From Trash to Cash: the £100 to 10K Dribble thread

My adidas top and leggings went for £9.72, not bad, I didn't think it would make anything!

It deserves to - genius! Your work is gorgeous and fantastic...I agree with the others you should put your prices up but only after we have all brought some!! :rotfl:

Here's an update for everyone helping me on my Valentine's Day missing ebay item - the guy said it definitely still hadn't arrived yesterday so I agreed to give him a full refund and swallow the costs as I guaranteed it would arrive in time for V Day and he had to buy a new gift on Saturday afternoon. I've just got home and checked with the PO website and it says it was delivered on Wednesday. The guy's now saying it didn't arrive so I now have his word against the PO's.

I'll obviously call the PO tomorrow to check and see who signed for it but not really sure what to say to him tonight.

New advice needed oh wise ones please

I would tell him what you have just told us. That you have checked and the item was delivered Wednesday and before you will refund you would like to check the signature details tomorrow so you can find out where it went wrong. No accusations just factual.

SS - I agree lined and unlined seperately. I think it's a good idea to do a few unlined, becuase a lot of arty types like to have pretty notebooks to sketch and write in, and lines make that difficult. And in my experience, it's much harder to find unlined.

Nat, I find that branded sportswear does quite well if it's used. I wouldn't buy new to resell but if you have it it's a nice little £9.72 in your pocket :T

Thanks That reminds me. Have you got an email address I can email photos too, and you can tell me how much they'd cost? I don't mind you using him to show your work, either. He'd like to be celebrity :rotfl:

can you guess where this is going.....

we have agreed to rehome two double rex hairless rats!! They are soooo cute! all curly whiskers too....

So no money making for me today, just money spending! LOL!

Had a great day today - cleaned my house from top to bottom, got all my ebay stuff ready on turbolister, (then made myself a new template for listing stuff, and relisted everything I'd already done with the new template), sorted through my loft and found a few bits and bobs, took photos of a load more stuff to load onto turbo tomorrow.

Also, cleaned the tortoise table out ready for them waking up in the next couple of weeks, researched some more £10k business ideas and confirmed one that I think may work for me, opened a new bank account online (wow, it was so easy - wish I'd done it before instead of procrastinating), completely ignored my car which is crying out for a good wash, and just had the most delicious tea - lamb steaks with all the veg, YUM!!

Shame I have to go back to work tomorrow - I get so little done when I have been working all day, and the week just flies by before I know it!

SS, I'm dying of anticipation, I can see all my earnings being sent your way for pretty notebooks that I don't want to use and can't bear to give away! Maybe I should have opened the bank account in your name :rotfl:

Yay shiny new thread and Happy Valentines day all!
Em - sounds like a great idea (the advice blog)I know deq123 has offered too, but if you need any web building advice let me know happy to add my 2 pence. Also, that link for the website is great.
2cats1kid - I love your stuff it is great!
Susie - hope your ebay gets sorted I am having a similar problem. I refunded an item but the guy has not sent it back

In other news... my website is finally finished. If you want to have a nose it is linked to my profile. But, be warned you will need flash player to view the main portfolio.
