eBay/ebid 10 a day challenge - any joiners?

Count me in too. I actually bought a shed for all the things I want to ebay when I moved house, and I'm not talking about a small tool sized one, i'm talking one that needed foundations and is a similar size to my bedroom! So I'm in for the full 10 a day, and as a mini challenge I need to make back more than the £375 the bleeding shed cost me!

I have done an awesome job this month (if I do say so myself ) of clearing my credit card by nearly £1000 since 25th September (around 2/3 of what I earn before extra ideas in a month), so this can go towards keeping the ball rolling for next month.

A shed? :rotfl:

That's brilliant work clearing £1k. Was this all eBay? I'm positive that you'll get through this challenge too. Will add you to the list now and welcome.

Lol nope none of that was Ebay! As I said, I'm awful at it! I'll suddenly get an urge to clean my car in driving rain instead of doing Ebay. Technically I have actually paid off £3260 this month, but I can't really count £2150 as I knew it was coming, it just 4 years of arguing for it to arrive!. I've just done a long post on my diary thread on how I did the money and hopelessly was too ashamed of leaving it so long to update, but basically its a bit of mystery shopping, a lot of amazon, some cashing in of premium bonds, some cutting back, some quidco etc, but mostly its just that I transfer the money as soon as I receive it, so some days I make 3 or 4 payments onto my CC a day, but it stops me spending it randomly, and even I'm astonished how well it's come down this month.

Have a load of clothes in the shed which are trendy and generally designer so should sell okay, and my fender guitar (but i dont even know what type!), but worst of all there are literally hundreds of comics. The idea of listing those individually makes me want to cry as it will be a life's work.

The shed is even worse than it sounds, the one in the book was dark green, but it arrived galvanised silver and at the top of the garden it looks like some giant shiny family memorial tomb! On a sunny day my garden is quite painful to look at!

hi dinah, what a great way of paying off yur credit card ....i wish i done that yrs ago....but, of course i never, thats why im on here .......those 100's of comics, may be worth listing, especially 1 at a time.....you lose out on job lots, unless you buy them......

Yep it's going to have to be one at a time but I figure at 10 mins to list each one (probably more, I'm very slow) I'm looking at a staggering 6 days to list every single one, if I don't stop to eat/sleep/go to work etc! :eek:

Well perhaps we can have a magazine listing week for one of the weeks?

I have several boxes of a Heavy Metal magazine (OH subscribes) and I just can't bear listing each one. However I did a few years ago and while some did not sell originally, one of them went to Germany for £13. A UK buyer then asked to purchase the remaining ones. He was a seller and had a shop so we drove over there and sold the rest.

However the piles have crept up again..also have some the cookery inserts you get in magazines. Kept them to cook the recipes but haven't done so will sell those on as people do buy them!

Anybody else with copious amounts of magazines?

I have! I wrote a reply thats not appeared (I think another tab on IE froze, and I had to shut the whole thing down in the middle). What I *had* said LOL is that when you relist magazines, you have to keep a close eye on what the competition is charging - one that I sold for an original price of £20, had actually gone up to £100 by the time I sold it, thats quite a lot of money to miss out on. Going to do hardback books today, anyway. I'm still in!
