Ha Ha I used to sell childrens clothes and quite often the sellers would ask what size I was looking for - either made an age up on the spot or said any as I have lots of neices and nephews- the fibs we ebayers come out with:rolleyes:

I went to day and got a Per Una skirt - 50p, Per Una Dress BNWOT - £1.50, and Per Una Shirt - 50p. All will go on ebay tonight and I'll see how they do.
Got very funny looks from the woman selling the dress as its only a size 8 and I'm more a 18/20! She just said "its very small"! Didn't like to tell her it was for ebay!
I also got a Laura Ashley dress for £1 BNWT RRP £110 but I'm not sure how well it will sell on ebay as there wern't many bids on the ones on there. I will save it till nearer Christmas as its more a party dress so I've put it away till then.
I'm at my sisters next weekend so I hope she has some car boots near her on the Wirral, anyone know of any?

Can you let us know how you get on please? I really don't think many people near me buy to ebay and there were loads of Monsoon gear and lots of other designer names I can't remember but not in my size or too expensive (I only pay about £1 an item for myself - max!). However, if they sell on ebay for such crazy prices, I'm starting to think I'd be daft not to take advantage of it. How do you wrap things? How do you know how much it costs to post? Is it not loads of hassle for very little return (that's what I thought - I'm beginning to beleive it's not). TIA!

For example, I bought a Red Herring suede jacket in excellent condition yesterday - £2.50. I was thinking I could get a few wears out of it then stick it in the charity box - is it worth ebaying it?

i THINK THE BEST WAY TO FIND OUT IF WHAT YOU'VE GOT WILL SELL IS TO GO AND DO A 'COMPLETED ITEMS' SEARCH FOR IT.

Nothing for me at my local car boot sale. I thought the sunshine would bring out the bargains but I couldnt find anything. However, I've done very well on ebay over the past week, including a white Next shirt for 40p plus 80p postage.

One of the items I bought for £1 today has a bid of £4.99 already :j
