moneymabel

about 25 or 30 today plus perhaps 10 the other day, quite a few for DVD camcorders/portable dvd which would be good to sell- don't expect to win anything tho!

jenjade

moneymabel

Wow, I just experienced the whole ebay excitement! Never sold anything before but found a few things when we were packing that we thought we might make a couple of pounds on - 4 things sold for £54!!!!! And they were all things that we were going to just throw away - who would have thought! We have to move next weekend so I don't think we'll be able to get any more stuff sold but its a good start! 2 people have paid straight away so we just have to wait for the next 2 so we can send it all and have it out of the way!
How exciting!

Anyone have any suggestions for worthy causes for getting rid of books. Most of them I could only list for 1p on Amazon and I listed a couple on green metropolis but no luck yet. Don't really want to cart books I don't want to a new house and clutter it up just as much as here! Was thinking Oxfam but don't know any around here to drop them off to! Think its such a waste to just throw them out - maybe the library would want them (got enough to open a library of my own I think)? Suggestions?

jenjade

yes the library or maybe an old people home hospital? something like that?

jenjade

oh sorry well done on your e bay stuff it is great when stuff you think is rubbish sells for loads

hi Aussie brill news about your eBay sales!!!! As for books like Jen says hospital or hospice or any other local charity shops .

Aussieonabudget

Thanks Jen and MM - Hadn't thought of the hospital/hospice idea - not sure they'd like some of our fantasy/science fiction books but might be able to sort them into a couple of different piles for different places. And I think there's a charity shop in Willesden Green where we are moving that might take books and any other kinda useful carp that we discover! We have hired a car for next weekend so may be able to take a load while it is easier.

One of the ebay items went for £21 when I only spend £25 on it new so I'm well impressed!
