Consider trying to sell something at a street fair. People are generally willing to pay good money for a novelty item that can often have a very low cost. If the street fairs in your area are cheap to enter then you are especially in luck.
I saw a lady at a street fair who purchased a corrugated card board sheet and glued them together to form a sort of bowl. She then painted them different colors. People bought them to wear as hats or whatever. Her cost was probably 50 cents or less per hat and she was selling them upwards of $5.00
Depending upon where you live you could try selling lemonade at a street fair, kids sports event or near a golf course. Try to buy lemons for a local grower for about 20 cents per pound or you could even go with concentrate, if it is hot people will not care.
To be sure it is legal you will need to check with Sales Tax guidelines and possibly the health department. Both agencies are generally more flexible if it is a fund raising activity.

Go to ebay and find an item that you know (from research on the web or other way) is worth at least $1,000 or more but is underpriced and in a "Buy Now" mode. It is being sold for $200.00 or less.
Buy it - pay by Paypal and ask for expedited delivery.
Sell it immediately.

Bet on a 5:1 Horse Race and win.
Or you could buy a Race Track for $200.00 and sell it for $1000.00 in 5 years.
I mean a very small part of a Race Track (It's called a share)
If you are interested in the second option you can drop me a line.
