These are lovely wee coats that I bought in the (Woolworths) Ladybird sale at 75% off + discount voucher/Quidco.
I'm going to sell any left over items from this lot and any clothes, toys etc around the house that I can't sell on ebay, at an NCT (National Childbirth Trust) Sale at the end of the month. I used to sell and buy there when my son was young and would usually make around £40.00 profit. They sell for you and take 25%.
oo have you got a link, i would love to see if they have one in my area, i get quite aot of kiddies clothes in at work, still with tags...
Edit.... if it helps anyone i dont mind buddying up with someone to hold their hand, to give extra support...as at the moment everyone is full of gusto and energy, and we want to keep it like that, as between us if most of us get near the 10k mark,,,, we would be the mse millionaires thread...lol.. but scrooge will give you the exact figures....Work to live= not live to work0 -
Add me too please!! I've decided to take the plunge and have ago, i haven't got the £100 to start but I have a garage full of stuff to sell that should get me off to a good start (assuming it sells of course)
I also have an idea I am researching at the moment and thinking of the usual mystery shopping/surveys/dooyoo and avon. Need to work out where to get the time as well
I am starting on Monday as kids and DH all back at work/school and I should get some peace and quiet0 -

sorry have no idea, but wouldnt think it would have much impact as your paying it back within a short space of time. may even have a positive impact as it shows your trusted? hopefully somebody will come along soon that will be able to adviseskintbint x

dont forget to open a Halifax and Bank of Scotland bank account and put/transfer 1k into it everymonth for your free £5 form each account a month, easiest £10 you will make, so that will be £120 per year.:D
it is sooooooooooo easy.... its easy if its internet banking, put some money into a account lets say £50 and then just transfer back and fore between the two accounts 20 times, so in theory you have put in 1k into the account....
not to sure if they are on a cashback site for opening an account...Work to live= not live to work0 -

It is the $64000 dollar question.As a rule Sunday night is the best time,but if your items are rare,I find listing them at daft times means people will put higher prices in auction sniping programmes.I sell quite often in the USA and you do have to factor the time difference in sometimes.Again on a different note,I have been listing all my items at 99p start recently to avoid fees,and I've done very well-the low price start in collectables attracts more watchers.
If you're selling ladies stuff (make up, perfume, clothes etc) I find the best time for ending auctions is Wednesday night. There is usually nothing on TV, no soaps etc So more ladies are likely to be perusing the internet.0 -

Morning everyone,I've had a great few days selling and winning on BB including £100.00 last night,but as I've attempted to withdraw cash,I have to leave it another 72 hours :mad:
Well today I'm listing (again).........! The pot is simmering at present,I've only spent £25.00 at the moment and I'm past the £500.00 mark (but that is due to selling old bits too
Remember,there are no rules at all
I have mentioned that I want to cut the weekly shopping by at least £20.00 per week.I will do this,and that WILL be another £1040.00 in the pot by the end of this year !
I still can't believe it's 2010,you are all doing fantastic,keep at it,keep focused,believe in YOU.
We are all in this together,so lets help each other.
AS a New Year Gift to all of you I'm going to GIVE you all some great information.
No doubt this will be sold on Ebay,but here goes.
Many times a year there are trade fairs around the UK and the world.There is one in Exeter from the 17th of this month.You can register online if you are a business for FREE tickets.
What you can also do is look through the exibitors lists,most of these have websites,so you can see what and how much you can purchase items for.
Here is the link for the list
These people do not run any type of affiliate programme,so I believe I'm okay to post this link,it is also available by searching for event organisers......as you can do yourselves and get more of these events and lists for FREE.
Here is the link for the Exeter gift fair,very interesting reading.
Remember,unless these products are made by these exibitors,they have had to source them either by agents,by contacting manufactures,by purchasing directly from China,Hong Kong wherever.
These lists will inspire you to your own ideas,use them wisely.If you see this info for sale on Ebay,report it,as it is copyright infringement of THIS site.Plus as MSE we do not want people getting charged for it when it is openly free information.
When you are all millionaires,please do not forget me,as I've not forgotten you lot !:T:T:T"Do not let what you can't do interfere with what you can do."0
