Decent way to earn some cash?

Question

I am a teen in one of the average teen "crisis" situation. I have no money! Why do I need some cash? Well, 1st of all there are some books I need for school, and like many other people my family is in a tough situation where we cant go spending money on many extra things. 2nd, I have an aquarium that I need to buy some new equipment for, and be the situation, my parents can't help me buy anything anymore. Pretty much everyone in my neighborhood has a lawn care service or does it themselves. Nobody wants their dog walked either. The only source of income I get is when my uncle occasionally asks me to come over to pick weeds, which is like, once every 2 months, and I only get paid about 20 bucks no matter how long I work. My uncle also decided to hire the neighbor kid to mow his lawn instead of me, when I only live up the street from him. I've tried selling some things on eBay and craigslist but nobody ever buys. I'd also like to buy some extra things just for myself, if I ever get the cash. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

Go to your neighbors and offer to sell their things at a yard sale for a commission. You'll price it, tag it, and keep track of the money. Get everything organized, color code the items, and take 25% for doing so. Everyone has extra items and could use some extra cash. You need to sell about four times as much as you want to earn, but a good yard sale can earn hundreds of dollars in a day.

most are bogus... a couple pay a few dollars if you qualify... there is a legitimate company I occassionally do surveys for... but it is not an online company... you go in person if you qualife... if you are selected, you are paid in cash... usually $50 - $150 and usually averages $50 an hour... it is called Savitz Research... look them up. you would be better off collecting aluminum cans than doing online surveys.
