I need 500.00 by Friday!

!! I have two laptops (one works, one doesn’t), an external hard drive (doesn’t really work), two ipods mini’s (both working) that I can pawn if necessary. Do they check working condition? I have never pawned anything and don’t know if this will be enough…Does anyone have any other ideas?! I need at least $300.00 or they will take away my dog. Please help!!!

Typically they will check working condition as they can get more money from them. Others wise they would have to repair them and charge more, so they normally won’t take non-functioning electronics.

If you need $$ - sell the working laptop and the ipods, that should be able to get you atleast the 300. As silly as it seems, look around and see if they have blood donation centers or plasma centers - that can help.

What’s going on with your dog that you need 300 by Friday for?

I adopted her about four months ago after fostering her. I have attempted to pay for her twice, both times it fell through. Now I am back in school full time and have just left my job and am without any money for the time being. This is horrible timing!!! I will die if they take her away from me. I have other bills to that need to be paid. But I had to decide between my dog and electricity and I love my dog. I am going to take in the working computer and two ipods…I hope that will be enough. I have a very expensive watch that my father gave to me - about $2500, but the thought of trying to pawn something that I care about really hurts.

I have never been in such a desperate situation for money before. It is so difficult and scary.

I’ve been there 3 times in the last two years - I’ve sold almost everything I can spare (and them some). If you have any video games, old cell phone, books, ect… craig’s list or 3 day auction on Ebay may help too (do PayPal only sp you can put it directly into your bank account). Good luck.

put the items you want to sell on Craig’s list.
