    Good luck.

    As mentioned £30k in 2 years isn't impossible, but £30k profit in 2 years is a tall order.

    My website made me £14,200 in the last year so 2 years wouldn't be far off £30k but only £11k was profit.

    Good luck with it, hopefully you have alot of spare stuffto sell .

    If you want my advice: don't let anybody talk you out of it.

    Well thanks for all of the support guys, i ransacking my whole house for things to put on over the weekend to help build up some capital.
    I think i might go to a car boot on sunday to see whats available aswell as every little bit will help in the begining.
    I have a feling that it will not be fantastic figures at the very start but with a bit of hard work i am feeling super confident that i can do it.

    Once again a big thank you to all of the above.

    Good luck !!!


    Keep your eye open in Charity shops aswell, there is a guy makes a fortune near me as he raids charity shops and buys items from there for ebay. I've been tempted to buy a sewing machine and try my luck on ebay but it's time & initial outlay that puts me off. Also like he said, you have to be able to afford to make a loss on some items :( no can do. The items I currently buy and sell the profit goes to charity, only keep the profit from household items, old stuff of ours etc for myself.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
