    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.

    Decided to give this ebay thing a go, my aim to get my sling (£25). Have a DS lite in bits so they usually sell for £20 or so. Going to have a look and see what else I can sling on.

    Need a camera though.....

    Yippee! My 8 items sold for a grand total of £121.71. Enough to kit out baby's nursery with a cot, mattress, rug, curtains, light shade and still have a little change.

    What a waste of time and effort - only 2 of my items sold one for 50p and one for 99p - plus postage!

    From now on I'm only going to list things that are more likely to sell.

    Might be a car boot job in the summer instead

    Where does the time go? :think:

    My broken DSlite sold for £22+£3 postage (got a message 5mins after I listed it asking if I would take £22 BIN and I said yeah) so that paid for my crib.

    My 9 wheel of time books ends in 3 days and has a bid at £15.00! :j

    I wonder if a freeview box would sell?

    ooh SB I forgot about the Amazon paper!!
    I do that too :D
    PS. (I keep my boxes for stuff like that coz I know I'll be most likely selling them on at some point) Geek! :o

    Well done Mooki and in fact everyone that's been hard at it :T give your OH's instructions to give you a pat on the back (and while they're there maybe a bit of a rub) ;)

    I actually do keep boxes for quite a while too but it didn't have one. It was in a carry case with just a card wrap around it so definately not sturdy enough. And I got more back than I paid for it! Go me! :D.

    I also sold all three of my tops that I put on last Sunday and have raked in £24.98 altogether! :T. And I used your tip of bin liners too as I had a roll under the sink that were the wrong size for our bin! :cool:.

    Just another trillion more garments to list when I feel inspired! :o

    Updating my total to £ 139.09! That includes £25 transferred to my paypal from some surveys i've done.

    Most of my unisex bundles sold, but not many of my girl ones. I suppose if approx half of pregnant people don't know what they're having, then theres half as many people on ebay wanting girl stuff!

    I'll relist, and i've also found another pile of maternity summer trousers/crops/shorts that i'd forgotten about.

    My plan is to use it to get Violets cot which I guess she'll be needing quite soon.

    That's because I have been banned from buying anything from ebay until after our holiday :(

    Freeview box has 1 watcher.

    Might put my angel care doppler on, baby is moving so I don't need it anymore and it will fetch at least £15.
