How to: Earn money through time travel

[Rantz]

• Go to Klondike, go back 500 years in time and dig up all the gold. Go back to our time and build a skyscraper entirely out of the gold. Rent out the apartments.
• Go to the Weimar Republic in 1923 and get a sack of high value banknotes. Back up a few years and buy tons of land. Go back to our time and throw the biggest party mankind has seen and sell beer and hot dogs there.
• Go back to when Queen Elizabeth was young. Seduce her and take pinup photos of her. Go back to our time and sell them on eBay.

Continue the list!

• Go to the Last Supper, pummel Jesus, steal Holy Grail.
• Go back 22 years, rob a Vegas casino, and now the cops are no longer looking for you. And even if they were, I am 21 years old, officer, surely there must be some kind of mistake.
• Back to the Future 2, anyone? Buy sports almanac. Bet on winners. Victorious.

• Be a photographer with lots of batteries and plenty of card space. Go everywhere.
• Scalp your tickets to the Titanic.
• Bet on baseball games.
• Sell your stockmarket shares on September 31st 1929
• Get into the subprime market and then get out in late 2006.
• Take a telegraph machine back to 1885 and beat out Marconi *and* the other guy
• About 7am, early September 2001, walk around a couple of buildings in New York, and say you had a bad dream and that people should just go home for the day. Profit from the lack of war and fear.

Take a sports almanac back in time via a De Lorean DMC-12-turned-time-machine...

Oh wait, it's been done. Damn you Paul...

• Sell your stockmarket shares on September 31st 1929

It wouldn't be so funny if you turned out to be the cause!

• Just go back and steal from the rich. You get to get away with it after all.
• Find celebrities that made it big. Before they got anywhere, ask to be their manager. OR make them love you then marry them.
• Steal blueprints of inventions that made it big, then go back some more and show it to everyone, claiming you have invented it. Or alternatively, go back to the future then show it, seeing as we wouldn't have those inventions if you stole the prints!
• Tell your ancestors what they should trade around to make them rich. There should be a profit in your bank account when you get back.
• Buy something that would be an antique. Sell it at a very high price (get Antiques Roadshow to help you out on the price).

Murder Bill Gates and claim ownership of Microsoft.

Alternate Timelines would be caused by you being greedy. :o

[Muhyo]

Greedy is a terrible way to put it. We are just 'earning some spare change', yeah?

And that's what this thread's about

((I know, our lives could change so much ))

[Randgris]

Time travel is complicated. Makes my head go coockoo

Invest in Enron. Sell out your shares before the scandal.

Less risky: note the winning lottery numbers of various years. Win one and have members of your cohorts win others. Pool your money.

Then, invest in Enron.

he didn't say anything about it having to be a NOBLE way to earn money! I'd actually feel worse about the titanic I think!

[Heath]

Go back in time, buy a first edition Lord of the Rings/Dickens/whatever book, sell it now.

Make sure FF 1 was released years earlier, to ensure FF 7 had plenty of time to be done. And the flower girl is saved!!!!
