    eBay is okay if you wnat to sell low-value items, but if you want to sell high-value items, such as laptops, then it isn't worth it.

    As a seller of laptops on ebay, I must say you are talking nonsense there. So long as appropriate precautions are taken, there is good money to be made in laptops.

    agree totally with last post have been selling laptops on ebay for over 2 years now they are the most profitable thing ive sold on ebay ever and still going , most of the time making around £200- £300 profit after costs on each one . Of course you have to know where to get them very cheap in the first place...:rolleyes:
    If it doesn't fit, force it; if it breaks, it needed replacement anyway
    Sarcasm helps keep you from telling people what you really think of them

    I did pretty well last year selling 2nd hand car parts. You have to work at it - taking the photos, doing the adverts, monitoring the bids, contacting buyers, packing the parts, being flexible etc, but the money has been worth it overall.
