no:

manwhoring
table-waiting
ebay selling


so, anyone got any ideas? this is the off season for my kickass job, and i really need money.

i want to build me a second computer, this one will only cost 350 or so, as opposed to the 1700 that my current one cost.

So you can only work for that one week? I really don't know man......if you were a trained (and good) bartender, then maybe some hot bar would want you for a week, but otherwise, I don't know anything else fast and easy that would let you work for just a week.

Pawn shop. They will rip you off, but you'll get your money if you sell everything you own.

"CD Exchange" or local equivalent. CD Exchange has about a dozen stores in my city. They sell only used CDs. They will give you $4 per CD, no questions asked. <-they sell them for $8-$10 which is way cheaper than what you pay for them new.

Can you sing, or play an instrument? I hear that street musicians can do OK, as long as you're located in a high-traffic tourist location.

Be the robot man on the street. You know the one with silver paint and moves like a robot.

If you go to a university, sometimes they offer cash incentives for participating in experiments.

Yup. Check your psychology department for some quick cash.

why don't you sell parts of your old computer and downgrade? i.e if you have a ti4600 downgrade to a gf3 and make like $100 off of that. maybe that's ebay but sometimes fs/ft is good for that too.
