    Yeah, but I can write !!!!!!...so there.

    (lir wonders if this is in fact a talent about which to boast?:confused:)

    I managed a novella. It sold for less than two dollars a pop and frankly by the time I got my cut I could have made more selling the Big Issue outside Tescos.

    But you could write the novella from the comfort of home. Selling the Big Issue must be thankless and cold.
  • Why are asking prices falling if sentiment (backed up by seeing 'sold' prices go up) is increasing ? Can it all be explained by current sellers trying to sell before xmas or the stamp duty rise ?

    Trust me, it was thankless. I prostituted what little talent I have for the grand total of 131 dollars less change.

    Next year I am getting a paper round:rolleyes:

    i doubt before xmas as selling prices have been increasing. i guess there has been a bit of urgency to get the cheaper sales through before the stamp duty holiday ends.

    saving £1,750 on your property purchase probably won't be stopping many people buying in 2010?
