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

I've unearthed some unused Virgin cosmetics that I had in my demo kit during my short-lives career as a consultant, with a retail value of £100/€140. Would it be better to sell them at a flea market, or put them on Ebay (yes, I know I said I wouldn't ...)

I find branded cosmetics sell quite well on ebay. You'll probably not get their true value but have you had a look to see if anything similar is selling on ebay just now? My guess is you'll get more there than at car boot/flea markets.

You will resist the power of eBay......... Knew you'd be sucked in eventually ha ha!!

Handed in my notice at my part-time job today so now I'm self employed fulltime- scary!!! LilacPixie- I do wedding jewellery and supply a few shops like you do, I also have a website that could do with more traffic! Good luck with yours :-)

Hmmm - first lot of items on ebay and I have just had a question from a lady in Italy and asking if I can post there.
First question....how do I get a price to quote for delivery to Italy? and second wuestion, is it really worth my while? It is for 3 pairs of boys aged 2 elasticated trousers which are currently unbid (1 watcher, presumably this Italian lady) only on at 99p.....all opinions welcome! (I have only put my items on cheap as I am using it as a learning curve!!)

Thanks in advance.......

I would quote for signed for to Italy,not a great postal service over there.

Moving onto scratchcards next - anyone got a link to Virgin?

Back to work tomorrow for a rest I think!!

go through quidco, and you will get £5 cashback;) you need to be in credit to play their free scratchcard, so deposit the £5, then do the free scratchcard, and then play your £5, so then you will have the scratchcard cash in your account

ok ... dont all jump on this idea...:rotfl:

but just found this seller,

http://shop.ebay.co.uk/123eurosr/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=25

looks as though they buy old magazines etc, and cuts of the old adverts and sells them,

Now this good thinking outside the box, as most people would look at a tatty old mag in the loft and think no one would buy that, or its olny worth a few pence, BUT by cutting it up carefully you can make more money...

I have also seen this done with old speicalist dog magazines and papers, with the breeds winner articles cut out etc,


Now i am not saying they all sell, and how long it will take to sell them, or how much it will cost... but hopefully this idea might help you think outside the box when you go scouting for stuff to sell

As I discovered by going to the post office to send a couple of items abroad, its actually sometimes cheaper to send to Europe than the UK because of the new large package rates. If you check on the Royal Mail website it'll give you the price.
