Show them you're serious by actually doing the work to EARN that money. Once you've earned at least $300, make a polite, humble request to your parents to finance the rest as an "advance" on your next birthday or Christmas present. In the meantime, ask your friend if you can borrow hers. Make SURE this product is worth it to you to spend the time it's going to take to earn it.
