    Morning all,

    Right commitments for the month:

    Order first lot of stock
    Sort through ALL 72 boxes of books
    Put ALL books up for sale
    Setup website
    Get card processing account (not Paypal)

    Can I join?
    been lurking on this thread (and the old ones) for ages, just haven't officially started the challenge/posting about it here.

    I've joined& posted on the facebook group and just found and sent a request to the "dribbling to 10k' one.

    I'm starting from 0 (well about £4 so far) rather than £100.

    I'll you know when they have been - as a new tutor I am finding it quite hard to keep up with things but it's all part of the learning curve!

    Here is a list of some of the things that I have sold so you can see if you have any....

    Craft mags sold worldwide £2 I had collected 100 of these! = £200
    Cardmaking items - unused £100
    Unused & hardly used perfume, unused make up etc £100
    and so on.....

    Help this helps xxx

    Where did you sell these (if you don't mind me asking)? it's just that I've got some craft/card making bits - mostly stickers, transfers, card pictures/sentiments and some papers (from part used kits/multipacks or that came with magazines) that I'm not going to use and was thinking of putting them together with factsheets/articles (used to collect a papercraft partwork) in themed packs - ie. birthday, mother etc... and listing them in the supplies section on etsy or similar sites.

    (blimey that's a long sentence /fail)

    yeah - I've got some good ideas from here already, this really is inspirational.:beer:

    Just need to stop compulsively reading all the latest posts (this moves pretty quickly, doesn't it :D ) instead of listing things.

    Welcome Jenna!

    I have never made any formal commitments, perhaps I should. A few last minute bids on Ebay helped my total a bit, I need to add up how much I've made so far - not nearly as much as some of you! I'm happy that I'm clearing the clutter out and making a little bit of money from it, our house is so full of stuff that I could probably keep selling for a couple more months before I reach the end, sadly it's mostly low value items. This week I want to list at least five items a day.

    Good luck Munchki, knock 'em dead!

    Morning all. Where is the time flying? 1st March already!

    Good luck today Munchki.

    I have to be productive today but after a weekend of working I am shattered and the house is a tip. Have some ideas, and bits to put on Ebay so have to try and be disciplined so I don't waste time (she says sorting her farm on facebook)
