates than a healthy green glow.

The problem with the eBay "plan" is that even if you arre happy with the charges that they impose, you'll struggle to get it all sold and paid for by friday anyway.
One hundred lots will take a good few hours to list if you sell it all separately. Then the shortest auction you can do is two days. After the two days the winning bidders won't get their cheques to you for three or four days unless you are very lucky. Then you have to wait for them to clear...
And you'll be too busy faffing with bubblewrap and parcel tape to have time to play with your new PS2 on friday!
In all seriousness, you should check for similar items on eBay, and if you like the prices that they sell for, then go for it. But give yourself plenty of time to do this, as bidders will have more faith in listed items that look like the seller has taken care preparing the listings, and they'll sell for more...
Hope that's some help.
