    Well done hiphouse! Great start to April :)

    I have a little mini challenge for us all. Everyone needs to find any item that they would have ordinarily thrown away or recycled and pop it on ebay. Winner is the one that either can sell it or if lots sell (yeah right!), the one that gets the most for it.

    Challenge can start say on 14th April which gives you plenty of time to find something and work out where you can list it.

    Anyone in?

    I'm in! I did this with a pile of mags that were on the way to recycling, figured i've nowt to lose with the no fee for 99p listing and managed to sell most of them, granted not for much but its better than nothing!

    Have another stack of mags that i'm going to do the same to over the next few days. Definately worth a shot I say :)

    I would like to join the mini challenge but can barely force myself to list anything, let alone something I was going to throw. If I can get some normal items on I might have a go

    :) You spurred me on - I've just photographed about 10 items (half mine, half my mums) to list. Why does editing photos take sooooo long

    £91 made this week - sold two items and just £50 more towards April's target of £140 towards HSBC card debt (aiming to pay off £1200 by October). Never joined an MSE challenged. Now all I have to do is sort out the garage and loft for more items to sell - I've the the ebay bug again!

    Everyone is doing realy well! I love this challenge as when I don't feel like listing anymore I see that other people are and I don't want to let the side down.

    Just cleared out the garage and took loads of photo's of old furniture and my olde mountaineering stuff and spent the last hour putting it on ebay - it's a marathon task isn't it. I haven't ebayed for a long time - bit shocked by the fees that are charged now...ouch!
