Any quick ways to get money?

[atheistgod1999]

I want to buy an AV Famicom and get it RGB modded (or get a bitchin' Analogue NT) soon, because I'm planning on completing a ton of good retro games this summer, starting with the NES/Famicom. So far, I've been using an NES toaster via composite on a BVM. It's alright, but I know I should get an RGB-modded AV Famicom (are most Famicom games in Japanese? Most I've seen are in English), a Disk System, and an NES-to-Famicom adapter. I also need at least a few hundred bucks to buy games.

Thing is, I don't have any money. I'm only 15 and I don't even have a work permit and my high school's about to close for the summer, so working at a place like McDonald's is out of the question. I have a Mastercard linked to a PayPal account, though, so I could make some money online. Any good places that aren't scams?

Do you have a conveniently located catholic church with a parochial house?
Failing that, why not contact president Obama via Twitter and tell him your age and that you require money, I'm sure he or his associates will endeavour to help you out.

Ban.

Boring. Try harder.

Try kickstarter.com, make up some shit and people will give you money for it. (it's legal!)

Step 1: Browse the internet until you find a banner ad saying that a housewife makes thousands of dollars a month working from home. Click on it.

Step 2: Pay a large amount of money via your mastercard in order to get your home business starter kit.

Step 3: Use the contents of your home business starter kit to try and convince friends and family to buy the same home business starter kit.

Step 4: ignore any unexplained recurring charges on your mastercard.

There are plenty of Nigerian princes who are more than willing to contribute toward your cause for a little bit of upfront investment. Just make sure you cross-reference their names against a list of Nigerian princes to avoid the scams.

First of all, I'm going to tell you that your big problem is that whenever there's something you want, you're trying to find some shortcut, some fast lane to success.

Life does not work that way. If you look for shortcuts, you're just going to get taken advantage of and end up worse off than you were before.


You could try looking up Amazon Mechanical Turk: basically Amazon runs a service where you perform some sort of menial task (rate some search results, transcribe a podcast, copy and paste things into web forms, etc.) for somewhat shady business clients, and if the client arbitrarily decides that he/she is satisfied with your work, you will receive a few cents (for most offers a single cent).

Prostitution.

Amazon has a lovely online sweatshop where you can make a sweet $6 an hour once a day.

Prostitution.

also, that

How much to kill a man?

[ratikal]

Steal from your parents.

Alternatively, mow lawns, lemonade stand, walk dogs, go to Market Basket and apply there.

Forget the Famicom! A young lad of your age should be out chasing girls. There's a thread all about girls on this very forum, maybe you can start your new adventure there.

[Satan]

The cops would probably kill him for a lemonade stand, these days.

If he learns Japanese quickly enough he can chase the delicious 2D girls people have mentioned in that thread.

1.) Go to Azura's Coast
2.) Find the Dwemer Ruin of Mzahnch
3.) Go east of that until you find a talking mudcrab
4.) Sell him all your unwanted Daedric Weapons or any item worth less than 10,000 gold. Wait a day to sell something else.

4+) If you want to sell him something worth more than 10,000 gold, sell him something worth 10,000 gold or less, and then go back to him a day later to buy it back. This way you should be able to sell something worth up to 20,000 gold.

Unfortunately, using this method will give the Mudcrab Merchant a full inventory, and trading with him quickly becomes a reminder of your inability to get rich while also amassing the world's largest collection of sharp baubles. You can always try pickpocketing him, though, or go work in the egg mines.

I'm too damn socially awkward for that. I don't even have any guy friends. Also, why did you automatically assume I'm a guy? I am a guy, but I could have been a girl, you sexist.

[Satan]

Yeah someone with a vagina posts on shmups' forum.

[Damocles]

Dude, is there not a 7-11 where you live? Or a Taco Bell without tempered glass in front of the registers?

[Xyga]

if he lacks experience i'd sugest to target the eldery first. they don't carry much but he risk is low.

I was able to save up thousands of dolars when I was 14/15 doing yard work, painting, lawn mowing and other odd jobs for neighbors. I paid for 2 backpacking trips to europe and bought a motorcycle with cash when I was 16. Just have to be ambitious

Why people come into this forum to troll? I don't understand this. This is a pretty fucking small and very niche community. Generally very informative and full with people that are actually interested in video games.

I don't understand why we people decide to join and troll here. Does the trolls just stand out so much because they are really so rarely here?

[MintyTheCat]

Quite silly - first we get this "learn Japanese ASAP to play famicom games" and now this.

I'm not trolling. I'm just an idiot, I guess.

You should definitely sell your butt.

[Shepardus]

I suggest, before asking your question on a forum (especially one that's not specialized in what you're asking about), you try googling for your answer, and also ask yourself, "if there were an easy way to earn money quickly, why isn't everybody doing that instead of working long hours in jobs they don't enjoy?"

[BIL]

You're young. Don't sweat it. Sell ur butt.

Also you need at least 5k posts in Off Topic before you can request help from the mammon lords of shumpsfarm. And even then, there will be a price. Though thankfully the good lord gave us two of most things.
