okay... now dont dismiss this as an insane request... But i have an obsession.. and the name of it... is Nine Inch Nails. Me and my friend bryan are desperate for cash... and we need to get to london to see the record release for the new album with teeth... it is on march 30th 31st.... the cost for two round trip tickets is 2648.28... now neither of us have any goddamn money... And we've been thinking... We dont plan on really living past thirty... and we both have huge infatuations with NIN... we are willing to part with one kidney each... as well as all the blood and semen we are legally and medically allowed to part with... but we've run into a problem.. we dont know where to sell it at!...now... honestly... someone please help us out....or give us good options... other than getting a job... bryan has one.. and i have no car.. so that wont work. but... yeah.. thank you in advance for your help.. xoxoxo

Or you both get a job or start some profitable activity that doesn't need much time (and capitals, obviously!), or you sell something valuable, or you ask somebody to lend you the money. Or you combine these three things together :P

If I find something more specific, I'll let you know :heh:

Lets see, you have about 2 months to collect the money. Here is how you can possibly make so much money in that amount of time.

Well, first of all, getting a job is probably the easiest. I make less than $6/hour and i work about 45-50 hours a week. This usually nets me about $450-500 every two weeks or about $1000 a month. If both of you have jobs, save money, then there you go.

Secondly, suck up to a parent who has a credit card. Beg and plead with them to allow you to use the credit card in order to purchase the tickets. Then, pay them back the money (along with a few limbs and your soul) over time til it gets paid off.

Finally, start swimming now. Its certainly cheaper...

Why don't you get a single ticket to begin with and you'll find some way of making money in London for your return???

Well what you need is a cheese sandwich that has the face of the Virgin mary in it.. That sold on ebay for some thing like $25,000 or something crazy like that! :roll: but other than that I can't help you... I have no idea how you can raise the funds.. that's a whole lotta cash!
If I had it I would give it to you and you know that, but I'm so far beyond broke it's not even funny!
Oh wait! I just thought of another suggestion... possibly setting up a website and asking strangers to send you $1 each.. this might sound crazy but I know a few stories where this has actually worked.. There was one guy that did this coz he wanted to buy an IPod and he actually raised the money for it.. the best one he got was a soldier who took a picture of himself holding the dollar he was gonna send him next to the hole they pulled Saddam Hussein out of.
Anyways That's all the advice I can give...
Good luck!

If I win the lottery anytime soon I'll let ya know! ;)

Do as Spiderman: pretend you're a wrestler to win cash. Wait, you need incredible superpowers for that... Marrying some heiress is easier!

Find somebody who knows trent Reznor personally. Suck up to them as much as possible. Party with them. Get them a lot of women or men, whichever the case may be (or both if they are into that sort of thing) and then while you are all completely drunk tell them your sob story. He/She will then hook you up. THANK YOU! *BOWS*

*points to above post* Surprisingly, the coin thing really does work. My sister was cleaning out her jar of coins (because we are so low on cash it's not even funny...) and she actually had nearly $200 bucks worth (yeah, she's "Loose-Change Woman" LOL).

Seriously, if you've got a bunch of coins and collect loose change (pennies, quarters, whatever), I'm sure you'd be able to get a reasonable amount and gain the rest of the money some other way.

Sell a small portion of your liver or something. Blackmail somebody you know has some "interesting" secrets to hide. Pretend you're a beggar and try to look miserable on Sunday mornings, better if outside some crowded and popular church. Find anything to sue Bill Gates, it won't be difficult to find something really bad any of his products has done to your brain: he's richer than you, it could be a good idea.
