    I agree. I did the same today. Figured there was no point in keeping them and £3.20 is £3.20!

    '...tomorrow is always another day full of new opportunites (and a bottle of chilled white in the fridge as it is the weekend)'

    I agree with this bit :beer:
    Just £10,852.28p to go...

    :D

    Trust that little voice in your head that says "Wouldn't it be interesting if...";
    And then do it.

    evening all, wish i had something positive to report, but things seem to have stopped still. Have used the whole of my £100 now on items etc, so need to sell items before i can re-invest, no sales on ebay, greenmetropolis or gumtree :(. I did have a sale at the very start of the challenge, after fees i had 18.34 (and keeping this in paypal ready to pay fees at end of month just in case i have no furher sales) so still in the red. Have dried up about what to review in dooyoo, i must have things here, waiting for inspiration to hit and i will get typing. i joined onepoll for surveys but no confirmation mail as promised, so no further with trying to build up money there either.

    On a brighter note, i have a few cd's that were not saved on ISBN to list on ebay, so figure i might just register with music magpie and get a little of them for them, so will be a start towards my goal.

    a little disheartened right now, but tomorrow is always another day full of new opportunites (and a bottle of chilled white in the fridge as it is the weekend)

    hope your ventures are proving productive and fruitful xx

    ftm2010 - that is the idea but we also doing it legally

    Damn and i've just brought all them cannabis plants...

    hey everyone its took me about an hour and a half to get to the end of the thread from where i left it last night, but its worth it lol

    I've had a decent day, my two ebay items have quite a few watchers and one has a bid in (£25) so hopefully they will be gone by sunday. Also had a phone call from my boss asking me if i would go on stand by at the weekend to cover a holiday, which I said yes to & apparently its £120 just for being on standby for the weekend then its 20 odd quid an hour every hour im out the house! hoping im called out for the full 48 hours at them rates!

    Also spoke to my sister who has a few plumbin bits and bobs left from when her heating was done that are lying about so i'm stickin them on ebay for 50/50 split over the weekend.

    Thanks everybody! really enjoying this challenge and i've only been officially 'in' less than 24 hours!

    Fantastic ... but if anyone can actually find a book they will buy, let me know :D. Gave up after 40 attempts and a fair few "popular authors" to see what they would pay for something (anything?) ... maybe I hit them at a bad moment so will check back with them in a month or so ... ;)

    Oh I tried everything, including plenty of books I don't own and books they had in stock (so thought they might buy) ... no joy :). Maybe they have been inundated by people decluttering ... :eek:.

    I'm quite good with crafts, but unsure as to what to make that would be good enough to sell.

    Have thought about T-Shirts

    Thanks

    have a look round etsy, folksy etc to see what is selling and what you think you might be able to turn your hand to.

    Hi all, haven't posted in a while. Still selling my own stuff on ebay. I have invested in stock but won't be selling until october. So i'm in the red but hopefully my ebay sales will soon cover my investment and i'll be in profit and all of my stock sales in october will be profit.

    Can anyone tell me how much baby clothes and outfits sell for in car boots. can it be lucrative if you had good stock.
