    That is an excellent idea; I'm going to do it the other way around - auction first, then BIN.

    Earlier in the challenge I broke down how I thought I may make the money; time for an update to see how I'm progressing ...
    • AQA £308 £30 so far
    • Surveys/Pigsback etc £15 £21 so far
    • Mystery Shopping £80 £34 so far
    • Ebay £100 £91 so far
    • Car Boots £55 £0 :o:o:o
    • Matched Betting £250 £64 so far
    • Wii £130 £0 :o:o:o
    • Quidco / Other £62 £24 so far
    I need to get the Wii listed on ebay and crack on with the AQA again :o:o Tomorrow I'm doing 6 mystery shops so that should whack that total up. I'm not sure if I'll be able to squeeze a car boot sale in, so may need to get some more stuff on ebay to make up that money. The matched betting money has all been made in the last week and there is lots of potential for more, its just a case of waiting for the funds to clear in various places :rolleyes: :D
