  • I'm feeling very inspired by all your ebaying/amazoning, so am having a go myself. We have a holiday booked for this year, which has been paid for, but we will need spending money. Plus we have a great big British Gas Bill, and I have a credit card to clear! Not much pressure then :rotfl:

    Anyway, I have 5 items currently listed. Sold one this morning, only £4 but it's a start lol.

    I must admit, I find ebay a bit of a chore. I like amazon for selling dvd's, but I have pretty much sold all I want to of our dvd collection on there. Might have another look through though.

    Right, off to rumage through the cupboards/drawers, see what else I can list.
  • Sold another dvd on play so another £8.50

    Got quite a few bids on ebay just now and finishing at ten so fingers crossed!!!

    Just got another £30 from someone that came to collect some items.
    Very annoyed as we (now stupidly) paid a deposit via paypal for a car and we got there and it wasn't described properly and now they refuse to refnud the money. We are going to increase our target now by the £200! :(

    Get in touch with Paypal and ask for the payment to be reversed ;)

  • 2 more things listed on ebay, one being a top I've had for about 2 years, still has the tag on, so I figured I'm probably never going to wear it lol. Also found a Disney dvd to list on amazon :j

    Edit; Woweeee, sold another item on eBay for £19.99, and the dvd I listed on amazon has already sold, making me £12.59 after fees! Really pleased with that.

    Morning :j

    Well firstly a huge apologies to everyone especially all the newbies.

    I disappeared for a while and no excuses I was just being lazy but I am back now and I need a massive butt kicking to get me back on track with this challenge.

    I have updated the list of challengers, let me know if I have missed you.

    Some brilliant totals happening on here. I definately need to get my butt into gear to catch up with you all.
