  • Hi - feeling a bit better about myself now - just managed to get a load of things onto turbo lister. So hopefully load them up and watch them sell! Also have a few things ending tonight that have bids on so feeling more positive. Also payday this week - that always helps! Have written out a budget all ready for this month - the only way I can make inroads into my debt is via ebay really so I need to go for it even when I dont feel like it!

    Please add me!

    I have joined the decluttering group but this might be better as it is all about ebay.

    I have sold 26 things in 2010 and made enough profit to buy a dehumidifier for £95 which we desperately need and have £83.19 left in our ebay account.

    We have bought a few bargain things in from a couple of sales and CPC which we have listed. Will only make about £1 profit an item on average but all adds up. We have 2 boxes of these bits in our bedroom and i keep finding myself looking for more......however i have now decided to concentrate on selling stuff i have in the house to get rid of first and then once that is all listed concentrate on sale items and job lots i can find.

    I have books and a few items that won't shift currently listed on ebay but i just keep relisting hoping they will go eventually :)

    Good Luck everyone....hopefully spending the next couple of hours sorting through the shed!!

    Money raised is all going to pay off my next account. :T

    :j Woohoo i have finally sorted the shed!! A fair few dead spiders but no live ones so that was all good!

    Now i have about 15 items in my kitchen to clean up and list :-)

    Hardly anything left in the shed. Just our bikes, a few outdoor toys, paint and halloween decorations! :T Success!!!

    Pretty much decided we are going to get married abroad now to be able to do it sooner...so looks like i'll need to find a heck of a lot of things to sell!!

    I hope everyone had a great sunday :D

    after a slow start to the month - having to invest to sell- l have exceded even my expectations this month, not sure how long this will keep up so just making the most of it and saving it. All l know is this forum has been the biggest help in focusing me to do it and l get inspiration form all the posts however small the sale. Another week left how much can we all sell-Come on sell sell sell. If its not screwed down put it on ebay LOL

  • Well done on the sales Smem, I am aiming to sell, sell, sell now, going to try and do at least 5 a day, will be going around finding anything and everything to sell.

    My mum gave me some flower arranging and cake decorating books to sell and some CD's that her neighbour gave her so did some of those and have some more CD's to do, she said she has lots of books so will see how these ones go first before I list too many.

    l'm sure these books will sell toomuchdept but l know how labour and time intensive listing books is - but come on only a week left of Feb - bring on the sales and profits

  • When I was listing the CD's it was annoying as I was typing in the ISBN number and it was bringing up the CD with a different cover and different year, I had one that was 1995 and it was bringing up one with a different cover in 1997, was a pain so I shall have to take my own pics and do them.

    Need to have a good sort out again.

    Hope you get some more sales this week. I sold a few things on my Business account.
