How would you maximise 50GBP to return you the most amont of cash in 4 weeks?

[Johnny blaze]

I have a spare 50 quid (I know, you are all green with envy that I have so much cash to play with). I

would simply like to know how I can make that cash work for me in 4 weeks, I would like an ingenious way of maximising the returns I can make on it.

For example What can I buy for 50 pounds, then sell tomorrow for 100 pounds? even from abroad.

Or where can I invest 50 quid , do nothing for 4 weeks then pick up a lump sum of 100 pounds.

I meet someone yesterday who offererd me certain 'non-prescribed' pills for 3 pounds each.. I could then sell them easily for 10 pounds each in my local club.... HOWEVER I have no intentions of doing 6 years for supplying.

Suggestions and ideas therefore must be legal, if you know of a suggestion like in the paragraph above but totally legal, that would be perfect to maximise my cash.

Any ideas please?

Well if we knew the answer we would all be rich .. I suppose gambling or shares are the best bet. I have got a spare fifty quid too ... so will await the replies !!

We did a project like this at the Girl Guides years ago. The girls were all given �5 and told to maximise it over a month. You had to use the money to make something and sell it on rather than just make extra on top by doing some babysitting or a sponsored walk. Some of the girls made quite a bit by making home made sweets and selling them to friends and family. In the US the Girl Scouts make money by selling cookies. Don't know what impact the EU food safety laws would have these days though - as even the WI are not allowed make cakes to give out at local hospitals now.

Spend the next ten years learning about antiques then visit your local Car Boot sale looking for Claris Clift or Tiffany.

Lend the money to someone really desperate at an inflated interest rate or buy �50 worth of low cost potatoes from a farmer to hawk around the doors at three times the price. One third to cover your initial outlay, one third to cover your transport costs and one third profit, easy!

You buy �50 worth of old Vogue magazines on ebay and then chop them up into clippings for different stars and sell them back on ebay as clippings. The return should more than 150%. Make sure you sell to America and offer Paypal as this gives you the better prices.

Spend �50 on leaflets to distribute around an average neighbourhood advertising buy to let mortgages and buying opportunities. If you get 1 person who gets a mortgage this will be worth at least �300-�400 and get a mortgage broker to give you �100 back on the sale you make.

Play roulette if you havn't played before as beginners tend to win (but leave as soon as you have doubled your money).

Buy �50 worth of Union Jack umbrellas (getting a discount for bulk buys) and sell them to the tourists in line at Madame Tussauds.
