Can anyone reccommend a good wholesale/bankrupt stock website they have used? Ive had a little search but it would be good to look at reliable ones

I have sold them in the past and have been told that they are lovely but that avenue has dried up now. I dont seem to be able to see any new avenues- any inspiration?
I dont lack drive, I just lack direction at the mo- and I do really want to strive for success in this challenge!:T

Murie, What about wedding invitations, with matching thank you cards and place names? Not only weddings but special anniversaries, golden wedding etc. Also what about doing birthday cards for older people eg 75, 80, 90 and even 100. Congratulations on your Divorce? Maybe not on eBay but locally - table top sales, craft fairs - make some samples up in a nice folder and push the fact that whatever you make is personalised towards that person. Good Luck once the inspiration comes you will be well away

Well done everyone so far, 363 days to go so ages to go.

Well done Hannah on the NL win.

I've been clearing out the DS's bedrooms could cry at the amount of things I could have listed on Ebay before Christmas, don't want to put it on just yet as I don't think toys will be selling exceptionally well at the minute, but I can hold off and will put them in the loft for now.

Luckily our car boots on throughout the year even though its outdoors so the first decent Thursday after the kids go back (not till 11th) I'll be there.

Keep going everyone, I've done Ebay for a while now selling the clutter and it can get a bit disheartening when things don't sell, but keep going, January seems to be quite good £50+ bids at the mo.

Hehe.. just had something pointed out by a mate, im using my macbookpro for all my computering needs at the moment (as my main compy melted) so on my lounge table i have the laptop, a set of scales (for weighing packages) and a printer. on the shelfy bit underneath theres a pile of padded envelopes, packing paper scissors n sellotape!
Totally unplanned, but ive constructed a little 'office'

Assuming that you started with £100 pounds thats 20% which is fantastic considering sticking it in a bank for a whole year would prob only yield about £3

Can I join in please. Been reading through various suggestions so signed up to playtrade yesterday and listed a few things just logged into my emails to find I have a sale only £3.99 (yet to see what postage is) but was no outlay for it really was practically given a load of dvd's when i was carbooting last year it was awful weather I think everyone wanted to go home! Sorted through wardrobe not much to sell but at least more spacious have vacuum bagged the summer stuff. Popped to car boot today but still have my whole £100 spotted nothing worth buying yet one lady was selling loads of costume/junk necklaces for 50p each I bought one for myself but that did remind me of one of the other lady carbooter last summer used to make a killing selling junk jewellery for £2 upwards she'd buy it in tangled lots on ebay or at a local auction maybe an idea for crafty people to make as junk jewellery in shops these days seems really pricey.
