    Bingo0, i am not trying to freighten people....lol.... just being realistic...

    i personally think by knowing these types of figures will help you along.... it has allways helped he in the past when i needed to find/make money..

    the weekly figure is a good one to work by..as a smaller figure is achieveable and keeps you focused, if you try to keep to this on a weekly basis, the task isnt so freightening....

    its like when you have alot of debt its best to break it down into small manageable amounts...

    this could be made by a few things.....

    carboot sale and a some items on ebay.

    daily clicks, and a few hours on slice the pie.

    any pennies loose money you see on the street PICK IT UP,,,, its suprising how this can add up.

    aslo i have found when doing bootsales,,, i alllways ask people to make me an offer, as alot of the time they offer more than what you wanted;) this is for the cheaper things...

    right back to sorting some books out to list on Amazon...

    As Bingo0 said you get good weeks and not so good weeks.....

    aslo dont forget saving money is also making money...

    If you were growing or producing the product yourself, does that still apply?

    Do farmers pay tax on their earnings ? :confused:

    What a great idea! I'm not sure of how much time I can put in but I am certainly up for the challenge!

    Count me in!

    I am liking this, there is a whole heap of things i have to sell.. which i think would be prudent to rid myself of before buying more to sell!

    Im heading home on monday,my personal target will be to have EVERYTHING that i want sold on ebay or in the paper by this day next week.

    What i do need though, is a box big enough for a chair.. might head up to my local electrical store and see if they can help me out!

    Through some introspection, i've realised that my main problem is that im too lazy. plain and simple. although reading a few of the stories on here has lit a bit of a fire!
    I got given £100 (well a bit more, but i need the extra for car tax in the NY) and thats my capital. aiming to start my boot sale trawlage week after next, when all my junk has been sold!

    Just to crystallize the challenge for some peeps, you just need to make on average an extra £192.30 a week for 52 weeks! Obviously you can make as much as you want and you may make more than this in some weeks and less in others, but that is the average target figure you need to aim for! GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE TAKING PART!
  • lol..and the cheapest way to save your loose change is get an old squash bottle, but an x in the top (watch your fingers)

    then super glue the top to the bottle:rotfl:

    it doesnt look uch, but it does the trick, saves you buying a money tin for a £ or two, and you can see your pennies mounting up

    here is my one.....

    I tell you what else works well and that is and gravy/coffee glass jars. You can soak the labels off and get a clean jar. If you get enough you can one jar foe each denomination to save sorting at a later date. Have read on here that Pringle or smartie tubes work just as well.
