I'm not trying to have a kid for myself, I'm considering carrying the child for a couple and giving it to them.

But I'll keep that offer in mind, if I ever choose to go black.

I was looking to move to another state with my fiance but she has a mortgage on her condo still here in MA. What's the general order of steps I should take to make sure I don't fuck this up financially?

Does anyone here have any experience with it?

If you have pure Jewish ancestry you can make BANK being a surrogate for rich Jewish sterile women. I'm not joking. Look up Craigslist in your area under MISC and I'm sure you will find something. One of my coworkers got paid $10k to be a surrogate for some couple and clued me in to this crazy market.

**Byrthnoth** · 2013-03-11 16:00

Only 10k? For all the bullshit that pregnancy puts you through, I'd push for more than that.

**Aksannyi** · 2013-03-11 16:03

From what I've seen from research, 18-25k is common for a single birth, more if it's multiples (twins, triplets, etc.)

But no, I am not Jewish.

I also don't wish to do this privately - there are too many legal aspects that I don't want to navigate on my own. I would go through an agency. I'm still just on the fence about it - it's a lot of money but being pregnant was easy. But there are a lot of medical risks as with any procedure. It's not something to take lightly.

I want to sell a bunch of used 360 games and DVDs if possible. Tried the B/S/T forum and not 1 reply. I know Gamestop doesnt pay well, but they at least pay more than them all sitting in my room. Are there any other avenues I can try? Ive never used anything like amazon/ebay/etc to sell stuff

**Anoat** · 2013-03-11 20:11

Craigslist or a pawn shop if you want cash. If you are fine with credit, Gamestop works but as I am sure you are aware they will screw you royally.

**SephYuyX** · 2013-03-11 20:12

I sell my used stuff on Amazon all the time, super easy to use.
Avoid ebay.

**Cail** · 2013-03-11 20:41

How would I go about figuring out how much to sell games for? Is their a site with fair suggested resell prices?

**Caiyuo** · 2013-03-11 20:44

Actually, yeah, I like this one: http://videogames.pricecharting.com/

**SephYuyX** · 2013-03-11 20:57

Just compare on Amazon.
Go to the used page http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listi...condition=used
And just look to were yours fit.

Generally the lowest price will always win, but depending on condition you can keep the price up.
Looks like you can sell a Good copy for about 12$
Very Good for about 20$
Like New for around 45$

And you obviously dont want to sell a used game for more than a new one, unless it's a greatest hits type thing.
Can always use http://camelcamelcamel.com/Resident-...uct/B000034DMG

Items typically sell within a week or so. I recently sold over 100 individual movies and they were all sold within a month.
Then again, im one of those horrible undercutters, but just a few cents difference or a dollar makes a world of difference.
You also have to realise people are dumb and lazy and will typically not read an items description and just buy the lowest priced item.

**Cail** · 2013-03-11 21:01

Hmm, I think I'll give Amazon a try and see how it goes tomorrow or Wednesday. If I have any further questions (and im sure i will) ill be back thanks!

You could try bumping the thread first. Amazon and ebay will both get everything sold quickly, but they charge pretty hefty fees, so avoiding that is always a plus if you can. But then, if you were even considering gamestop, i guess you're not too concerned about that.

**Salodin** · 2013-03-12 09:43

Bestbuy takes games too, and In my experiences they give back more money then gamestop. Idk of they take movies.

**Anoat** · 2013-03-12 20:31

So from browsing YouTube I have discovered that it is now a thing to call up GameStop, or go to a store in person, and troll the shit out of the employees by asking them if they have Battletoads for Wii. Why is this a thing and how did it get started? Seems pretty lame being that it all boils down to trolling people who work in retail that probably already hate their job and want to kill every customer they see.

**AoE** · 2013-03-12 21:47

Not to be that dude but that "thing" is pretty old.

**Kerberoz** · 2013-03-12 22:41

"pretty old" is an understatement
