I have an ebay question.

When you list on ebay, do you list a starting price of £0.99 or do you try to start with the absolute minimum you would accept?

Of the 9 items I've listed I started all but 2 at 99p and 4.99 for the ones that I figured should get a bit more (digital camera that works but has a fault on the corner of the LCD, and an Apple Power Adaptor), but I"m wondering if, when I'm listing the rest of my stuff, I should try to be a bit more specific about values or just take the view that I want to get rid of this stuff and that if it's worth it, people will pay?

I have to be honest and say that I start everything at 99p. One because its free to list, and two it generates lots of interest:A.

I'm just about to pop on a North Face bodywarmer and a Mens Barbour jacket, both starting at 99p

Having just completed another Global Testmarket survey, I am now only 33 points away from a £30 cheque .

The surround sound system has just been sold and picked up for £40 on Gumtree:j:j:j:j:j:j.

£40 transferred immediately to the Aussie pot!

Have listed quite a few items of furniture and soft furnishings on Gumtree. Haven't yet made a start on the eBay pile which is growing and growing!!!!

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:CONFESSION ALERT!:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

I have just bought myself a SLR camera on eBay for £235:o. Haven't confessed to hubby yet, but I have always wanted one and this is the cheapest I've seen them for a while. I vow to make £235 on the stuff I'm listing on eBay tonight to replace the money which has been taken from the Aussie pot to pay for this.

Honest guv!:D

Plus I have a Sony Cybershot camera which should fetch £75ish to sell so really it only cost me £160:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

Nando's was yummy, now back to the business of selling.

Granted its not the best time of year to be selling some of this stuff, but below is what I have listed on eBay.

North Face Bodywarmer
Mens Barbour Jacket
Mens Ralph Lauren beanie hat
Accessorize maxi dress
French Connection dress
Navy Linea trousers
Zara padded jacket

Still have more to sell, but to be honest I'm just about to go and cuddle in on the corner sofa with my hubby and my son, to watch the Million Pound Drop before bed.

I have been quietly following you for some time (normally on my morning commute) and just wanted to say huge congrats on your move to Australia and also all your selling on Ebay and GUmtree.
