  • Hi, I had a mad list-frenzy over half term and got almost 60 items (of what I thought was junk) posted over 4 days. I made about £120 which is great but I'm almost at the stage of wearing a disguise to go into the post office...

    That is interesting - thanks for that. Imagine selling everything that isn't nailed down, can just imagine OH's face if he came home from work one day and found the house completely empty.

    We have had this Simon Cowell book hanging around for about 2 years, OH said well over a year ago that he was going to read it, he started it and earlier I saw it on the top shelf in my office, so I listed it on Ebay. I left it on top of the printer ready to take up when I went and put it away. OH used the computer, when he came out of the office and I went in I saw he had the book under his arm so I said 'hey I'm selling that on Ebay', he's taken it to read it so I've told him he better not ruin it or else. Note to self - if listing anything that OH might be interested in, hide it after listing.

    Well done!!!!!

    I have listed 14 new items and relisted 9 that didn't sell! Got a bid on one within 5 mins which deserves a woohoo!

    14 was enough for me tonight!! Cleared out my wardrobe today so have some more things to list in the week...this is never ending!!!

    Oh.My.God.
    I've just sold something that I paid£3.50 and wore a few times, for £22! :jIt was on 99p with no bids until about 5-minutes before. Then I checked my email and couldn't believe my eyes when I saw what it had sold for.

    edit:
    In my shock I forgot to say well done mrscmr for managing to list your 300 items, that is amazing!

    Oh, and I've sold 3 out of 5 items. Still waiting on one more item to finish, but it doesn't have any bidders.
