    Does anyone know how to find locations of Bancrupt Stock and Police auctions BTW? Figure they might prove to be very useful in this little challenge! :D

    Thanks Sally22 :) Oh, and Bing0 for the PM :)
    a few police forces use bumblebeeauctions.co.uk, but you have to be able to collect a lot of the stuff.
    Not 100% about others though!
    The stuff i bought was through a mate who wont tell me the site :( i'll get it out of him though ;)

    Just a slight update on me.. :)
    I still have my £100, not touched it yet.
    Listed some computer games on ebay, and made £92, and used £40 of that to buy some bits from a bankrupt stock website.
    Along with a rebate from the water company, sitting at £62.56, and were on Day 2. Maybe a bit less, as i've not looked at how much ive spent on postage, but that will amount to about £6 or £7.. will properly update my sig (when i get round to doing it in the first place)
    Its all good!
    Ok.. need some advice, im looking to sell a computer game which, due to the bits and bobs involved, comes in a big box. how can i work out postage on it, and is it easy enough just to bring to the Post office?
    Well done! :T

    If you end up needing a courier (for insurance or whatever) then TCB have parcelforce on £4 per parcel.
    Still might not be the cheapest though.
    This is my opinion. There are many others like it but this is mine

    On a random side note..

    I am so annoyed at bb if you email to complain they get in a strop and have dissabled my bonus now. I don't really care about that i just want my winnings out now and to get rid. I can't believe they can get away with changing the rules just because they didn't get their own way :mad:

    I have kept my emails polite and they got all stroppy!


    Yes, I know the feeling, I was polite to start with and they started getting stroppy so I got a bit more forceful as I am only asking for my £20 deposit to be returned and the account closed. I have no winnings but they have disabled my account and taken my own £20.

    Won £45.00 on BB will have to wait another 111 minutes before I can withdraw (as won £60.00 the other day),but it has to be over £50 now I think,can I wait till tomorow for the free £5.00 and withdraw ?

    Thanks everyone.

    The wholesalers I have used have come via the site I'm recommending.I've used several for over 5 years and one of them I purchase seconds from......made a fortune !
