In such an unstable economy, the latest trend in stretching the dollar has been the "Rummage Sale". This type of sale consists of piling crap in your driveway and allowing neighborhood residents to come look at it and offer money. The rummage sale can be a sure fire way to earn lots of money if you play your cards right.
The first thing you will want to do is get a fine piece of art. If you do not have one of your own, find one at a thrift store. Make sure it looks sort of priceless and important. Find a friend or family member who can drop by your yard sale as a "famous art critic" and when there is a large crowd of people. Have him/her gasp at the priceless painting you are selling and offer $20,000 for it. As you are about to close the deal, have this person realize they have misplaced your checkbook and have them loudly say "I certainly hope no one else sneaks up and offers you a similar price while I go to my van to get my checkbook!". This will plant the idea in the minds of other rummage sale patrons. Have the art critic walk very very slowly back to the van, and this will give the other attendees ample time to pay $20,000 for your painting, which they will. Thats Rich.
