Looking to make something like $50-$75 extra bucks a week. Ive been ebaying old stuff of mine that I never use, but I am now running out of stuff to sell and I am going to miss the extra income. :(

What are some other ideas to make a little extra easy money?

Hobbies can turn into great sources of income when others need your skills. I could easily pocket an extra $500 a week if I wanted to work on people's cars on the weekend or evenings.

Throw up some computer repair adds at the wal-mart board?

If that is what you are good at and other people need your skills enough to pay for them then why not?

In all seriousness, this is a great option. I managed a pizza place for years. The drivers made way more money than anyone else and I was always blind when it came to them reporting their tips.

I have heard that tipping has gone down a good amount, but this is still a great way to pick up extra cash.

At the pizza place I worked at, my shift was 4:00PM (dinner prep) to 10:00PM (cutoff time for deliveries was 9:00PM, + closing duties). Got out in plenty of time to go to the bars or a friend's house and typically walked out of there with $42 pay + another $40-$80 in tips.

If you can get a part time job at a library I'd say go for that. It's been working for me since I was 14.

On the illicit side of things, I worked with a guy during my internship who sold drugs to almost the entire place of business. His boss would have fired him long before I showed up except then he'd have to find someone else to buy weed from. He made at least as much money selling drugs as he did working there.

My roommate freshman year made a killing selling drugs. Unfortunately he spent all of his money on drugs for himself, failed all of his classes, and got kicked out.

Personally, I'd go the legal route.

You're a runner. How about offering to run people's dogs? You can kill two birds with one stone.
