    Apart from the one thing I listed yesterday, I've listed nothing yet.

    But I HAVE done a lot of housework today, so I will have to accept that my productiveness has been channeled elsewhere so far :o

    Is that allowed :confused:

    Please :D

    Yes that's OK - as a fellow housework-avoider I understand that getting a lot of housework done is an achievement to be celebrated too.

    Hey Seaxwyn good to see your managing to get some ebay stuff done... i really need to take a leaf out of your book and get back into it. I looked out a lot of stuff last night but am struggling to do anything today. I've spent most of the day in tears and feeling really depressed.... cant seem to snap out of it!

    Hope you manage to get some good bids on you items once they are all listed

    Sorry to hear you are feeling so low buddiebabe. I hope you feel better in the morning.

    I am now going to bed having listed six items on ebay. Only six and it seems to have taken half the day. OH is doing 2 more tonight I hope. We have loads more stuff to list so hope we can speed up!

    I managed 27 books on Amazon. Researched about 100 and these are the ones that may make even a small profit.

    Lego and Duplo look like good money...I'm still on the "Sell It and Die" embargo. A lot of bit seem to sell well as specialist items, selling single duplo animals or mum and baby animals rather than selling a whole zoo set if that helps at all.

    Also OH swears that collecting brick types and colours also works well for adult collectors so 2x2 Blue Bricks or 4x2 flat plates. And wheels and tyres are very popular as well.

    Advice from the Lego Lads...15 x 60L boxes of the stuff!!

    Thanks kissjenn! DS and I spent a wearisome hour washing all the Duplo. It is so hard to get clean! I've sorted it into 'lots' as you suggest - zoo bits, train bits, plain bricks etc. it should make a bit of money if we don't go made with the boredom of photographing and listing it all. I much prefer Amazon! Good luck with your 27 books. I've been selling on Amazon for a few years now and find I generally sell about 10% of what I have listed each month. The 10% remains fairly constant whether I list new stuff or not.
