I found some Yu Gi Oh cards on eBay. They only cost 14 dollars, I want mom to buy them how can I persuade her?

I found a deck on eBay and they only cost 2 dollars and 12 shipping. They are very cheap compared to the other ones I found. Yet I am scared to ask my mom to buy them for me. How can I persuade her? Please help me find some ideas to make her buy them for me.

You don't have to rely on your mom, look for odd jobs, or offer to babysit some toddler in your neighborhood, or knock on people's doors and say you'll walk their dog for $2 or $3 per half hour. When I was young, needed $$, I took an 8 ½ by 11 inch plain-white paper, cut it up into 2 ½ by 4 inch strips, wrote my first name, phone number, and "Babysitting %26amp; dogwalking service" on them, and I was making $$, getting 1 or 2 calls a day. Then I made the stupid mistake of telling my best friend why I had so much $$ all of a sudden. She tells her friends after she had promised not to tell anyone, and before I know it, half the elementary school had passed out advertisements to all their neighbors, offering the same service I was. I'd be lucky to get 1 call a week. I should had kept it a secret, and just told my friends I had a rich BF, and I can't tell who he is because he's over 18, and can go to jail for seeing me.





Anyway, to ask your mom is begging. It would show more maturity if you instead offer to do more chores for $$, or a spending allowance in return. Course, this may backfire on you. My best friend tried this approach, and her mom and dad said "OK, I'll pay you for doing chores, but I also have to charge you for rent and food. If you look at how much it is to rent a room, you'll need to get a job to afford the rent I'm going to charge you." So asking your parents for spending allowance only works if they're earning good $$, and can easily afford to give you, maybe $10 allowance a week in exchange for doing all your chores, and keeping your school grades up. If your parents seems to be struggling on $$, don't bother asking. Look at doing odd jobs for friends and neighbors instead. Working to earn $$ shows more maturity, than going around asking, or begging for $$.





My 1st BF told me he had earned $$ when he was 10, hanging out by the grocery supermarket and helping women to load their groceries into their car. He'd walk up and ask "Can I help you with all these groceries?" and not ask for $$. When they accept your offer, it implies there's a tip. It was rare than women would accept his help, then not give tip. He'd help 12 to 15 women, and 1 would not give a tip. Course, he had also borrowed his brother's outgrown boyscout uniform to impersonate a boyscout. So the women thought he was doing this to earn a merit badge, when in fact, he was trying not to get asked by the store manager to leave. The 1st time he did this, the store manager felt he was bothering the customers, %26amp; asked him to leave. So the 2nd time, he went to another grocery store, but this time, wearing a boyscout uniform. You're OK to impersonate a boyscout, so long as a real boyscout who belongs to the branch league your patch says you're a member of, doesn't come along and say "We just had a meeting last night, and last week, and the week before that. How come I never saw you in any of our meetings?"
Reply:Why is the shipping so high? a deck shouldn't cost that much to ship unless its overseas and even then I don't think its that much a deck of cards is small and light. Have Mom check out where this deck is coming from if its not in your country, look for cards selling within your country the postage would be much cheaper.
Reply:give her flowers and chocolates
