    Have been a busy little bee on the money saving front. Speculate to accumulate in some cases does pay off!

    Spent $20 on a tailors mannequin to sell some clothing on ebay. I have to say I suspect it sold for a good bit more as I was able to photograph it well as opposed to on a hanger! Plus have been selling on the local Secret Harbour Buy and Sell page on Facebook. I have managed to makeover our theatre with the money I've made buying 2 new sofas and a new sideboard :).

    Happy money saver!

    Not sure if your local areas has a Facebook buy and sell page, but if not why don't you start one? Ours has over 6000 members and stuff sells really quick, and because its the local area people can drop by and pick it up quickly. Just a thought.....

    Have been doing well with the eBay sales, just transferred $200 to my bank account. Have been listing a fair bit on the local Buy and Sell Facebook page, and seem to be making $10-20 per day at the minute just selling bits and bobs we don't use. All going towards the mortgage deposit :)
