You don't have anything of value to sell a buddy for $500??? And I am not talking about stuff that may require years of therapy later...
Nope, I have my PS3 that I paid $56 for after doing a bunch of surveys and getting Amazon.com gift cards from the surveys, plus it's not worth that much anymore. My laptop isn't even worth 100 bucks anymore, the screen goes out, and you have to tap it so it comes back on. That's my only two expensive items I have.
How about I say I did and don't I'll pretend this is me and the other guy is a mayor: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDc6pvWF8uk
Yay, found 3 bucks in my wallet. I got an offer for you guys. I have 4-Get one FREE Guiltless Grill entrees for Chili's in exchange for helping me out. What a great offer
The PS3 is worth $200-300 depending on which version it is. What games do you have for it, and what version (40gb, 60gb, 80gb) is it? And what accessories do you have? If you're short $377, you may be able to get most of that just out of the PS3! Put it on eBay with a BIN @ $250 or $300 or whatever, instant PayPal payment only. Or maybe someone on here will buy it.
40GB-Gran Theft Auto (in Austin) Midnight Club LA, Gran Turismo 5, Call of Duty 4, 2 controllers (one is missing the R1 button), I don't really want to sell though, but I'll do what I have to. I don't do eBay, I'm afraid I'll get screwed over, so I stay away from it. I had a bluetooth I was giving away for free, but I don't know where it went, I probably took it home with me to ship out to someone from here.
You'll make it. There are guys on here who would be willing to buy some E-goodwill for that little scratch! It's important you know.
Interesting thread you started; obviously you meant it as a joke. Can't remember, did you post it on April Fools Day?
I just realized that if I ask my sister for money, only $100.00, i'll need 278.57 more. I really hope I'll make it. I'm honestly shaking, being negative thinking I won't make it.
Serious suggestion: go sell some plasma. I lived off that for years in college. Sorta felt like a second-hand vampire
No one else will help me at this moment. After tax day it seems like I'm paddling upstream, most of my friends are all broke as well, so I got nothing else to lose.
You do realize that this thread is probably the 7th or 9th craziest thing on the intarw3bs, right?? This is up there with Chocolate Rain in its absurdity.
I'll beat that one. About 25 years ago when I started in electronic field sales, I was REALLY poor. I had one dress shirt. I always got home about an hour before my room mate did and threw it in the wash. I dried and ironed it the next day before my room mate got home. Most of the time, that was the only thing in the wash!
Seriously What is going to happen if you dont make it ? Someone is going to be mad at you ? Oh no ! Come on... Its one thing to start this thread...another to make it seem like this is a big deal. its not a big deal regardless of your financial situation...why ? because there is no repercussion. The cops arent going to arrest you. No one is going to repossess your Playstation. NOTHING is going to happen. You are making it a big deal in your own mind. And I say the above as your friend.
Okay if we're going to post 'poor stories' I have ya'll beat I lived in my car for almost a year. I would go into 7-11 once per day and get a $.99 big bite and a kept refilling my big gulp. That was literally all I had for weeks at a time. I had no friends or family to go to for help. I was as on my own as you can get. no safety nets.
