    hermum - sell them all- it is so depressing looking at clothes you used to fit into. Put aside some of the money you make on them and buy one key piece as a treat and its something nice to aim for.

    Re postage and packaging l always offer free UK postage then l can use all my recycled packaging and send as cheap as possible without people moaning - l make sure the price reflects postage as well so am not out of pocket - people like to think they are getting something for nothing, don't we all.

  • I'm getting ready for an epic list-athon... Aiming to list 20 new items (all junk so will be glad to get £1 for it). Looks like I'll have plenty to relist as well, as only 6 of my items have bids on (I have 15 listed).

    Hi. I'd like to join this list. I made £152 last month selling the last of my 80's Smash Hits. :j

    This week, I started to put my Number Ones online. I sold 2 of my Madonna ones for £11 each and a Michael Jackson one for £21! :eek::T

    I'm going away this weekend, so I'm not listing anything this week. I also want to see how many of my "competitors" are going to be selling their mags with or without postage. I've been selling mine at a set price of £2.50 during compulsary P & P and was one of the cheapest sellers, But I'd like to be able to give discounts for multiple buyers and still offer free postage. I'm not sure how I can do that. :( Should I also be offering BIN's ?

    Welcome steer. I used to have hundreds of copies of Smash hits from my childhood and my mum recycled all of them :(

    On the magazine front; I send mine 2nd class and it costs £1.85. I'm just wondering if anybody folds the magazines in half to send it at a cheaper rate?

    I have decided not to list any tonight as I'm going to try tmd's approach and list on Mondays and Tuesdays. Hoping that op will be done early and I can get out of hospital quickly.

    Aiming to make £250 this week :o

    Every weekend I used to buy about 5 different magazines growing up (dad used to spoil me rotten) and when we moved mum said we couldn't keep them any longer as "you'll never read them again", so she got rid of boxes and boxes of lovely mags. Argghhh
