    hi going by what i made on my kids clothes i would be more tempted to try on ebay as everybody wants something for nothing at boot sales.

    made £10 on my wee cleaning job tonight, thank goodness for free listing day on sunday - even although everybody will be listing remember there are two sides to every coin so it may be the week for us to buy?? just a thought.

    giving up on BB as just disappoints me

    edit : another £4 in the pot

    Need a real kick up the back side. So after two weeks of waiting for stock to arrive I now have it! I'm being so lazy though... two days on I still haven't listed it.

    Still expect it to sell through osmosis or something!

  • Just my update...

    I have 43 things listed on ebay with 5 or more days to go, with £10 of bids so far. About to list another 7 things now.

    I have 7 sock animals listed on etsy and have just finished another one which I will be listing in a second.

    I am going to add my totals up and post them at the end of the month after I have paid all my fees.

    I am loving dooyoo and have already written 13 reviews and have about £8.50 wort of points :T

    And I have about £80 due from quidco at the end of this month too :beer:

    Well I'm quite chuffed today. My lego bought from a charity shop last week for £10 has sold (with one lot still to run) for £43! I reckon I'll get at least £7 for the last item, so that will be £40 profit in a week for just a bit of sorting and packing. Nice. Only problem is, none of the buyers have paid yet!! Hope it wasn't bought by a 5 year old playing on mummy's account! :lol:

    A couple of my other items that didn't sell first time round I relisted quickly and they now have bids.

    Have 3 of my more expensive items coming to an end soon - all watchers so far though and no bids.

    Will put my old mobile up on Sunday (decided against the recycling company in the end and bought a charger for it).

    Do any of you, when packing up an item you've sold, have a panic that the buyer will hate it? Or is that just me?! When something sells for over a tenner I panic that they'll be sorely disappointed when they actually get it!
