sir trial a lot Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 Hi, I have decided its time to try and make myself some money but cant think of any good ideas. A paper round is out of the question as the waiting list is 100s of names long. I have put my name down but the man at the shop says that it will probably be atleast 6 months before the list gets to me so......... has anybody got any ideas for making a little bit of money for myself? any ideas just post away please!!!!!

CurtisRider Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 buy and sell shizzle on ebay ermmmmmm repair bikes for local people, find a local supplier so you get things at trade price and away you go, a box of 100 gear cables for instance costs about 16quid, so thats 16p per cable...then add your extras to it-easy money matey although you gotta sell a few/repair a few bikes :S its hard to help as we dont know whatya good at, tell us your strengths/weaknesses and someone may be able to suggest something <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrimp Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 (edited) Find a saturday job, if you dont already do chores around the house for pocket money/extra money, odd jobs for people e.g mowing lawns, washing cars, cleaning gardens. One kid in school sells sweets sounds silly but he makes a few bob doing that. Look after the pennies and the pounds come rolling in!

CurtisRider Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 you are supposed to be 18 to use ebay............but to f**k if you will ever get caught :) just use mummy and daddys account if you under 18-soooorted :sick: well thats if they are kind to let you ;) i know of people under 18 who have gotten away with it, as young as 14.....dunno how but they have anyway, if you need help finding a supplier, gimme a pm and ill contact mine who can pass some numbers onto you :- tis worth a shot, trouble is with that-you need money to make money........so again ebay is your friend-sell sum shizzle, buy some stock then sell that for profit! ive noticed that on ebay they are selling the little alu end caps for cables for a fiver or something for 25, when you can get a pack of 100 for a quid at trade price-easy money isnt it! and people buy them cos they only want a few and dont want the hassle of getting a big pack there are people with lots of money out there, find them and offer your services in whatever form you desire, but dont abuse it, as they will then come back :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hardman Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 Another one is to buy the lastest phones on a cheap contract and sell the phone on sim free. W800i I can get for free on 02 and pay £15 a month, thats £180 i pay for a year and I can sell the phone on ebay for £300 easliy thats a big profit. Order in more phones on each of my familly members names and do the same thats a massive profit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfboy Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 Hey I notice you're from blyth - my nan lives there - off the 'ook. Best way to make money in blyth is to become a property developer. Buy some shares in a local property development company* * note this does not constitute as finanacial advice, as property prices can rise and fall. Past performance is not a guide to future adventure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
