Where to sell odds n' ends

Sorting out flat for moving back home for the summer, got loads of odd bits, like a computer kettle power cord, a poloroid izone camera, cheap pair of headphones and well general tat.

Is there a way to sell this without a carboot sale (haven't got a car)

Thought of putting it all in a box on ebay?

Any ideas?

  • Might be worth a go on eBay, but you'll have to be really creative with your selling technique! You might even try advertising it as something like a "lucky dip" or "mystery" box. I think it's unlikely to sell well though, and may cost more to post than it's actually worth, so you'd probably be better keeping your listing fees and donating the goods to a charity shop.
    I've sold at a car boot sale with no car before, and you're right, it's more hassle than it's worth! If you have a friend with a car and some tat of their own to get rid of, maybe you could ask if they'd like to share a car boot stall with you (you could pay the pitch fee and they could supply the car!)
