and we have a budget of $30 to buy our resources to make the products.

and we get to keep the profits we make..

i know many of you have done this in your college ...

This is where your competition comes in handy.
Advertise it and let people know/get something from it, and then more people will give you ideas.
How much time do you have?
I have a couple of ideas for you... Maybe some sort of cheap electronic device sold for more.
Or seasonal cards sold with half proceeds to charity (make it a good charity!) or print designs onto t-shirts,
stuff like that.
I reccomend selling stationary which can be personalised..
Good luck!

thanks i have 5 weeks now and i have to make something with significant value added i cant just buy something from a shop and sell it for more..

but i like your idea about the printing a logo on a tshirt but it coasts like 10 bucks for 1 and we got a budget of $30 so thats only 3 shirts

Make an account here: http://www.cafepress.com/
Then make your designs andmake a freewebs account with an iframe pointing to that site, I'll help if neccessary. Then YOU can buy them with the budget (cheaply) and sell them in real life

Buy some cardstock 250 for $10, get images, go to blockposters.com and you can make very nice looking posters with a good printer, the heavy cardstock, and a lot of tape

Publish something.

A mini novel, an enticing instruction booklet, a screenplay for Krush Groove part 2. You'd be surprised what people sucker for. And you have low overhead.

Just make the title something that people can't resist. Like they need to be let in on the secret.

Gold.

Get some nice card stock and packaging tape. (The kind that sticks flat and doesn't come off).

There's also a square version that's easier to make

Offer Advertising on the flat edges as well. You've got like 20 sides when you account for each configuration.

50c each. There is no way to turn down something like that for 50 cents.

Personally I would have got a gimmicky whole sale lot from ebay... something like this...


http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/300-8-BRACELETS-GLOW...id=p3286.c0.m14

that's £15/$30 for 300 braceletss

then 50p ($1) a bracelet, thats £150/$300

might be hard to push 300 though
