View Full Version : how to come up with $1000
MisinformD 12-27-02, 06:30 PM you guys seem like a smart group of people (well most of you anyways :p ) share your ideas on how i can come up with $1,000 with only $100 to spend. i've got a couple months time to get this money and doesn't matter if the idea is legal or not, as long as it isn't too risky (no breaking into houses or armed robbery!)
:confused: so what do you have?
Are you male or female? :D

you could sell your inner organs :D
NenarTronian 12-27-02, 07:13 PM hm...100$ to spend...well, i guess buying drugs cheap and selling them higher is out of the question...since the initial investment would be pretty big...sorry can't help :(
Steal prescription medication and sell it on the street.

lube up and hit the streets
You could make a pretty penny beating the shit out of Fortune 500 execs if you're cute enough.
Otherwise, I'd sell a kidney.
lixluke 12-27-02, 07:47 PM a couple of months is a hell of alot of time.
sell drugs or somthing.
Buy some form of insurance and stage an accident.
Heh... just go to work..
In a couple of months you probably can earn 1000$..
MisinformD 12-28-02, 09:30 PM come one, is that all you got? i thought i'd hear you intellectuals tell me how to make a bag of flower smell like cocaine or how i can scam senior citizens (they're gonna die in a couple years anyways :) )
byy the way if any females are in need of a good time contact me!

Seems somewhat easy.
Get a job as a waiter. At $5/hour for 8 hours per day for 5 days per week and for 5 weeks will give you $1000.
Use your $100 to pay for meals and travel costs.
Of course if you already have a full time job then work evenings, nights, or weekends.
Of course if I know of other ways to achieve a 900% return on an investment over 2 months then you are probably the last person I would tell.

Inflation is a sadly true reality for most thirld world countries (which by the way is quite a discriminating epithet)
However, he would need more than $100 to start smuggling, or at least, to buy a plane ticket...;)
grazzhoppa 12-28-02, 10:04 PM pawn crap you don't need or,
Put on some sweat pants, a beater, and an old, big coat. Go out in the backyard, roll around for a couple hours. Run for an hour. Scream for 20 minutes. Then, find a coffee cup and go to your nearest street corner and sit down and ask people for money with your hoarse vioce. It might pay better than a job a Mickey D's.
Or instead of getting filthy, smelly, and hoarse put your best talent to work on the streets. People especially like steel drums, played Jamaican style.
Find a guide to pickpocketing.....

Well, my poor background in economics has shown me that that additional surplus of dollars will keep the inflation rates and/or raise them until hyperinflation. I have already lived that.
:p
He could invest that little money though, in one of these countries, and become a part of the gradual elimination of both problems. :)

Really? :( Which country are you from?
"He could invest that little money though, in one of these countries, and become a part of the gradual elimination of both problems. :)"
Is $100 really enough to do that?
When I am not at Trafalmadore, I live in Peru :)
I know $100 is not enough. My point is that he shouldn´t take advantage of the economic problem of another country just to make more money. That is unfair.
You seem to be waiting for someone to hand you the answer. The answer is, as has been said before, get a job and work for it.
MisinformD 12-28-02, 11:19 PM no that's not the answer. i can't land a job, seems no one wants a kid with burglary and "grand theft" (shoplifting) on his record. i'll have to wait until i get my record sealed at 18 to get a job.
hey joeman i forgot to ask - what are some good injuries to fake in an auto accident? does anyone check to see that you actually spend the money on medical expenses?
thanks

Not really. Insurance companies know all the tricks. It is not easy to out-smart them.
If there are really any easy ways to x10 your money in couple months, a lot of people would already be doing it.
Salvia Divinorum.
Salvia is a legal drug. Technically, it's most wide-spread use is as a plant. Plain and simple. Secondly, it's incense. For those in the know, it is a powerful hallucinogen. To get it to this state, however, one must extract. If you live in a major city (anywhere but Australia), this should not be too difficult. Now, because this is a public site I will not give away everything. Something tells me the mods would not be too fond of this. However, for those (outside Ausieland) willing to make a buck, here's the method (all prices in Canadian dollars, and what it cost me in Toronto):
The Costs:
Alcohol - $15
Special Cloth - $7
Thirty Grams of Dried Salvia Leaf - $35
Total Costs = $57
This could produce (choose one) roughly:
1) 15 grams of 5X extract
2) 12 grams of 8X extract
3) 10 grams of 10X extract
4) 7 grams of 15X extract
5) 4 grams of 20X extract
In Toronto shops, the prices are as follows:
One gram of 5X = $39
One gram of 7X = $45
One gram of 10X = $52
One gram of 15X = $65
One gram of 20X = Unknown. No such product is made in Toronto. Oh, except for by me.
Now, if you have normal market, the most frequently purchased product should be the 10 times extract. So let's do the math. You pay roughly $57.00 (though, you only pay for the cloth once) for the materials. You end up putting in about 40 minutes of work, max. You are left with 10 grams of 10 times extract. You could sell these for $52 each and have $520 dollars (with $463 profit) or you could be a little more popular and lower the price. My advise is for the 10X extract you sell for roughly $35 a gram. This let's you make $293 profit.
And how often can you do this? As often as you want, really. As long as the market holds (and if you know enough recreational drug users; believe me, it will), you can do it without problem. Oh, you might want to test each batch before you sell though.
And my advise? Supervise every first-time user you sell to. Salvia trips can be frightening to an amazing degree. And please, I beg of you, never let anyone's first trip be on anything above 10X extract. In fact, to be safe, try to keep away from the 20X extract. I know of not one person who has done it and returned. It's terrifying, most of the time.
You say you have a month to make $1000? In 3 weeks I made well over $600 from this. And I have to go to school. And I split my profits with 3 friends. And more less, all they did was provide an oven.
Now we get to the crux of the matter. The problem with having to wait till you were 18 was not mentioned up to this point. Yes, it does make it harder. So what are your skills? What can you do that people are willing to pay for?
If you have no skills, how about raking leaves, shoveling snow, odd jobs, ect. Use your powers of observation and ask folks if they want that taken care of. If they don't maybe they have something else they need done.
At 14, I built a stone flower planter the length of a back yard for some folks. I had visited my grandmother for the summer and was not known in the area. I husseled it for myself.
tastybrain 12-29-02, 01:17 PM photocopy your $100 nine or ten times.... walla!!!:D

Bebelina 12-29-02, 08:11 PM Find a computer graveyard, pick out all the gold components and sell them.

now there's a great idea! hey tyler can i get your email, i'd like you ask you some specifics (who do ya sell to, what instructions do you use? i haven't seen any recipes use the materials you listed)
my email is og6@ziplip.com
Distortion 01-13-03, 12:11 AM Great idea!..... right.
I would recommend you work off your bad reputation as honestly as you can, using all the ingenuity and determination you can muster. Read a few good books, get a decent job, and try to contribute something or at least earn your substance by genuine work and not by means of any 'easy money' scheme. Ultimately, you'll find that it is more rewarding - and money if infinitely better when you've earned it.
Of course, this is probably meaningless to you. But think about it.

I doubt most employers will expend the money/time to find out about your record. Lie.
The best way to earn money is legally. Lying is often legal; use that fact to your advantage.
