    Dooyoo is great! If you PM me your e-mail address I will send you an invite... each review has to be at least 150 words long, you get 500 miles a review (50p) and miles every time somebody rates your review... you can then convert your miles into either Amazon vouchers or a £50 cheque!!

  • Hi please can you add me to this challenge, will be starting from tomorrow. thanks
  • Can you add me too please? I am going to try and make it with private tutoring, ebay, amazon, bingo, promotions, quidco and as much else as I can! Thanks for all the helpful hints-I am going to scour the past 40 odd pages of this thread and see what other ideas I can find.

    Spent £80 so far, £10 on bingo, and £70 on 45 online sale items (so around £1.55 per item, bedding sets and M&S school uniform clothing which I am hoping will sell on ebay, if not I have 16 duvet sets and 29 school uniform bits I won't need!). Not sure what to spend the other £20 on yet.
    I love this board, have "virtually" met so many lovely people, people I am honoured to count as friends.

  • Hi... all does anyone want to buy my hubby:beer: dont know if you would make a profit on the lazy misribly old git:mad:

    any way.... i need a bit of feed back and thoughts here..

    IF you were going to buy tagged high street clothes ranging from george... next... atmosphere... dorothy perkins....monsoon etc....all mixed to re-sell on whether back on ebay or at bootsales, doing your own party plan selling to friends and neighbours etc

    would you pay 20% or 15% of the tag price,, in lots of 10...20...25 items, and this to include the postage...

    so if the tag price is £20 you would £4 at 20% or £3 at 15%

    I bought 2 items of stock with my £100 and have just been paid for them on ebay I got £200 so doing well so far.
    I wish I had the money to buy more but never mind, maybe next time I will.

    I have been doing alot of research on an item that interests me, it sells well on ebay so I have spent the last few weeks following the power sellers, watching what they list/sell and when. I am looking at £5 per item reselling at £10 per item plus postage (small amount added here to cover fee) so I'm going to spend £150 next week (once the kids are back at school) on stock. How exciting!

    Final post for today. My girlfriend and i are looking to save £30,000 in 18mths for a deposit for a house. This year we are going to be focused from day one. I have drawn up budgets, lists, plans and everything and this is very achievable but will take some effort and forward thinking.

    Last night i asked my girlfriend to write down everything she has to buy (not food etc but everything else for the next 12mths) As mentioned yesterday we have brought 80% of our Christmas presents for next year already and now some of the birthday presents. Her list included this cream that she is low on. Its £20 a bottle and she uses 1 maybe 2 bottles a year. Yesterday we brought 2 for £12 in the sale saving us £28. This continued through the list and we saved between 30 - 50% on most items.

    As long we continue to use them at the same rate (can't see why we wouldn't) we will have saved on average 40% of our cosmetics costs for the year without changing brands.

    One last thing she also she likes Victoria Beckham perfume. i wanted to get her the gift set with cream before Christmas. I had seen the prices in many stores and on-line and it fluctuated between £9.99 and £22.50!! I was ready to buy it at £9.99 when i saw that it was on sale on a website i visit at £7.99. I brought 10 of them. I gave her one for christmas, kept one for her birthday (March) and sold the other 8 for £16.99 each on ebay. (worry she got other stuff too)

    If you know the market, the value and the demand for an item you can make money. I would suggest that people looking for ideas should start with the things they buy for themselves, their family and other and work from there. T

    Happy new year all

    Well the things I'd buy for myself are Xbox 360 games and cosmetics, But I'm assuming the games trade would be risky and the cosmetics well I have no idea where to start. I don't want to make loads of money just a bit to keep me ticking over.

    Where do I start! What product do I start with ARGH its so confusing
