    More advice here!
    Want to sell a tent on the bay of E... the tent is massive, and weighs about 16 kilos in its bag.
    Do i just slap a label on it, or do i have to wrap it up in some way?

    I would wrap it up in black bin bags if nothing else and then put and address lable on or get people to collect it.

    I'd tape a few black bags around it just to make it look more parcel-ie

    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

    Ahh good idea!
    I'll poke a hole in the top (and tape round the edges) for the bags handle, cos it is bloody heavy!
    Awesome..thanks for that, i'll get listing :D

    Kudos lindseykim13 for parcel-ie ;)

    esqulax - if it is really heavy and awkward i would probably get rubble bags or garden sacks as they are a bit more heavy duty so shouldnt rip in transit if you're sending by carrier - i would probably also hold onto it until march if putting on ebay
