Any ways of making money (<£100) in an easy but time consuming way?

I struggle to get sex for free, let alone asking them to pay me :p

I never really thought about buy/sell on ebay before, only ever one at a time lol. Will look at arb betting too but I imagine most of them are using models so similar to calculate the odds it's not worth bothering with.
 
I seen a guy on ebay selling coffee tables. They were just oak railway sleepers cut and stuck together! You can buy 1 sleeper for roughly £30, 2600mm long, he was selling these tables for about £120. Looked like very little effort went into them. Just 2x1000mm lengths for the top and 2x300mm for the legs, im guessing just put together with glue and wooden dowels. Few coats of varnish and whammy!

Was anyone buying them though?

Also with the whole ebay thing, unless you find products that are very cheap like one off special day events, you won't make much money, this is because the fees are very high and also there is so much competition.

I was looking into it 3 years ago but I found out to make profit on stuff like mobile phone accessories or video games, I had to buy them from abroad and then you have to add import duty on top of that.

The only way I could make profit is if I ordered 500+ or something like that.

Otherwise why would a buyer choose me over a top rated seller for a a few pence or pounds more. You really have to undercut them.
 
It's funny you should make this thread as just today I was 'trying out' a online roulette system/basic strategy. And it worked and got up to a couple of grand (I could have chosen to walk and withdraw it all) but then foolishly raised the stakes too high, which in hindsight can only end up in tears. :(

Broken dreams lol but I can't be bothered to try again as it is all to easy to up the stakes and lose your edge by betting silly amounts only to bet more silly amounts trying to reclaim lost credit. :p

If anyone plans on doing anything like I did just keep it to small £1 chips otherwise things just get out of hand. :o

Not really possible anymore, the 'free bets' offered by bookies now come with silly conditions that make it unlikely you'll actually profit from them. For example with Bet365 you have to go through your free bet and your original deposit 3 times before you can withdraw any profits from the free bets. Sure you can bet on heavy favourites but if just one loses you'll probably break even at best.
 
Ebay selling - absolutely.


There are shops that buy the unwanted items from charity shops. You can go here and buy huge boxes of CDs for less than a £1 each.

its amazing how many people will then buy the CDs on ebay.... every now and again you'll stumble on a collectable and make £20 on it.

As long as you are careful with your P&P you should be able to rack up £100 a month.

Actually even that's not entirely true, the odds have to be 1/2 or longer to qualify, so you can't stick £50 on Holland to beat San Marino at footy for example.

Depends on the bookmaker, but in my experience they all have 'conditions' to the free bets that make them not as attractive as they sound.

Some do it by limiting the minimum odds you can bet on, some do it by allowing you to bet on anything but make you go through the amount so many times even if you do bet on favourites odds are one will lose before you get through it.
 
I'm sure I saw a tv programme once about how women make money on the side by signing up to a sex chat line and taking calls. The calls usually range from 5 minutes to however long. Wonder if there is a male version so blokes get paid when women want a sex chat :p
