    Just reread this and realised the significance of this bit ... Thanks again. Definitely food for thought (although I have to admit my head is swimming with the things at the moment ... one more thought couldn't hurt could it :eek:).
    You need a barcode though, so it's not suitable for everything.
    It can also be a bit tricky to do, with it not accepting in some categories.

    Basically I wouldn't advise on getting a subscription soley on the basis of that. ;)

    If you need a product adding though I could see if it's possible or maybe add it. :beer:

    This is my opinion. There are many others like it but this is mine

    how do you subscribe to a thread? I would like to subscribe to this one but can't see how too.

    By posting in the thread you should be subscribed to it if that's what you meant. If your not in the challenge and want to join in just say so and scrooge2008 will add you to the insanity roster ... er, I mean list ;).

  • Well done all. i can assure you that this can be done as I have done it every year for the past 5 years. I started in late 2004 with 100.00. I worked out the other day that I have increased this to 60,000. Paid off my mortage and built an extension on the house too.
    There's only one real secret to it. You have to find something that is a niche, that you are interested in and that you can become expert in quite quickly. If you have recently started on ebay and are only just breaking even, or even losing a bit, do not despair. This happened to me in the first few months. But I kept at it, weeded out all the items that were not bringing in a profit and developed those that were, just like natural selection.

    I'm not sure that wholesalers are the way to go. It it was worth selling separately, then others would have found it, or the wholesales would develop a retail section. I sincerely believe (through experience) that boot sales, small auction houses, house clearance sales and occasional jumble sales are what does it.

    if you like china, research it and go into it. If you are interested in the war, go for battle memorabilia. Nothing could be more dull than selling something you loathe and is BORING.

    Oh, and invest in a good camera, do not rely on a self help book (they only make money for the publisher and the author) and develop excellent customer relationships. Repeat buyers are the way forward!

    best of luck.

    Wow I am impressed!!! Thanks for your contribution, very motivational. I have been bootsaling on and off since I was 14 back when they first started in my area, done some ebaying, even had a shop....but as I said before my problem is sticking to it can't keep up the motivation or the momentum.....and not found my niche! I am book mad but they dont seem to bring in much unless you find some rare ones!

    So should it be in my email inbox when updated? Is that how it works? I have tried to follow a few threads but forget the title and then can't find them again?! I'm being very dull here I think!!

    I am glad I came across this as really want to give the ebaying and bootie-ing a good go this year, always toyed with it but to no great degree... and house full of clutter 'to be sold at later date' is driving me mad!

    Don't think I will make £10k though it would be very nice. Where do you put your profits to stop dipping into them? Thats my main problem!!

    Folks,

    Good luck in this challenge, I have not joined up...YET, but I am in the process of sorting things out.

    A quick question about Bingo Britain, I deposited £10 and got my £10 bonus. I lost my original deposit fairly quickly and today I have £15 in my bonus account. How do I access this money to play?

    Thanks


    Anyone????

    If you click on Quick Links above (just above the top set of thread page numbers) there is an option saying Subscribed Threads. Click on it, and hopefully all the threads you have posted in or subscribed to (as explained Turkish Delight "VictoriaPlum1- just under the pages there is a line of options- click on thread tools. :)") should be there for you to choose from. If not, there is a setting somewhere to automatically subscribe you to threads you post in ... just need to remember where ;).
