Like i say i have had enough of estate agents, we still want to sell but we will hang on until the market is at its bottom and the buyers have came back.

And what makes you think that those returning buyers will rush to snap up your house, which at that stage will have been on the market for at least a couple of years, at prices that look as if you've pulled them out of a hat? Yes, most potential buyers are on Rightmove, many use Property Bee and most will have been watching the market in their area of interest very closely. With a history like the one you're about to set up, I for one would give yours a wide berth as sold by someone who is clearly deluded!

Oh and if you read the forums post's a lot of them are from first time buyers, moaning about sellers not dropping their prices.

So my post would have ruffled a few of the first time buyers feathers has i have said i will not drop mine any more, thats why i stated that most of the people wo have poted on this thread moaning are either estate agents or first time buyers, and that was proven when i checked a few user names post's.

So frustration with unrealistic sellers not dropping their prices = FTB? I thought you were frustrated that vendors of houses that you might like to buy aren't prepared to drop their prices enough to make moving worthwhile for you? So that's ok for you, but not for FTBs? As for checking user names' posts, as I posted further up you obviously didn't check very thoroughly, as I'm neither a FTB, nor remotely interested in newbuilds (where did that come from). But whatever floats your boat

I'm glad you're not in a rush to move, because as I said elsewhere, I have a feeling that you'll be in your current house for a loooong time to come!

anyway, this post isnt about what do for work or is it??

Im sure it was about me havng enough of estate agents, funny things is it doesnt look like they have had enought of me has they keep on coming back for more.

1. Look i will not employ another estate agent
2. i will not pay for another hip pack
3. i will not lower the price of my house anymore
4. i will not sell my house for at least a year or two
5. im not bothered how much i sell it for, as long as it sells and i can move up the ladder
6. i will not seek advice from a financial adviser
7. i will continue to sell things on ebay
8. i will go back to work when my sabatical finishes
9. And i will continue to say things how i find them

If you people dont like it, then great, but dont get your knickers in a twist, its my choice, and whatever or anything any of you say, it will make no difference to what i do.;)

remember people if no one else loves you jesus still does;)

thats pot calling kettle black, estate agents have sat on their fat arxes for years, telling people bullsh!t and picking up a good wage each month for doing next to nothing.

And im sure im not the only person who thinks that?

Look up these three words:

delusion

confusion

hypocrisy

You could sell these in abundance on eBay if you could get them in a box.

I do not wish redundancy or anything similar on anyone how ever much of a complete muppet they are. BUT in your case its your immediate family I feel sorry for - they have to follow you on this directionless ship you are sailing. Lets hope its not called Titanic 2.

I hope you are declaring your income from eBay before the taxman catches up with you! From HMRC website:

Am I liable to tax on the sales I make?

If you are just selling some unwanted items that have been lying around in the attic, the answer is probably no. In order to pay tax on the goods you sell, you either have to be trading or make a capital gain. If you are trading you will be self-employed.

Am I trading?

Essentially ‘trade’ is a two-way relationship between a trader and a customer – where the trader provides goods or services to the customer for reward on a commercial basis. In addition, the courts have identified ‘nine indicators or ‘badges’ to help decide whether a trade exists or not. It is not always easy to decide even using these ‘badges’ because a trade may exist even if only one or two of the indicators are present.
Once you have read this guide and examples and you still don’t know whether you are trading, please contact us so we can help.
You are trading if you:

• sell goods you have bought for resale
• make items yourself and sell them, intending to make a profit
• sell (or buy) goods on behalf of others for financial gain (for example on commission)
• provide a service and receive payment (whether in cash or in kind).

If you are trading you may have to pay Income Tax and National Insurance Contributions (NICs) and VAT, and we will treat you as self-employed in that trade.
But you are not trading if you:

• sell occasional, unwanted personal items through Internet auctions or classified advertisements
• attend a car boot sale once a year to sell unwanted household items.

If you are not liable to Income Tax you may still be liable to other taxes.

I've seen some HIPS this weekend and the dates stated they were prepared back in 2008. This made me wonder why the properties were still on the market. In addition, the searches have to be under 3 months old so they had expired too.

When a viewer sees your HIP from 2009 in 2010/2011 don't you think they'll wonder why your property has been on the market so long? I know you say that you will say you stopped actively marketing it for a while but will they believe you or think you have a body under the patio that surveys keep finding?

Ebay is being gone through by the tax man all the time. They know who to look at.
