If you're having a difficult time getting money for the console how are you going to buy games? Also yes all get the warranty. Anyway i'd say stop using caps i'll give you a quarter,mowing lawns,cleaning peoples backyards,and going over to friends to help with chores.

Well I don't know how your family operates, but when I was your age, I wasn't given handouts either, so I would have to wait for a birthday or Christmas if I wanted anything, so I would just wait. I got a crappy allowance for doing chores, and I sucked at saving money. As soon as you turn 15 work for McDonalds.

depending on what "stuff" and borrowing from money from "people" that could be a very, very bad idea :lol: but what you said in your post TC, if you hate doing that stuff that much just think about why your doing it ;)

If you're 14 then yes you can get a job with your parents consent.

And please don't use all CAPS in your posts, it's rude...

You can get a job at 14. You can only work like 8 hours a week, but you can get one.

I think you'll regret selling stuff on Craigslist. If you're already on the site you could look up and see if anyone needs odd jobs done. When I was a kid I did yardwork for a chiropractors office that was near my house. They'd have me pull weeds, mow the lawn, whatever for a few hours on Saturdays and give me a 20. Old women always need things done. I've gotten to a point in my life where I just help them out for free because it's the right thing to do, but I imagine they'd give a kid a few dollars to help them out. That and widows can get really lonely so they just like to have someone around even if it's to plant their flowers.

make some cheap wine in your bath tub, Dont use too much anti freeze though, you cant sell to the dead!! unless your wine turns people into zombies and these zombies like the taste of anti-freeze. but then we have a whole new problem of antif reeze wine drinkin zombies and thats just bad news and we'll have to call in chuck norris to clean it up and he's not very cheap, so we'd have to use your money from selling the anti freeze wine to pay him! which brings you back to step number A. .

Put on some music and paint your house if your parents allow you to do it and try it with a friend or someone you know as well just don't use gloss for your first time.:?

Theres always painting to be done even if its a crap job its probably better then it was before.

umm... I don't think anyone would want to clean crap for a measly $5, try $15-$20 and you may have a few takers, I would say if your of age look for work, you'll make enough part time in 2-3 weeks to buy your 360, stay with the job and every paycheck you got money for games.

at fourteen, Im sure on the proper streets, people would be MORE than willing to give you money. Well, you might have to work a little bit on something hard.... People are always willing to pay for something that is illegal in almost all 50 states, 14 is age of consent in hawaii and idaho. If your willing to monica lewinsky some 50 year old fat dude, Im sure he will buy you an xbox.

Or, read books, study hard, get good grades, do good in school so you can make alot of money and buy all your own toys when your old enough.

I'd either ask (beg) your parents for it for xmas and then tell them you'll give them the money you have towards it if you have to, and you'll earn any extra that they'd want you to pay back.

Also you could use your 100 dollars and turn it into more if you're smart with it. I've looked for deals on the internet and then turned around and resold whatever it is for a profit. Sometimes it isn't much and sometimes you can find some really good deals but that's one other option anyway.

plenty of ways...

1. get a job

2. sell more of your stuff

3. if that's not enough, steal goods and sell those

4. borrow the money

5. ask your parents to give you the money (tell your dad that if he doesn't hand over the cash, you'll invite more strange people to your house from craig's list)

6. if that fails, demand it for christmas

7. if that fails, steal your dad's credit card

8. do trade-ins

9. get somone to buy you the 360 on finance and pay them back slowly, at interest

10. ask santa

Do what every other self respecting person does when they need money for something they want real bad.

prostitution, sell drugs, armed robberies or blow up atm machines.

The above is only a joke. DO NOT DO THIS.

If you are going to sell stuff. make it clear that there is no pickups. that way no one can come to your house. then just try to get more odd jobs.

First off. You WANT an X360. You dont NEED one. Got it? You'll be just fine, and world will keep on spining if you dont have one. When I was 14 my parents were broke & couldn't by me ****. It sucked, but thats the hand I was dealt.

Now I make more money than both of them combined. Do you know why? Because I WORKED. I found a job rolling newspapers in plastic at 3 o'clock in the morning to buy ****. I didnt sell stuff that my parents bought me that I had no right to sell, wait for christmas or beg for pocket money.

You want something in this world you have to go out there and ****** get it! If you want money, you have to provide a service in return...simple. Walk down the street and look around. What do you see that people would be prepared to pay you for, for a service you can provide?

Mow lawns...clean windows...wash cars...sell newspapers...sweep driveways...at 14 your 'skill sets' are pretty limited so you need to think about things that you can do well that people are willing to pay for. Wealthy people are a good start. They are often so busy at work they dont have time for other things like house work or washing their cars. If they are allready paying someone to do it, ask them how much, then halve it. Before you know it, they will be telling all their friends that some kid will wash their car for half the price that Mr carwasher is doing it for. This is exactly what I did at your age and made a killing.

Good luck.

Find something that you're good at and other people would be willing to pay for.

I use to wash cars when I was 12. Really, i've never been broke. I was trying to be a salesman at age 5 so getting money is in my blood. I don't know man. If you're good at something and its easy for you but hard for others to do, sell your services or the product you make.

If you can draw, draw pictures and sell them.

If you can make music, make music and sell it.

If you make crafts, make crafts and sell it.

If you're good at taking photos, sell photography services.

If you're good with video, sell video recording services.

If you are remotely skilled at doing anything, do it for money.

PS, its almost Christmas. Wait a few weeks and you'll probably have a decent amount of giftcards, cash or stuff you can sell for money.

well, prostitution maybe? old men are always looking for the next piece of a$$:P

or maybe a hostage situation! take your neighbour hostage and force their relatives to buy you a 360.

or, if you want a normal anwser, ask your parents for some money for christmas.

or pick up a paper rout. or something, i don't know. good luck anyway

cashlagoon.com. If you've got free time and want to do free offers then as long as you live in a country they cover you can earn some extra money. Good luck, I hope you get your 360!!!

I think GameStrata is running a raffle for an xbox 360 and they have a small tight community making it feasable that you could win.... Other then that get out there and work like the rest of us....And good luck man!

God if your that desperate for money I think wasting your money on a 360 is a bad idea, there are obviously better things you could be using they money on. Get a job like the rest of us and pay for things yourself. I have 2 jobs work 30 hours a week and go to high school. When I buy something like a new 360 pro i just bought for christmas, I feel alot more appreciation for it because I know I worked hard to obtain that... Selling off things is the last thing you want to do. Your going to want to play that DS again someday, and now you have to get money to buy a new one.

I know many people with a job at 14...even younger, dont be lazy.
