Nothing yet for me today.
However, I've just added another few CDs on Play.com! As I've got over 400 CDs (eeekkk!), I've got to convince myself that I don't need to keep ALL of them but it's so hard. It's almost as difficult as "letting go" of many of my stacks of books when I started listing them on Green Metropolis.
When I'm feeling "brave", I might be tempted to start listing stuff in multiple locations (Amazon, Play, Green Metropolis ...) - must make me sound rather daft and a bit pathetic!

Through some lucky wins - posting, the surveys and comments at the beginning (did you find these?). Im up to £30 now. Love this site!
I did the surveys, not seen the comments though - where can I find those? I just won one and two lines but don't seem to get past 2000. Will post some more in the forums. I do love the site though, its fun. Well done for getting that muchWhen I'm feeling "brave", I might be tempted to start listing stuff in multiple locations (Amazon, Play, Green Metropolis ...) - must make me sound rather daft and a bit pathetic!

Not at all - its hard getting rid of all those things to start with but it gets easier when the money starts coming in
Well done - and you get your fees back after posting too so its well worth having a go at the momentPurpleroses wrote: »oh oh oh i just sold my first cd on play!!! i'm so excited! :j
