AMAZONian Efforts!

Hi, on Sunday I wrote that I had brought down 3 boxes of books to go onto Amazon for flogging.

Looking at my account, last time I sold anything was July 08 - was it really that long ago?

Anyway the thread is this - `HOW MUCH MONEY HAVE YOU ALL MADE OFF THE INTERNET, BY SELLING THE SMALL STUFF?`
Not on about bingo, comps or selling the car! Just mean the CD`s books, clothes, the stuff that just lying about & cluttering up the place.


Here goes - upto & inc July 08 £146.68, books & console games.

Any more?

    Nothing yet... but only slowly, slowly adding things, so it's hardly surprising! I live in hope :D.

    Not much. Nobody seems to want my good quality books. Tend to find I do better at selling them at car boots tbh. Very slow on Amazon.

    £458.25 so far this year. And it really was all tat, not even the good stuff... most things sell for less than £2 but it all adds up.

    How are you pricing them? I always try and price the lowest on there, no point otherwise. You see people with some ridiculous prices.

    To be fair, I do have a lot of tat, but it really is just stuff I would've otherwise chucked out.
    Silly things like manuals for mobile phones that I'd hung onto, old curtain hooks, nick nacks, as well as clothes and books.

    Takes a bit of effort listing, packing it all up and then carting the stuff to the post office, but it's worth it when you see the money hit your bank account.
