i don't sell a lot (i sold about 6 last year and already 2 this year), i sell to local people, local businesses. I make about $200 a build aprox. I usually have a comp already built lying around so sometimes i can just sell them that, i tried craigslist but never even got one email about 4 computers posted ( i just made up specs and if someone was interested i would build it)

Mow yards, walk people's dog, look in the paper for folks needing stuff like that done. Help elderly people with their housework or shopping.

Well to be honest, there isn't much you can really do to get money w/o interfering with your grades. I mean, because of your age the only options you have are the obvious ones like mowing lawns, fixing things, selling stuff laying around, etc. If you really want to get money get a job when you turn 16. I just turned 16 and I'm getting a job a best buy asap

I honestly don't think it would interfere with my grades cause I have so much free-time at home its not even funny. I need a job...

Since you built it would you take care of any problems that came from it.

Say the hard drive failed, would you take care of warranty and maintainence?

When a hard drive dies there is very little you can do, mostly of the things you can do involve swearing or a large hammer.

Jokes aside you have to replace a dead hard drive an if the client wants any data recovered from it you phone up your prefared data recover specialist an see if they can do it but most of the time its to costly to bother.

I saw this thread just now, and I saw the part about the surveys, heres my advice on it, it works but at a price usually Spam, or getting yourself involved with spyware on your PC
