hey everyone...well i actually did it, i listed the 10 items i promised myself i would!!! and now i've got the bug!! im hunting for more stuff to sell!!! hehe...i've already got some people watching! hope they place some bids!! hehe

i've got loads of cds, which are in pretty good condition, has anybody used one of those sights where they send you out an envelope/package to send back your cd's in and then they pay you??
do you think that would be more profit less work than ebay??

vinaka!

edit : i found it, new i'd read it in here somewhere..musicmagpie

what do you reckon..i'll put in my cd's and i'll tell you what they are offering...
i have had NO surveys today!!! what is going on! lol

2nd edit : for 6 cd's they are offering 3.56!! every little helps eh..?

No increase to my balance today :sad: Looks as if a few of us struggled today for some reason! I now have bids on 3 ebay items though, plus I did my daily clicks and a lightspeed survey. Just waiting for all those websites to start paying out!!!

Hiya everyone
Well today I have caught the evil cold that is going around my little one has had it all week so I guess it was inevitable therefore I decided to have a chilling day at home baking and cooking - and spent no money - hoorah!! Also listed a few things on gumtree - they only pay 10p per listing on topcashback for the Cardiff area - guess they figure us poor relations in Wales don't deserve 30p! Ah well it all helps and hopefully I get a sale - will list some more things soon. Am trying to persuade hubbie that we need to clean the car and take some piccies this weekend to get that listed as he starts his new job on the 13th with a company car so the sooner we can sell our car the better so we can save on petrol/insurance etc... Also via topcashback I joined a site called free dvd.com where just for filling in a short questionnaire they send you a free dvd [the choice is quite limited but they had one of my fave films and if you don't like any you could always sell it] plus TCB pay 60p for this.
Finally my mail was also great today - all freebies - a dummy from MAM [my third so far!] and 2 sachets of baby sauces for Finn from Tesco mum and baby surveys [don't usually use sachets but will try them as they give me 50 points !!200 or £2 worth in clubcard deals} just to fill in short survey about them]. Also got free tickets to see The Rocker next Tues so all in all a poorly but postive day regarding freebies!!

Hey guys, have had my online auctions EXPLODE lol

I went away for a night and just checked and so much stuff had sold, when I was watching nothing was happening, a new saying maybe, a watched auction never sells

So tired and grouchy and a bit fed up with the savings today, so this was a good perk I suppose.

Puts me ahead well into next week anyway. :T

Well this morning I checked my freefivers account and was very pleased to see I was now owed £30 [£5 for joining and £25 for signing up to the nectar credit card] I will not count this money though until I get the cheque. I decided to have a search of further cashbacks I could do without spending any money and found Jackpot Bingo. If I registered with them and deposited £10 I would get £15 cashback from freefivers and JB would match my deposit. So I did this, won £50 and then withdrew my original amount plus the £50 won - so a profit of £50 to add to my pot and the games were fun too - I did have to bet £100 to be able to withdraw but due to an early lucky win of £45 I was able to keep my pot even through other small wins - I found the scratchcards the best payers if anyone else decides to do this - I have left a small amount in there if I want to play in the future - it is very addictive but I was determined not to lose all my money! The £15 is also showing but again I'll wait for the cheque before adding this.:j

Hey all,

Sorry I haven't been able to update in a while - on the plus side though, this was due to a huuuge amount of OT! I've done coming up for 57 hrs in the last week and am sooo tired!!

I've got to dash as have a driving lesson soon but gonna do my budget later today and will update properly then when I know the exact figures!

Hope you're all having a good Sat so far xx

Gumtree ads are working for me!
£54 for my old laptop, less fees of 75p for accepting cash payment via PayPoint, I used a half price discount code via Parcel2go, so all in, £48.18 to add to my 1000 pot, plus I have another 3 enquiries via my other Gumtree ads! That's a total of 6 ads tracked via TCB.

Afternoon all...actually put up a few auctions on eBay finally yesterday. Have got a brand new phone on there so that should make around £40-60 fingers crossed..

Gonna put some more stuff hopefully tonight - just won't get any cash from these until another week or so - its a waiting game! :rolleyes:

Also going to have a look at music magpie for my CDs, and think about how I can shift my books, none of which are selling on greenmet :S

Hope you guys are all keeping inspired!

Hi everyone

No update to my total today again as no more hard cash, but I did win £10.61 on Foxy bingo (I was SO excited - never won at Bingo before!!). I was playing with a £10 bonus so it cost me nothing. I'll have to deposit £20 in order to withdraw as minimum withdrawl is £30 but that should be OK. Also thanks to trex170104's post above I made 60p on TCB and got a free DVD through free dvd.com. Five ebay auctions now have bids :T I'll only get 10% of the profits as its stuff I'm selling for my mum but the more bids they get, the more my cut will be!!
