    Oh, this challenge is exciting! Just withdrawn £75 from bb, won in the past 10 days, so I now have £132.75 towards my £1k :T...IF I reach it before end of Dec I'll just keep going :D

    Surveys seem to be coming in thick and fast atm, no doubt will slow down shortly but while they're in my in box I'll keep doing them...bring 'em on!

    Hello from member 179! (i think!)

    When i look at what i have done in 13 days £25/£10,000, its really disheartening! i mean what have i been doing for 13 days, i have made one purchase for £65 and sold for £90.

    I have been doing DooYoo but that money is to be money neutral for xmas :D

    The day just seems to go by so fast, and i feel like ive got nothing done - doesnt help with a 1 year old to entertain!

    I get up at 8am, and go to bed around 11, so where has my day gone! i am so envious of people reaching £100s already!

    Really love the tread though :j

    You are in profit which is the main thing :). I sometimes wonder how I managed to achieve so little in a day and I don't have toddler entertaining duties to attend to. You are doing brilliantly so keep up the good work ... now get off your backside and get listing things on ebay ;).

    hi all, just read through the posts for the last 24 hours, everybody either doing well or at a bit of 6's & 7's, remember we still have another 352 days to go so dont worry if you've only made a little - Rome wasnt built in a day and the thought is there which is the first step.
    made £8 on ebay today on a couple of BiN (was surprised as i'd given up on them) and have another sale due tomorrow - not through ebay though for another £4. only 11 things left on ebay and wont have time to list tonight or tomorrow but will get stuck in at the weekend, have updated my signature and am really "chuffed"

    keep up the good work, take care, catch up soon

    Does anyone have any experience of having an Amazon Pro account, I know that it costs £28.75 a month and that I will need to sell over 34 items to make it worth my while but are there any other pro or cons that I need to know?

    I am looking at buying books in bulk and then putting on Amazon but the margins are quite small (I made a bit of a spreadsheet that works out with and without a pro account for a batch of around 50 books that I have seen for sale and the difference at the lowest price point (if they sold!) means that I would make around £10 more on the pro account)
