Does anybody know any good ways to earn some extra money? I've got some free time in the evenings and on weekends. I have a full time job as a .Net programmer. I think it'd be great to do some contract type programming but I have no idea where to get started with that.

If you're already good at programming I would scour sites and or forums that request programmers and charge an hourly fee. Don't you make enough $ as a .net programmer though?

Depends on the item. Some I break even when I consider the time I spent looking for the item, buying it, and selling (I calculate at $10/hour) and eBay/paypal/Andale fees. On many of them I make about 50-100% profit. Like the Nomad IICs, picked up 2 for $34 each, selling for over $50 each. It's all about luck in picking the right items. And never hold an inventory.

Yard sales are great too, as well as estate sales. I was playing around with antiques at one point but I gave that up since it's too time consuming.

Good months I've had profits of close to $1000, bad months maybe $20 or so when I've been busy or lazy and wasn't able to put up auctions. My main items are import games though, from Japan which I get when I go home.

Try a google search or the yellow pages. Plasma donation clinics are easier to find in the yellow pages. Also check for fliers in poor parts of town (really) or college newspapers. The plasma clinic we have here is in a shady part of town right smack in the middle of a lot of college housing.

Interesting, I guess thats more time consuming and risky than I want it to be. But I'm not starving for cash, could always use some more though.

No one else thinks bartending is good for tkdkid?

Bartending is supposed to get good tips.

Time consuming, yes, but most of it is time in front of my computer (which I do anyways) or driving (which I like) so I don't mind it. Beats flipping burgers at McDonalds for $7/hour. The only time I get pissed off is at the post office, I've switched to dropoff UPS so hopefully I can cut back on that. I think it's a good source of income for a no-job college student like me:p

Just "plasma donation"? Do they tell you if you'll be "compensated"?

I've always seen plasma donation in the paper. Either jobs or classifieds, i forget which. It clearly states what you get. Here it's $65 and takes about an hour of being hooked up to a machine so they can filter the plasma out.

I sold my sperm for a long time. 50 euro for a wank.
5 times a week ....

normally you could only go 2 times a week to the sperm clinic but because they work anonymous (and don't share information with the other clinics) I went to 2 additional clinics.
The first time they did some quality checks and when you were approved you get an ID number.

Easiest 200-250 euro per week EvAr

I probably have 300+ children running around somewhere :)
