    I've made some 'something blue' bridal charms, they are blue crystal hearts on silver clasps that go on your garter or bouquet and after on a charm bracelet. Most other ones on eBay are silver plate but mine are sterling - selling as pack of 5 so hoping shop might buy them or bride as gift for bridesmaids etc. Not a great time of year to sell though!

    i think it was stress as i went to tesco and it was so busy my head started to hurt then i came out into the cold air and it hurt more!! i feel better now.

    I am debating whether to try and see the wii while they are in demand for xmas i might pop it in the trade it cash on collection and see if anyone is desperate to pay silly money for it!

  • Hi all,

    Jen I've seen people asking £200+ for a used wii on the message boards in our Asda. How much were you thinking of selling it for?

    i dunno really i have been thinking about selling it since we got it really we just don't play on it. I don't know how much and i dunno whether to sell it with the games or what really. I have been put off selling it in the past as i want my money back without losing any. I can't remember how much i paid i know i got it in tesco. i have the box and all the packaging so it someone collected it they could give it as a new wii for the kids for xmas etc and if it don't sell i will keep it for a bit longer

  • Yeah that's understandable. At least with mine I didn't pay for it so was really happy with what I got. I bet you could get at least £160 for just the console, whereas after xmas you'll get less. I've been watching the selling prices on ebay and they've crept up £30-40 in the last couple of months.

    I'm so bored I think I'm going to make a couple more quid on STP then do the ironing... told you I was bored :o
