Any ideas on how a 13-year-old could raise 2k?

I could try Ebay, the problem is only my dad has an account, and even if he let me resell stuff on Ebay, he always points out what could be better and what I shouldn't do in an auction. He's generally pretty smart, but when it comes to Ebay, he's basically a DA.

For example, one time I was trying to sell like 10 nintendo DS games, and he took over the thing. Instead of letting me type everything I wanted in the description, he typed it himself, and he really doesn't do a good job- he usually types 1-2 sentences, and that's it. He didn't even put in the condition of the games, and while all of the auctions sold, I only got about $10 for each game when I could've gotten 20 if I did it myself.

And there's probably no way he'd let me make an account offa his credit card. He made one fake account with his credit card so I could browse completed items searches from my computer, but it's not actually for bidding or selling.

I wish I could do ebay but my dad is so restrictive about it. I couldn't buy little things and resell them, so if you've done this before, what are some good medium priced items to possibly buy and resell on Ebay? (medium=100-150 bucks. He'd never let me sell stuff that's like 1k)



EDIT: I made a moola account (thank you Senor_Grunt) but the most I've made is like 16 cents. Then I lost it all. The tools for HiLo and Gold Rush are ok, but barely even help. I've lost more games than I won with the HiLo tool, and I can do better than the Gold Rush one. I'm generally good with the rock paper scissors one since I'm really good at predicting how my opponent will feel and in turn what they will probably choose; and to choose the unexpected every time. But every time I get to more than like 10 cents, I go on a losing streak and go back to ground zero.

Alright, finally I can post this, I asked for help at H2Vista.net and they are very helpful.

Mr. Buckshot suggested this, and it's a real deal. Geforce 8600 GS with 256 MB, and all my other preferred specs for about $1200. They also said to avoid ibuypower, GIR.

Start either a snow shoveling business or a leave blowing business and put flyers in all your neighbors mailbox's and on telephone poles. Worked for my buddies.
