Turn £100.00 into £10.000.00+ by the end of 2010 official thread PART 2

macgirl

Almost made my first £100 from selling odds and sods on Ebay and Amazon :j
Just listed another 12 things on Ebay before free listing ends, so hoping to reach my target of £156 before the end of the month. Then I can spend £100 of my money to hopefully double my money for the end of Feb.

Some great tips on this brilliant and buzzing thread - Love it! :T:T:T

Well I've just worked out what I've made so far - £115 and that includes £45 taken off from money I've spent but not yet sold on. Quite chuffed with that, but I've realised that the P&P is absolutely killing me! Most of the things I've sold are quite large and heavy, will have to look into an alternative to Royal Mail and will certainly have to look into an alternative to huge jiffy bags! Where can I get cheap bubble wrap and brown parcel paper?!!

Have a £25 bid on an item that finishes tomorrow (one of my own - most of my profit has been made from selling my own stuff!) and 8 watchers so hopefully there'll be a bidding war! Lol.

I need to stock up on this too. A number of people mentioned 99p stores and pound shops (including for jiffy bags ) for brown paper ... also someone mentioned Wilkinson? Naturally there are also a huge number of suppliers on ebay (100m roles of bubble wrap and brown paper etc.). Depends how much you plan to use .

Weekly Update - Next update Monday 25th January. I'll keep a note of anybody who wants to join in the interim period, and add them to the list next week.

Thanks.

Ohhh it is chilly here this morning, I just want to stay tucked up in bed nice and warm but I am going to be productive!

Ive already decluttered everywhere in my bedroom apart from under the bed, I think there will be some juicy sale items under there, then I will hit the understairs cupboard. My spare room is starting to get piled high with stuff to sell, not high value stuff but it is better than nothing and means less [STRIKE]junk[/STRIKE] high quality collectables to pack up when we move.

Going through my drawers we have loads of shampoo, deodorant, body scrubs etc, more than I will be able to use in months and months. I got given a pile of Lush and Soap and Glory things for Christmas and I am going to sell these, they seem to go very well on Ebay and I have more than I can use. I'd rather have the cash for my trip.

I've also got a Polish copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows which I got for 75p in the Borders sale, I've had a look on Amazon and they sell for £15 so that is definitely going on there.

Todays plan:
Declutter under the bed and under the stairs.
5 more items on ebay.
10 items on Amazon/Greenmet.
Finish setting up clicks list and get clicking.
Post 1 DooYoo review and read and rate others.
Read the matched betting guide and try and get my head around it.

If I have time I will also start sketching out some Jewellery plans for Folksy/Etsy using beads I have in stock.

Lets get the week off to a great start!

Wilkies have a special on packaging at the moment. Bubblewrap, browm paper, tape and twine @ 2 for £1.20

Morning all

Had quite a good day on Ebay yesterday.Managed to get 15 thing listed - just stuff from around the house and sold about £20 on items that were finishing yesterday, so my total is creeping up gradually. Already got a £1.49 bid on something that has got 6 more days to run.

My plan is to do some match betting today as Ladbrokes have sent me and my partner a £25 free bet each to use on the new look website.

I must get my CDs packaged up for Music Magpie too and I've got a load of baby clothes to list on Ebay that I didn't get a chance to do yesterday, although will start them all at 99p so will be free listing anyway.
