The turn £100.00 into £10.000.00+ by the end of 2010 official thread

molit

just thinking about doing car boot sales with ebay unfriendly stuff, and hit on a minior snag. My car boot is tiny. Now the car is a hatchback, but even so, its not going to fit much in

Toying with the idea of buying a second old vehicle, like an old volvo estate with 6 months tax, rather than have to hire a van each time I want to do a car boot...Sure I cant be the only one in this predicament. Anyone have any ideas?

I can't believe someone has bid snow up to that amount. I might go and collect some and try my luck! :P

I'll be your buddy!!

No offence to amber and mabel but maybe three is too many??? I think the system might work out better with just two. Although mabel...I;m still here for you!!

I am looking at web based sales.... done ebay, not ventured into play or amazon yet but looking at it!

Wha' do ya say??

Congratulations on your duvet sale Mambury :-) I've just been to the post office at Bickington, road icing up already. Saw one person walking down the pavement slip over- why is it so funny??!!! Probably because it's someone else. She wasn't hurt BTW- I'm not that evil.

got a friend nearby that can help? Swap cars for the day maybe??

Or do as I have done in the past..... boxes of stuff in the car boot, on the back seats, in the footwells, on the passenger seat! Its amazing what you can fit in when you need to!

would something like that be a fair weather car? I know when we had classic vw's they reached better prices in the summer months than the winter....

Might be worth hanging on to it until the weather warms up.

Mambury

All classics (near as blow it) sell better in the summer...

My Dilemma is if I really WANT to sell it. It is, technically, My first car (although, not my first roadworthy one! :rotfl: - took me three years to get it on the road!)

I was contemplating sending them back ( sale from the catalogue!!) if they didn't sell so if the rest don't go I shall send them back, get a refund and buy something else....

Well my nearest post office is in bradworthy about 4 miles through country roads and a steep valley! mmmnnnn it might be an interesting journey. We've not had the bins picked up for a month now and no post since monday!

I am still here for you mabel! Its nice to know there is someone fairly nearby!

Mambury.

PS I would have laughed too!
