Not really, actually I had the needed money all along, it's just that I could not "put" them in my card / paypal account from home (and I could not go out in time to find open postal offices, the only places where i can replenish with cash my crappy-but-online-shopping-friendly credit card)
.
Now, when I'll buy an acoustic bass (without asking any boarders' help :|), I might consider busking... acoustic bass, batteries powered drum machine, cheap-o batteries amplified speakers for drum machine, half naked gorgeous lady singer...could work...
