Best use would be to get two steel plates or something, of apropriate dimensions for portals and shoot them there. Now I have two portals I can move as I please and where I please
In the game if a wall moved the portal would evaporate.
In the Valve-developed Sixense Razer Hydra expansion, you could smoothly glide a portal along a wall. Not sure if that makes much of a difference.
Except that one room.

How thick are the plates? Are they bendable? What happens if you bend one of the portals? What happens if an object goes through a bent portal?

I would think about buying a house out in the middle of nowhere and link up a closet with one in my house. Free extra square feet in my house.
Realistically, I'd link up my house with a family member's house that we need to fly to.

I would make one portal in Tokyo or some busy city and other in another busy city and i will sell tickets to ride between the two. Or i will put them on some sheet of something that i can move so i can change destinations but in game if i move the surface under portal it will dissapear

I would contact NASA and tell them to launch a robot to mars that can shoot it. I'd shoot it at the ground, then put it on the robot, then have a portal to mars.
I'm wondering if the people suggesting it for planetary travel have played Portal 2. It uh...it doesn't end too well when they try.
Just put a door on it

Reverse engineer it
Reverse-engineer it and build an unlimited-use portal gun, of course!
Save it. I don't have anything currently that I would want to use a portal gun on given that I can only use it once. I might use it to get myself out of a sticky situation, or wait to see if I ever move into a relatively permanent home and I could make a portal from my house to another location for convenience.
So it'll be just like the bag full of Maximum Heal potions when the credits roll, except I imagine you could pass it on to someone with a message not to wait for the perfect moment.
Maybe, but I don't particularly feel the need to use a portal gun. If I never end up using it I don't think I'd have particular regrets, but if I used it to save my ass during a high-stakes situation then I'd be quite glad.
Assuming there is only one, sell my single use for ludicrous amounts of money to some Corp that has merchandise to move.
Upon receiving it I would spend the first god knows how many hours trying to convince myself not to use it for sex things.
Beyond that, I think I'd definitely have to consider permanently renting a storage room in a country I want to visit often, and storing a portal in there.
I would put one portal on a pneumatically actuated plate above a dais that holds an object, and the other portal on a plate placed at a 45 degree angle. I would then see if an object on the dais would fly or fall out of the 45 degree portal, if the other portal actuated and closed the distance between its starting point and the dais.

Take a portal to a black hole, keep the portal open for funsies.
