From Trash to Cash: the Dribbling never ends

AHHHHH

God I hate how disorganised I have become over the past 18 months with my finances

Just had a bill land on the doorstep for the 6 monthly water rates stating we owe them £163.19 - and I dont know where I am going to find the money :evil:

I dont want to pay DD as over the past year it bouced 3 times, costing me an extra £25 iirc a pop, yet I cant afford the lump sum of £163

Dont Worry - I will get it sorted im just frustrated that as soon as I start getting on the straight and narrow I seam to fall off at the first little hurdle before I can even get even a small emergency fund.

Ive also been banned from one car forum for being a trader - despite the fact I am not a trader and just have that much stuff lieing around it is all under my feet and I want to get sold - and it goes for next to sod all on ebay compared to its value

!!!!!!s eh! What car stuff is it?? I know when we had VW's that the bring and buys were fab.... maybe theres something similar?

It is parts for late 80 and early 90's fords

Probably got around £1500 in bits lieing around If i could get them sold - Its just frustrating the living daylights out of me that I know I need to sell the stuff, am willing to spend the time to sell the stuff just dont have the time to do it

Then on ebay I get timewasting non-paying bidders constantly - which is seriously getting on my nerves. Add this to the fact I think my car is packing up and I will need another - and so will break this one means I have £2500 in bits to get shot off and the only way to shift it is ebay where I will get £1800 tops

any collectors magazines?? worth looking for to advertise in there...

I have parts I can get rid of left right and center to the kit car boys - I can not get enough of them and they are always the first bits to go.

However then comes the rest of it, some of it goes but is advertised for a top spec model (which it is the same part) and shifts reasonably. These parts are the reason I built the ebay seller tool to see what hte market was like.

If I didnt need the money now, and could store the parts for another 10 years they would be worth a damn site more than they are now

The only specialist magazine is the one from the site I have been banned - elsewhere a lot of the parts I have is next to worthless
