    Finally managed to list 26 items this afternoon - wasn't too sure about the moses basket, but someone has bid on that already!

    Probably got the same amount of stuff to list tomorrow - but hopefully June with beat April and May.

    ( I really hate the monotony of listing stuff!!)

    Have been so lazy and not listed anything for ages. Found out I was preggers on Thursday so I need to get my butt in gear.

    Wooo! Just cashed in some consumer pulse points so just waiting for £50 amazon vouchers to arrive and I think I'll spend them on the BT 150 monitor :D

    I need to start listing in ebay again. OH has agreed to let me sell his old military jackets :D

    Am looking into doing a car boot sale soon, just have to find someone with a car to drive us :D

    Would be selling some books, would you say £1 a book is reasonable?

    :)

    EA- I did Bursledon car boot a couple of months ago and barely shifted any books at 50p each. Some of them were quite new novels as well. In the past I have sold tons for 50p each though, so who knows.......

    Really want to do another car boot before baby gets here as we still have tons of junk cluttering up the garage.

    Hopefully people will snap them up. We have a whole chest full, as well as a bookcase full and others just piling up that we have read or dont want to read lol.

    I might take say 30 books and go from that :)

    hello - I am finally joining in. I sold my birth pool and a mobile phone and got £70 and £80 respectively that's a total of £150. Can I be added to the totals please? :D

    Now a quick question - I have a couple of new tagged items of baby clothes (outfits) should I list those individually? Also have an odd assortment of baby items I'm not sure whether I should try and sell (is it worth the hassle?) give away or keep :rotfl: in the off chance we ever do this again :rotfl: any hints and tips ladies????? esp those on child number two or more :D

    ETA: I've just listed my spin and explore lamaze garden gym - anything I get will go towards buying LO a jumperoo :D

    I'll pop you on now honey :)

    I'm not sure about how to sell baby clothes either, I personally wouldn't buy 2nd baby clothes so I don't know how to sell them IYSWIM I can't decide if I should seperate unisex and boys or basics and outfits??

    If a link to that garden gym found it's way into my PM box I wouldn't be upset at all ;) :whistle:

    Sami - I would group them into unisex, then basics like sleepsuits, vests etc and then list the clothes in bundles. Maybe put some really nice outfits on as singles :confused:

    As you know I've bought all my stuff second hand but not off eBay!

    Been very busy on eBay but mostly selling OH's stuff - have sold 18 items with another 8 active now. Will get another load listed tomorrow.

    If I tell you what we buy and sell, I'll have to kill you :rotfl:

    What profit I have made has gone on buying pram accessories!

    EA - I sold books at a car boot awhile back and asked for 50p a book but as the morning went on if someone was interested I said 3 for £1.

    Will be doing a car boot in the next few weeks to clear some room for my little man's arrival! :j

    Where does the time go? :think:
