    I've just done my first musicmagpie stuff - a bunch of cds and games we haven't listened to or played for ages and it came to about £23 so not bad for a lot less effort than fleabay! mainly DS's stuff so sadly not all my money...

    That is not bad for a pile of CD.s they dont sell too well on Car Boots and you get hardly anything for them on Ebay........we have 100's of CD's but I doubt OH would part with even 1:rolleyes:

    I must start Ebaying in these last 2 weeks of the holidays once I get back to work I just know I wont do any at all.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    I have sold allsorts, at one point OH told me to stop as I was selling stuff that he wanted to keep:o

    You should start selling I think Jinks, once that money starts rolling in it gets quite addictive, I bet you have loads of stuff if you havent sold anything before.

    Most of the money came from DS's games - he did provide me with the pile honest:D! I had a couple of CD's that came to a fiver but the rest were only about 50p each.
    Lou, I am sick of stuff hanging about cluttering so if it isn't used or listened to it's going! ebay charges, postage then paypal really bring the prices down so for half an hours work I think it's not a bad result...
    Jinks, if you and Mr Dazco are ever going to get together properly you'll have TONS of stuff to sell so get started now on something small and painless! Bet your DS has loads he'd like selling too.
    We probably have lots more to go yet but with that money, ebay and survey money I'm doing not too badly in the extra money stakes this month:D.

    You would think so wouldnt you?

    But although I have a few CD's he has almost none

    And DS trades in all his games and has about 3 CD's:rotfl:

    I hardly listen to mine though, so I should check it out really
    Will do it next week:D

    Having a wee break - have washed the car, cleaned out the shed (aka spidercentral :eek::eek:), found a load of kiddie toys for carboot amongst the spiders... also had a wee watch of some bees and some butterflies - tis a nature garden honest;)! Found a figurine thing in garage so off to see if it's worth anything...

    Don't think the figurine is worth much but might stick it on ebay and see how it does.... Tidied a bit more and found some coppers hanging about so about 50p up on the day!
    Would just like to say I have a humungous buddleia (sp?) bush in the garden which is also known as the butterfly bush and where are all the butterflies hanging out? on the trampoline and on my washing... the bees seem to like it though so I'm doing my bit!

    We have a huge one outside where I used to work. The butterflies do love it - perhaps your T-shirts look like flowers... ;)
