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

heggied

Finally got my backside in gear and started things rolling.

Thanks to someone *way* back on the thread (sorry, can't remember who it was) for mentioning musicmagpie. I'd never heard of them, and I've just made (well, been promised) £52.44 from them for 50 old CDs, which is nice. I've also got 6 other more collectable ones on ebay now, and all have watchers. Which is nice too.

One thing though, I've gone and made the auctions end next Sunday. I wasn't thinking properly when I listed them, and I'm going to be away when they finish, and out of contact until the day after. Do you reckon this will be a problem?

No, just add a note to the listing that you will be away for a couple of days when they end.

18 times ?!! That is totally ridiculous, I'd be thinking about a neg for that with the comment "seller sent 18 emails in 12 hours requesting payment" or something along those lines

Good Morning all fellow challengers,
Put few bits on fleabay & have only just sold grrrrrr:mad:
Tried BB WON £15 :j:j but of course couldn't withdraw that amount & wouldn't let me deposit gr :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: played it all back & won another £15 but it was a bit like groundhog day 'still didn't have enough to withdraw :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
Please someone else come along & confirm this has happened to them :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
January is 1 of those months we should all hibernate.

The same thing happened to me a couple of times... then I had a brain wave... I went to the roulette table and turned my £15 into £34.50... I wish I had thought of that sooner!

Obviously it won't work everytime, but at least this way you have a chance of being able to withdraw your einnings!!

9 items listed on eBay last night. One item has a watcher and I need to answer a question for the watcher.

Mind you I am now watching an item on eBay (bidded too) on a handbag that if I win will be put away as my mothers day present!(in my defense the baby can't buy anything yet hehe)

I guess I really should try selling my artwork as that's my strong point, but maybe I need to buy some nice clothes to wear for visiting gallery owners. I tried a couple local galleries but my subject matter isn't "the type of thing that sells well with our customers" their customers want flowers and landscapes, Yawn!! Trouble is that although I know my stuff is really good (even the gallery owners admitted that much), I don't know how to promote myself, I really lack the confidence to push myself forward especially face to face, I get so anxious. Anyone fancy being my agent?...my website link is in my profile

Your work is amazing. It's strange that the galleries you contacted have a limited range, I guess they've made themself comfortable within a certain market and don't want to experiment which is unfortunate. I've seen pretty unusual or inventive works near me in galleries for sale, mostly in the busy city than locally though. Maybe thats a sign of the thoroughfare they get within a large city, with more variety of people coming in from all sorts of places in or out of town and more impulse buyers or business people with bigger budget to experiment with. I would Google around your local area and nearest bigger cities and see what type of work they have on display. If you see they take in a bigger variety get in touch.
