  • I love charity shops & car boot sales etc, I'm in them almost everyday!

    I have loads of bits to put on eBay already, just waiting for my new scanner/printer to come which takes my memory card straight from my camera so I can list items a lot easier then am going to seriously look into buying items cheap to make a profit.

    Some of my latest best buys include :-

    3 summer dresses for my LO (she's nearly 3), one was Monsoon, one M&S, one NEXT I paid £4.00 in total.

    Also 3 pairs of summer shoes, all of them looked new, paid £7.00 in total (one clarks, one NEXT & one George).

    Some NEW LOOK 3/4 length combat trousers BNWT for my eldest daughter for £2, price on tag was £10 she was really pleased with them.
    2023 wins - Rice Krispies, Avene Micellar Gel, Barbie Toy, £20 Apple Gift Card, KFC 6 piece bargain bucket, Chloe Nomade perfume, Barbie Toy (second one), Sanctuary Spa Sleep Balm, E45 Moisturising Lotion, Trolls Hamper, 12 Tonie Characters, Sure deodorant, Good Home Utensil holder, £5 Costa Gift Card, Neutrogena Micellar Jelly, Soap & Glory Mascara, Persil capsules,

    Good day today :)
    2 Furbies (new style, so a bit pricier on eBay) £1 each, one of them still wired to the box.
    1 pair of Adidas football gloves, good condition and same type going for £15 on eBay, £3.
    15 fighting fantasy books, 10p each.
    Approximately 1000 pokemon cards, £5 (now I sell booster packs some times at £1.99 for 20 cards and they sell out quickly so this is a good deal.
    Loads of t-shirts, trousers and other clothing for a tremendously cheap price.
    Body shop gift set, still sealed (cost £16) 1.50!

    Hope everyone else had a good day as well. :)

    I got a lovely light green coat by Jasper Conran - belted, lined, fits like a dream for the massive sum of £4 - and just what I'd been looking for - had I seen one in the shops, I'd have bought it full price. V happy!

    Went to 2 boot sales today but didn't find much.

    I did manage to find a Bluebird Chimney pot (toy) which i had when i was a kid, i have been looking for one for ages, i payed 4.00 for it but then got it home and my daughter broke it :mad:.

    I also got a lovely Oasis maxi dress for 50p which will be going on e-bay as its too small for me.

    A pair of Next jeans for 50p.

    A pair of new Startrite shoes for my daughter for 5.00.

    A bag of Next childrens clothes (around 20 items) for 15.00

    And some childrens puzzles for 50p each.

    Hope you had a better day than i did, i am now sun burnt and tired :D
