    DH gave me £200 yesterday so Childminder very happy as have paid her in advance. Was actually worrying how I was going to pay her until next payday.

    Have sold some stuff on ebay, not the expensive ones I wanted to sell :( but still, a little bi t of decluttering has gone on, need to work out fees, etc to see how much profit I made.

    Oh and found a penny in tescos!

    Would you mind telling us what kind of random things? Have heard someone say this before, that people will buy the strangest things on ebay, so worth digging out and listing.
    Or would you PM if you prefer?
    Thanks

    The bits that I've found made the most money were things that weren't in great condition, there'd even been others in better condition that ended without selling at all, for less than were paid for mine?! No rhyme or reason at all :o

    A few of the bits that have sold recently are: badges, freebies from magazines sold in bundles, and trinkety things from my childhood (I think people get sentimental and get bid happy)

    Some went for a lot more than expected, others I thought would sell didn't so got relisted and other bits sold at starting price. I'm trying to get at least 5 items on each day at the moment so it's really the volume of stuff that's bumping up my total rather than high value items. For the stuff I've got no idea of the value/biddability I just list at 99p - if it doesn't sell I've not lost anything, if it sells at the start price it's 50p more for me and better than just chucking it out :)

    Thankyou debtbegone. Will have a read later tonight. :)


    Oh just realised TARGET Smashed on 11th day! :j I will keep on though with challenge until end of month to see how much more I can make on my own. Have a MS booked for Friday but think that won't pay out until next month now.

    I am not doing very well although I have completed several pkone surveys lately so that's more LVs.

    Found 5p in the gravel at my networking meeting this morning as we went to sit outside for the after meeting briefing.

    Well done aureol, I forgot to put in that a good title with the right keywords, and a nice clean, easy to read description works wonders :)

    We're only a third of a way through the month Horace, plenty of time left!
