I am not ebegging, thats pretty low. I just need to know if there are things people are looking for that I can sell them and raise this money. I have been out of work for the past couple weeks, and I have a bill due in a few days, was kid of expecting to be back to work last week but nope...or if anyone has quick methods for raising this small sum.

I do have an NES toploader that I have cleaned up, just no controllers or cables. It does work, I assure you. If you want it, I am asking $60 (gotta deal with shipping it). If you do not like yellowed systems, this one has some yellowing.

You don't need an NES toploader?

they give crappy deals as a rule, but a recent triple-a could be worth something. least that's how it works here; skyrim for ~€60, too buggy to play, got €30 for reselling it within the first few months of release.

Might take a sh*t on your pride, but I paid quite a few bills dumpster diving for recycling when I was unemployed, and there's always a chance you find something worth your time.
(on the same day I found a PS2 & 20 CIB games, and a handful of silver jewelry, both quick flips)

Most days I only made money on recycling though. $10 on a bad day, $60 on a good day.
Gotta do what you gotta do though.

If you need the cash that bad I'd sell grab a few more things to sell as there's a small chance that people are looking specifically for a top loader.

Also, what's the consequence of paying it late.  If you know that future work is coming then just pay it late with the late fee.

Going forward, I'd say try not to put yourself in a situation where if there is a lull in work that you can't pay your bills.  Maybe save some of each future paycheck for a rainy day.

Good Luck!

I am just anal about getting things paid that I literally freak out when I cant pay. Turns out I should be getting my tax refund tomorrow (if the IRS isn't lying), just in time to pay the bill.

Something you probably don't know about me is that I freak out about money, a lot. If I can not pay for something like a bill, I literally start freaking out.

I dont do repros anymore, I have moved onto Flash Carts, so much nicer.

And I got my thing taken care of. I had to do some unscrupulous things to get it (hack a wii or two) but I'm Ok...the things I have done.

Me too, it gives the worst anxiety I've ever felt in my life.

They cut my hours at my sales job so I called Department of Education and Volkswagen and told them and asked if I could get a deferment and they did until late April so I can have time to try and save up and also find a second job.
