1994, NFL experience. Vendors were giving away Emmitt Smith limited edition rookie cards. We took the giveaway cards and sold them to the card dealers in the sports card show right there for $50 a pop. We kept doing it until they recognized us and threw us out. Made a grand in 2 days. Easiest money I have ever made.

And TY, OP. Nonsense for it's own sake is not good.

Brag: First money I made was selling condoms out of my locker in JR. High.

Variance: The local planned parenthood office gave away condoms for free. I sold them for a quarter each.

Beat: This was at a private, catholic school and I got in some serious trouble when the principal found out. The gym teacher thought it was pretty funny though.

Not at age 13, I admit. And I serously doubt anyone who I sold them to needed them either.

Once a year there was this convention thing in my hometown and it was like 7 bucks to get in, so we asked all the people that were leaving if we could have their tickets and would sell them to people wanting to get in for a mad discount yo, serious bizness.

we even got busted once by the security dudes. must have looked funny, a crew of ten year olds getting padded down with their hands up on the wall. security was really trying hard to be badass. they took away about 40 tickets, but weren't allowed to take the cash we already made.

I've never seen this porn of which you speak. Lurker, plz sell me some tapes, I care to partake! Also, pics of the aforementioned fat chick would both delight and intrigue me.

Also, serious answer to op's questions, I've never even had a job before and don't look to in the immediate future. I tried to play poker before, but I suck at it and can barely beat 10 and 25NL.
