  • Good to see the motivation carrying through - well done to everyone.

    I sold my first book on Green Metropolis today. Total sales profit for February to date (after costs) is £13.58, which I'm happy about since I've no high vaule goods. Hope I can keep up the momentum.

    Made £65 profit from sales in Janury. Chuffed as I didn't think I had anything to sell. Hope to do a bit better in February. Keep going everyone... :D

    Ooo I love a challenge, used to put dozens of things on ebay every month but haven't done that for ages. So far I've only posted 3 things on ebay and with bidding still going am up to £8.19 (every little helps!) but reckon if i get my butt into gear i could easily clear £100 by the summer!

    Good day for me today, finally got my wraps listed and sold one and a couple of accessories within a couple of hours & then another 2 CDs on Amazon - today's takings after fees & postage are a nice round £76.

    If only every day could be like today, I could be out of debt in a few months!:rotfl:

    In other news - I've gone through the 300 listings mark! Nearly a third of the way there, nearly a third of my house emptied, nearly a third of my marbles gone...:p

    Keep up the good work guys - and welcome to all the new challengers! :T
  • The £80 I made from last week's ebaying just arrived in my bank account today :D have paid it straight off one of the debts, hurrah! Will be listing more this weekend. Another £80 would be nice!!!

    Just a thought which may help.... I have started using record cards with the items listed on it (19 per week and per record card) and one side has the items and the dates, as well as how much it sold for and the postage charged, and the other side has the address and the actual postage cost & total profit
    Thought it may help those disorganised like me to keep track

    Need to get my !!! in gear and get listing this weekend!! Lots more ribbons and craft items to put on...It's astonishing the amount of c r a p I have accumulated!!! :o

    Got watchers on some of my ribbons but they are BIN so waiting to see if someone bites!

    I pay 40p/BIN listing for my ribbons, wondering if I did Auction and listed it at the same price would it be cheaper? Every little helps!!! ;)

    Signing off a bit early tonight as I'm escaping for a chid-free weekend at my friend's (aaahhhhh - peace!) so it's just a quickie post to say that I sold another two wraps and a CD today, so taking off the refund I had to give for breaking a CD polishing it (d'oh!) that makes today's total £68.13. :T

    Have a great weekend guys, see you all on Monday! :beer:
