My OH was right, these challenges have an adverse effect on me. I've just bought 100 pairs of googly eyes! Why??!!!

Well here's an idea;

'Make your own Ooglies!'
Stick these googly eyes on household objects; a banana, a toothbrush; and make them have their own crazy adventures!
(I'm just going by the way my kids, having watched Ooglies on CBBC, now think googly eyes are for making Ooglies)
Any good? :rotfl:

Here are my sales this afternoon;
£15 BIN item sold on Ebay (bought for £4.75)
99p item " " " (was a gift)
99p bid so far on Ebay (gift again)

Baby steps

Also a big thank you to the people who mentioned fatfingers and goofbay; have just sniped a great bargain, will be relisting with the correct spelling as soon as it arrives :T might get round to updating my signature at some point too.

nope, UK. but for 20p worth a go. am bidding on one or two items, the bidding are at pence, and yes items from china etc, but on that note, i bought a lovely long cocktail dress last year, from china, it arrived, and is gorgeous, so a few pence in baby steps is worth the risk, but not going to go mad with it until i see results, thanks for the advice , and just found a pile of ties that ex left behind when he left, figured 99p each free lsiting on ebay? shouldn't cost much to post?

Lol i don't have an explanation! I was just drawn to them :S Maybe they'll be able to spot some bargains for me. I have no chance! This kind of happened in the last challenge i did - i ended up with 100 ceramic hearts, which are now in the loft. I need sorting out! x

hehe you've given me a giggle!! (or is that a googly eye )

although with regards to the hearts - Valentines Day is coming soon! Do some research on ebay and see if there are any hearts up, if not why dont you experiment and put them up in lots of 5, 10, or 15 etc etc.

There must be someone who will buy them!!


EDIT: arrgh i really should finish catching up with whole thread before I post replies!! Sorry that everything in my post has already been said!
(going back to finish reading!!)

I'll take credit for Goofbay, wouldnt mind a cut of what you make through it either :rotfl:

Well done though, glad it worked for you! :T

I seem to have trouble sifting through the rubbish for something genuine on ebay...any tips anyone?!

Persistence ... it can sometimes be a quagmire ... depends what area of product you are looking in. Also, not done this for a while, so not sure of latest ways of going about it (on my list of to dos) is to develop and save advanced searches that suit your targeted aims. Over time you will be able to fine tune them to start weeding out what you don't want ... health warning though, you may also miss the odd blinding opportunity that your searches and filters have sliced out. All a numbers game really ... if you get what you are looking for most of the time it makes up for the odd missed opportunity

What are you knowledgeable about? I'm looking at toys and baby stuff atm, as I have a load of experience of these lol! Thanks then, sure it will come in very handy :j

Oh forgive me! I know this has been covered but I can't find it now cos I'm all of a tizz ...I've just won £80 on BB (:T:j:T:j:T) tried to withdraw but it says if I make a withdrawal the £5 bonus fund will be removed from my a/c. So do I have to wait til the 30 days is up before I withdraw? I have another 23 days to go..

Thank you and sorry for asking what I should already know the answer to :rolleyes:

carcon - dabble in whatever you have or dont have to pay for to begin with, you would be surprised! i've sold everything just about, right down to a terry's choc orange a while ago to somebody abroad, even pot noodles and angel delight are selling! so just list what you have for the sake of a 10p listing - you'll find your niche, if your title is right and have a good description you'll not go far wrong - just make sure your spelling is correct!

Well,nothing selling on play.com or amazon or ebay. Surprising really. I did make £28 gambling on the greyhounds and £70 for Sinitta getting booted off Dancing On Ice so I had a good day. But I would rather be selling junk on ebay !
