Investment ideas? £10k to play with

I been thinking of something to put some money into on the side - like a side business opportunity of some sort.

I am already doing something on the side, outside my work hours but I don't need to put anything into it right now.

I've got like $10k to play around with.

I was thinking of dealing in some PS3's from abroad and knocking them off here in UK -

Any idea's? What I could invest in possibly? Or anyone offering anything?

Cheers

Are PS3's very profitable items? On release day, the stores made next to nothing off the sales. Stores were basically distribution hubs, I think they still are, and make very little money on PS3's thats why you see little internet stores selling them for ~900$ USD WAYY to much.

Why do you think PS3's are cheaper abroad? The margin on ps3's are very small .

I wouldn't recommend stocks unless you've done two things:

1. Due Diligence on a stock so that you've familiarized yourself with it
2. Have some knowledge of the stock market

Investorpedia.com should get you started on learning the stock market itself. That is, if you really are interested in a high risk (but good possibility of getting a return. Stocks only go 2 ways... up or down, so its a 50/50 chance.)

If you don't know what to do with the money you need to learn about various forms of investment not come to a board asking for suggestions. What's that old saying " A fool and his money are soon parted"

sorry funk, I do not have an idea for you, just need to make a comment to some of the posters.

Young Spark.. the stock market is not 50/50.. unless you are throwing your money into a random stock.. then you could kind of call it 50/50. But with research it is definitely not 50/50.

and roadtoharvard.. he was asking for suggestions of what type of things to do with his money. He was not saying tell me what to put my money in and i will do it. MAYBE he has done some research and come up with a few good ideas, but is interested what others have to say and just MAYBE they will come up with a better idea than he has. That is the opposite of being a fool.
