Hi
Sorry t be nosey did you do the computer games with ebay, just that little Miss Hoodie has got some ds games she doesn't want and think theres about 3 left that didn't go on ebay/ xx

I sold two Wii games on ebay which went for about the same prices as in the shops, one which went for way more than store cost, and one DS game that went for pennies after the free postage was taken off.

I should see where you will get the best price first!

Did anyone else get the email from Qype? Apparently they are doing another promotion in February but it is just for those with "ninja" status. It said I am not far away so I went on to see and it said I needed 395 more points to become eligible so sat and found a lot of places etc in my home town that wasnt yet reviewed and managed to get up the to 1000 points needed. Now they have sent an email saying they will be having a look at my profile to see if I am up to scratch and can become a ninja lol.

I received £25 from Zee Sweets this afternoon so I will use this towards getting some fabrics for my eldest daughter's quilt she wants for Christmas.

firstly i know youre all dying to know...i found raffle ticket books lol £1 in tesco, not the cheapest but the closest and i had never noticed them there before

Dooyoo i am up to 42390... just 2 more a night and i should hit 50.

ebay- i didnt think i would sell anything but thought i would give it a go...the most strange things are selling.
-a bendy flower i was given (from a charity shop about 50p) has 3 bids and is up to 1.70 lol,
-a bear i got with a bunch of flowers once started at 99p and is now up to £9 something because one woman wants it for her daughter who has the bear already but wants a standby incase she loses it...
-and this evening a j'adore giftset was listed and within minutes had a message asking for a buy it now price, i changed it to £20.00 and someone ELSE won it! lol wish i had gone higher now but there was a few the same on there.

oh and a bra i was given by an ex, people wanted me to post to australia and poland etc it ended up going to a lady in the uk for £9. it was brand new with tags worth £30 odd quid but i never thought anyone would want that!

may have to start upping my prices! Im currently at £49.79 total sales but some are still being bid on so hopefully it keeps going!

VERY IMPRESSED!

lastly...i became an avon sales leader on thursday, i need 5 in my team before i earn commission, signed 2 up on thursday, one next monday and one on tuesday....so almost hit my target in a week and a half! GO ME!!!

Wow, thought I was doing well on ebay til I read other posts!!! And I've just remembered I haven't worked out ebay fees and all that. Ah well, sold 4 out of 7 items :T, have been trying to relist as a couple had watchers, but I get signed out everytime I try for some reason :mad:
Not doing very well with dooyoo, but it's money for nothing really, and I don't get time to do reviews everyday. I will definitely keep going with it, I just won't be making a fortune!
Well done all of you who are!:T

Just checked my Ebay things and found 2 have got bids and another one has got a watcher. The bids are only for the 99p starting price but it's better than nothing especially considering I'm only selling stuff that's lying around not being used. One of the items has 4 watchers so I'm hoping it will go for a bit more anyway

Just wrote a review on dooyoo - I did a recipe after reading some. However it hasn't credited me with the 500 points, does anyone know if recipes don't get the points? I know reviews in discussion don't get points but I hadn't read the same about recipes. I seem to be getting the 15 points everytime the recipe is read though, so at least it wasn't wasted time.

Well, better go and mark some maths books, it's too easy to waste time on the internet

Just had some good news. Zee points were supposed to pay me £5 in my paypal account over a week ago. I had to email them as last time payment was requested, it was there instantly. I just checked my emails and they paid £20 in my paypal account because the payment went missing first time apparently. Woo hoo.

Its the older games like Wall.e, we sold 10 on ebay,cheapest was £4.99 dearest Hannah Montana went for £10.50, but postage got to come out.

If you car boot them,people only want to pay 50p for them.
Def have a look around. xx

The recipie is classed as discussion, which you do for the love of reviewing!!! u just get the points from them being read.x

I see, thanks. It didn't take long to write and it has been rated 23 times already so I'm not that bothered. I wouldn't have had time to write a proper review last night as I like to put plenty of detail in, so at least writing the recipe earnt me some points with it being rated - better than nothing

Thanks Rufus, I didn't get the email so just checked I'm already a Ninja so that must be why, will keep an eye on Qype for the next offer now:j:j
