  • Had a look. Most of them sold, the prices vary between £26 - £60. Might put it up for £39.99. It's more than I thought I would get for them!

    CMD - let us know how you get on. I bought some mono boots last year for £45 reduced from £65 - I've worn them about 5 times I think - due to the 3 or 4 inch heal!!!! I bought them when I wanted to raise my self esteem literally by standing out from the crowd or should I say above them LOL. Unfortunately I also bought some extremely high jade green shoes at the same time with a similar high heal - very uncomfortable to wear more than an hour at a time... Perhaps I should lok at what they would go for.... Never sold or bought on e-bay - OH has bought for me tho...

  • Will do SavingH,

    Think I will try and list a few things every evening to free up some room in my flat. I was hesitant at first, because I am a horder, but I am never going to wear the stuff so I might as well sell it and pay off some of my credit card!

    Good luck with the Ebay peeps, really hope you get the £39.99 for the boots you want.

    I haven't put much on there recently really must get my act together :o

  • Hi all,

    The boots sold for £39.99 this morning and my dress is up to £7.15. Am thrilled, didn't think they would sell for that much. Just need to do the packaging bit now!

    That is great, well done. I sold 3 pairs of potty training pants (new) yesterday for £8.50 so was well pleased.

  • Hi TooMuch,

    It's a great feeling isn't it? I am just dying to get rid of everything else that is cluttering up my wardrobe now as well. New year, new me as they say!

  • Thanks Doodledoo,

    Still can't believe it myself. I have never sold anything of significance on Ebay before. I suppose just before Xmas is a good time to offload any unwanted stuff!
