2015: Sell £1000


This is a challenge I wish to set myself for 2015 and I thought is might be good to open it up to others. Personally, I'm rubbish at selling things or making extra pennies, although I'm quite good at not spending them!


So this takes me far out of my comfort zone!


If you would like to join me in this venture, post your name and the amount you want to get in 2015 through selling off your stuff.

    Hi applemuncher.... I'm with you :)

    I joined the ebay challenge but no one seems to be posting on there. I'm really rubbish at making extra pennies, yet seem to have endless amounts of 'preloved' items I need to be rid of. We're planning to live in Scotland the next academic year so need loads less stuff and loads more savings!

    So, I commit to making £1000 extra towards the savings by next September.

    That's in black and white now

    Welcome vintagebrighton! That's quite a move you have planned - hope it all goes smoothly.

    I guess, as regards posting here, we'll just post as and when we sell something, and total it up through the year. I'll probably start in Jan - although if a sneaky sale creeps in in December, I'll definitely include it!

    Nothing sold yet. A couple of bits are finishing today (no bibs yet) and a few BIN items with a couple of weeks left. Might not list anything in the run up to Christmas.
    Thinking about putting things on turbo-lister and wait for a free listing weekend to come along.
    Anybody got any thoughts on this?

    ilovetea, I think most people are concentrating on Christmas stuff at the moment so things might be slow if you're not selling those sort of items. Then after Christmas, everyone lists their unwanted pressies!

    Mind you, if it's free listing maybe it doesn't matter if it doesn't sell first time?

    I've got one item up on gumtree at the moment.... see what happens :)
