    Its great to see lots of big totals coming through now.I like the idea that people are spreading the word about the challenge.Why not advertise your services and tell people you'll list their items on a 50/50 basis ?
    keep your heads held high,as together we'll do it ! shame the weekend is over-back to reality tomorrow- :grouphug::grouphug::grouphug: -here's a big group hug.

    If you click on Quick Links above (one in from the right of the screen in the green bar) and then choose Edit Signature. The just typre what you want and edit when you need. There are a few rules about what you can put in there (no advertising or links etc) and I think a maximum of 5 lines. Have fun ;). Oh and welcome to the thread :).

  • Been a mad weekend, been on emergency call thinking i'd have a job here and there over the weekend, ended up doing nearly 14 hours yesterday and 6 hours today! still another 2 and a half hours to go so im still not off the hook yet!

    I've got 2 items on ebay one has 3 bids up to £36 and 15 watchers, the other has no bids but 6 watchers and both end tomorrow night.. so fingers crossed. Also being on call and all the jobs i've been called out to should mean a hefty bonus in my pay packet the week after next.

    As for the earlier post about what we r using the 10k for, i want to pay off my mortgage asap and i want to get plenty of savings so that in about 10 years i can move down cornwall and give up plumbing to be a postie or work in a little shop by the sea front lol. good luck every one keep it up!

  • Just checking it works lol - Where I live (YORK) there are loads charity shops about 10 on the street I work! I am going to attempt to find out what I should be looking for/what sells best on ebay. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

    HHHmmn what would I spend the £10k on? pay off my loan and treat my little girls to a holiday.........let the game begin

    p.s thanks to bingo for starting this - here's hoping I stay motivated ;-)

    unfortunately, right now that £10k or anything I make is going towards living costs and paying off credit cards. I've just listed a few small items on Ebay and I've sold some and will list some more stuff on the intranet at work...the best things is, no fees :)

    It happens - rubbish though.

    I have just listed a pile of stuff from around the house, fully expect to have some similar problems occasionally.

    Its been a couple or more years since I did much ebay, I probably have forgotten how difficult customers can be, lol.

    Well I've had a bit of trouble with my YahooGroup for helping with the matched betting and have had to make the decision to move to Google for that service.

    Its a bit of a buzzkill, but not going to let that stop me.

    I have emailed everyone who has shown an interest in Match Betting, but there is always room for more, so if you are interested in using Matched Betting to help you get to your £10K please do not hesitate to PM me.

    I've had some great feedback and theres some excellent Matchers starting up already.

    Cheers
