I Need Money NOW!! Any Suggestions?

OK, I'll spare you the details, but long story short I need about $200 before Sunday or I'll be in some serious trouble. Nothing illegal here, just my own stupidity and irresponsibility getting me in trouble with the landlord. I relied on someone who proved to be unreliable and got screwed in the end.
Now I'm out $200 and I need it back in the next 48 hours or I might not have a place to live next month.
So, aside from stealing it, does anyone have any realistic ideas on how to make some fast money?
 
Donate some plasma, that will get you half of the way if you do it twice. Sell anything you can on craigslist at a discounted price to be sure it moves fast. Im sure you have some bass gear to part with, it probably isnt something you want to do, but if your in that much of a bind, i say do it.
 
Go on Craigslist. You can make that money in a night, easily. I'm not going to tell you what you'd have to do, but if you see anyone refer to 'hugs' in their post... they're offering you money for sex. Drugs are 420, tina, skiing, etc. If you see any other unusual lingo, it's probably a euphemism for something drug/sex related, or otherwise illegal.

Easiest way is to sell some junk you own. But if you want to take on a little 'part time job,' don't be surprised when a mustachioed middle aged balding man with a paunch opens the door wearing a bathrobe, and nothing else, and tells you the cinder blocks he needs you to move are in the dunge- err, basement.

Funny thing is, if you look around craigslist, you will see a fair number of people who literally will advertise "need $500, will do anything." Oh, woe is the economy...

I don't wanna know how you know all this :eyebrow:
 
- Talk to the landlord
- Sell gear
- Pawn shop
- Extra work (a lil too urgent for that atm maybe?)
- Relatives (loan, gifts)
- Friends (loan)
- Bank (loan, credit)
- Beg (not that fun, but I am sure it'd be lukrative, a dollar here, and a dollar there during 2 full days..)
- Rob the bank

Good luck!
