The cardigans I bought last weekend for £1 and 50p have just sold for £10.50 and £16 :j :j

Altogether this weekends ebay total is £47.70 :beer: I'm going to take £17 out of this to pay for the stuff I bought today at the car boot sale, and the other £30 will go into the mortgage pot. I can't wait to get the next lot of stuff listed on there

well done when are you planning to get the new stuff listed i visited my local car boot sale today and it was so cr*p i was so disappointed i did pick up a brand new m and s dress for £2.50 and sold for £5.50 so a little profit.

do you delve right into the clothes for sale benben and do you barter how do you know what will sell well - or is it just a guessing game ?

i went to poole last week to stay on my honeymoon i am guessing that this is near you ?

I went to a huge car boot today so was lucky as there was a lot of choice there. I don't really delve in, I look along rails literally just at the label, ask the price, then if I don't like the price I mumble something about not being sure of the size , if I do like the price I get it quick I haven't haggled at all so far, just because usually its only 50p / £1 anyway. I tend to like stalle with blokes on for clothes buying, they haven't a clue generally about the makes so will just let it go for 50p If its a stall with girls in their 20's they tend to be a lot more clued up and know the ebay values :rolleyes:

I do tend to stick mainly to stuff I would wear, and generally Monsoon / Per Una / Jane Norman labels, just because I've seen their prices a bit on ebay, but I would go for other stuff too as long as it wasn't too expensive. As long as I think I could get my outlay back then I think its worth a go

Poole is fairly near me, about half an hour away, its lovely there by the harbour; we're going over to Brownsea Island for a day in the summer holidays on the little ferry, ds will love it
