Do this: Go to a neighboor hood(one where nobody knows you). Take a clipboard, A pen, and too wallets. The go from house to house asking for a dollar. Have some random things writen down on the board and if they try and look at it, suspiously hide it. Also whenever you get a dollar put it in wallet A. But if they ask to see how much you have made, show them wallet B, which you should have like 2 dollars in. This makes them think you are not making very much money and further compells them to give you more.
TIPS: Don't try this in a ghetto <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> Do it in a highend neighborhood, where peopel are more likely to have money in their wallets. Try and look poor.
Its kinda sad cause I made like 20$ this way <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
Does anyone have any GOOD ideas on how I could raise money for a laptop. I have a really crappy home computer and need something that actually works. Thx for the ideas (in advanced)

Some advice: Don't get a laptop to play games on. Laptops with good video cards are very expensive. To add insult to injury, laptops are also expensive to upgrade.
Consider purchasing a used laptop but be warned they tend to break easily. You may be better off getting a new one. Look for ones that have good warranties. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Try and find a laptop that you can pay for in installments. You will end up paying more in the end, but it's a lot easier on your wallet since you only pay something like £40 per month.

Walking around the city poking people with a sharp stick until they give you money is not a good idea.
That is all.

Sell a kidney.
Sell younger sibling into slavery.
Blackmail.
Frivolous lawsuite.
Become a mercenary.
Or you could just get a job like most people.
