:rotfl: I'd love to - listing would look something like this:

• 3 duvets, various sizes, used by guests in our student days, but not too many dubious stains. Complete with matching pillows.
• Bright green curtains with mildew spots all over rear lining
• Patterned red curtains with same. Hooks still attached!
• Quantity of brass rope effect lightswitches/sockets, all painted over in various shades of emulsion. Some with more than one colour!
• Mirror with only a very small crack across the front of it.
• Excellent selection of part-rolls of wallpaper. Many not even damp!
• Plus many, many more boxes of [strike]tat[/strike] treasure left in this house by the previous owners.

All for 99p no reserve - any bidders?! No, sadly not. This lot really is best car-booted/skipped. There's also some decent stuff, but generally not worth much on Ebay/too big to post/too much effort to describe, and I've got 100% feedback which I don't want to risk by selling junk.

Floxxie - good luck with your listings, sounds like fun. I see Ebay have just retired the marketplace research tool or that might have helped you a bit. All the stuff I've got (apart from my own used tat) is designer clothing that was bought with the intention of resale, but while I was great at buying it, I never really got around to selling it .

So far I've listed 3 items (although they were partial relists, but I'll count them anyway) so better get skates on.

PP, do you use a dressmakers dummy (if that is what it is called) to model your designer clothes? Just wondering as I have several London Burberry coats and skirts and the photos look rubbish. No good asking OH to pose in them either as his legs are too hairy and he is too large!!

I always get a sick feeling when waiting for feedback on an item which I thought wasn't great or where they had paid far more than I thought it would fetch. Another reason why I haven't done much recently. Still have my 100% but would rather leave the cr*p bits until the end.

Hypno you would be surprised by how much people will pay out. Have had several listings that didn't get a single bid first time round and then went for stupid amounts second time around. Don't understand it myself but no complaints. Are you going to sign up for the challenge? Thread somewhere on this board....

I've got a few of the hollow mannequin things - they're backless and you just hang them on the wall or over a door. In fact I've got a couple of spares if you want one - they're actually in the pile for the car boot! PM me an address if you do and I'll shove one in the post. Clothes do look loads better on a dummy.

I know what you mean about worrying about feedback arriving - we've sold several cars on Ebay and I always dread them coming back and saying it's broken down or something!

:rotfl: at your listings for your job lots.

I guess I forgot to say selling them as job lots for carbooters If not I think I would dump it and save the rental money.

Yes, I know what you mean. But if you could actually see the storage unit...:eek:
It's really just finding the time to get it all unloaded that's difficult. We probably could move most of it into the garage at the moment even with the nearly-car-booted heap in there, but it'll take a couple of days to execute which we just never seem to have. Ok, my personal challenge will be that I promise to every person (and mouse!) here that I will definitely be rid of my storage unit by Christmas. I'm going to make that bit big and bold and red so I can't shirk out of it. Any takers for some mouldy curtains?

Yay! Panda, we just want you to have your money back - even with debt at £77+ as per your sig, an extra £120 a month must be worth having. I'm just trawling diaries at the mo, and doing ipoints clicks while I wait for pages to load, but I'm going to do ten listings today, as I didn't do any yesterday, and *then* do other stuff. Hope you can get something going today.

Floxxie

PP, are the curtains washable? Or at least can be done at a hand-wash setting?

Perhaps washing soda/washing powder mix and some vinegar might remove it? Somebody O/S will probably have some suggestions.

To be honest Floxxie, they're absolutely vile! The people here before us had the most horrendous taste. They're really expensive as well (and dry-clean only sadly, or I'd have chucked them in the machine), but just really hideously old fashioned, dark, dirty, dusty and mouldy. Someone will probably give us a couple of quid at car boot though, because that's the sort of junk people seem to want!

DH was TOLD today that we're getting rid of storage this month. He's away to work now panicking about where he's going to put his treasures (i.e. a load of cassettes in broken boxes, a few guitars and more tools that you can shake a 24V cordless drill at). The loft, I think!

I have chucked dry clean only in the machine..and they have turned out beautifully. Being slightly heavier and with lining they dry very well too.. no ironing involved
