  • Saucy, if it's ebay can you file a NPS or whatever - I know it must be frustrating that someone's messing you about, but can you get the supplies from somewhere else? Anyway, you're an official Dribbler so dribble all you want. Talking of which, Mistress Amber the Psychic Dominatrix detects the real reason you don't want to visit the in-laws - Cesc is coming round for some post-match debriefing ... :rotfl:

    That cheered me up :rotfl: Thank you, lol. Didn't get to watch him tonight, it wasn't televised :mad: I'll go dribble at the Arsenal site...


    It's a craft company that's pretty well known, but has done this to a few people lately. I think I will cancel and reorder if they can't redirect it in the morning.

  • I dont think so, although you would need to check insurance. The SU should hold some that covers you, but the last thing you want is for a drunk student to trip over your stall and sue !

    How will you get things to the hall if you dont drive?

    Also, may be obvious, but I would try to get your friends things on a sell or return basis. Dont buy all their items and then find you cant shift them.

    Try tattoo parlours too for accessories - some will let you sell items on the counter for a small percentage !

    That's a fair point, I guess if I just got a stall for the first couple of weeks of term I could get some friends to help me take stuff over. I am good friends with a head of one of the societies there so I am sure I could borrow their store room for a few days here and there. I will have to look into this though.

    whitewillow - have you honestly sold everything you can, or can you go back through it for a second more thorough look?

    Can you mention it to family and see if they have freebies you can sell?

    Do you know people who have things to sell and they dont know how to or dont get round to it, and you could sell it for them and take a percentage?

    Do you keep checking freecycle?

    Check out grabbits for bargains. Look at no spend board and low spend board to see if you can get books or things that may sell.

    What sold well on ebay from your personal stuff? Can you pinpoint a good seller and then expand on that theme?

    Or what did you enjoy listing and selling?

    What did you get most watchers or bidders for?

    What are your interests or hobbies?

    Blimey, sorry for the questions !

  • Now that I am happily thinking about Fabregas, I have joined Helium, and will start doing Dooyoo again (had last night off to celebrate hitting £50, will try and do one tonight and start again properly tomorrow) and I've done £60 worth of writing for the online blog thing. So I guess today wasn't too unproductive!

    Whitewillow, I am having a think. MMTWGR's questions are a good start, though!

  • can you post me a trout please ????

    What about fly fishing things? I know the market is a little saturated but thats because people buy them ! Repeat customers, small items to post, not a lot of storage needed, you know the products .....

    actually i was considering tying my own flies, but its costly to start up, with small returns, but its something that me and hubby would enjoy doing even if it didnt make us rich! Be nice to spend some time together without the kids, as we dont get much chance!
    Also we could do some custom made airsoft/paintball masks, thats a good return but again expensive layout!

    For all that fantastic information I will send you two trout! Youre a gem :)

  • oooh, love the paintball idea . My cousin runs a paintball site ( I think ?!? Must ring family more...)

    They spend sooo much on kit its unreal. I think the masks are a fab idea. If you sell on ebay, you could get the cash first, and say 20 days to receive item. You could then use cash to buy materials...

    Or doesnt it work like that?

    I am desperately trying to make out I know what airsoft is, or even paintballing, but I am soooo uncool.

  • C'mon whitewillow,think of the loans. Repeat after me:

    we will exterminate

    Talk to the kids too - they will have great ideas about what they would like to buy at car boots, or markets.
