No doubt this will create a fair amount of debate but here goes. We're running a bit short of cash. We've just bought a house which used up all our savings and we ended up using credit cards to bolster things. We've still got things that HAVE to be done on the new house, particularly before winter kicks in and I hate being in debt. We could muddle along for 6-12 months I'm sure and eventually settle things down but I hate being exposed in this way so I'm looking to make some cash quickly to clear the credit cards, get the urgent work completed and get us back with some rainy day money. I reckon about £5000 will see us sorted again, so not a huge amount. So, make money fast schemes. What have you tried and what seemed to work well. I've been considering ebay selling which looks OK, I've got plenty of storage and the principle seems to be sound, buy lots of stuff cheap and then sell it all sharpish. Obviously finding it cheap is where the money is made and there's plenty of tools to tell people what's selling well. We've both still got day jobs but can do plenty in the evenings and weekends. Anything else that's worked for you? I'm absolutely not afraid of hard graft and would have no issue with working a full day at work and then shooting off to another job in the evening if it sorted us out quickly. And by all means slander away if you think that's in order. Thanks for any helpful information.

If you are the same Samurai that used to have a page, years back in the STW mag? I used to enjoy your page back then, what about writing a book?

Do you have any old gold jewelery? 😉

Are you any good at online poker?

I do wish you'd contribute more often to threads with single erudite posts of such brilliance.
