    Welcome Beencounting good to see a few of us on here. Looks like we all have different aims so I think the best way is to just keep this thread running as a place to log our progress and motivate each other :T

    Hi, I'd like to be in on this challenge too :)

    I have a ridiculous amount of books (600+ and that is probably a conservative estimate) many of which were bought in my carefree pre-DFW days! Some of them I have never read and if I haven't read them now it's probably not likely that I'm going to...

    I also have lots of other bits and bobs around the house that I could try to sell too.

    So, I am going to aim for £500 by the end of the year. If things go well, I will review this target but I'm going to start reasonably small so I don't get demotivated!!!

    Just a couple of questions - can you list books on amazon AND Green Metropolis at the same time? I have a number of books on Green Metropolis but they seem very slow and a lot of people don't know about the site? I was thinking if it was possible, I could list the same book on both sites and sell it through whichever one someone buys it through first. Are you allowed to do that?

    Also, I have a lot of CDs I never listen to. Where do you think would be the best place to sell them? Ebay, Amazon or Musicmagpie? Otr somewhere completely different?

    Thanks in advance :)
