How To Make Money - As a Teen

Step 5Buy/Sell Video Games

Buy/Sell Video Games
Unfortunately for this one you do need to start with some money, about $30.

You'll also need a bike.

Now lets get started. First, wait until your city has a citywide garage sale day (or something like that where people would sell things they don't need). Individual neighborhoods will have these too sometimes. Go around and buy all the good cheap video games you can find.

When that is done, keep the ones you like (you were most likely going to buy one or two of those with the money you make here) and trade the ones you don't in to a local game store.

There is about a $10 average store credit for each game, and a $8 cash credit. as long as you bought the games for less then $8 you make money for practicality doing nothing!

As a teenage violinist (playing for 9 years now) who lives in a big city, i laugh at you - my way of getting money is waiting for summer, going to the town square, playing violin and getting more that 50 bucks per hour ;)

Umm, If I was you I would try either newegg.com or glyde.com, gamestop will probably give you about ten dollars, when glyde may give you 25

This is a really good one.  If you want to earn a little more, put some effort into it and sell them on eBay.

You don't need to put where the picture is from, wikipedia pictures are always under a GPL or something to that degree.
