I have sold some plasma to get extra money to help out with spring break in college.
I haven’t done any of these, but I’d certainly consider a few if I really needed the cash. I’d open a pooper scooper company. It might not be glamorous, but it is certainly an honest way to make a living.
I have my mom’s gold and have toyed with the idea of selling it several times. Thanks for the reminder. That may pay the mortgage next month.
Thought about selling my sperm, but that was just too personal.
Never tried any of those…
Thanks for the original ideas, now where does my mom keep her gold… hmmmm.
The begging on a street corner would take a bit of courage… I’ve see a man do this and then drive his car home (or at least I assume he’s driving it home) later.
I’ve sold my plasma in the past and I was a guinea pig this year. I’ll probably do it again next year if a lucrative enough study is available.

I haven’t tried any. I wonder if I’ve lived at all!
Edwin’s got a point, though.
All of that is too crazy for my blood—I’ll stick to clipping coupons!
I haven’t done any of these, but there is an additional crazy way to make additional money… and it seems to be big in Japan:
women could sell their worn and dirty underware. I hear there are actually machines on the streets where you buy that.
i did not know that there are people that buy sperm.(not in my coutry anyways). i have always thought that men would give away theirs for free
I definitely was a Guinea pig in college; It was quite fun actually!
The pooper-scooper business where I am uses the slogan “#1 in the #2 business”
