Ebay Help

Hey all,

I was wondering someone can help me out or give me a little advice
Ive gotta move out of my house in the next 3 weeks as my parents are moving out and im not going with them. So im trying to clear out as much stuff as possible. What i thought id try and do is sell some stuff, but wondering if its worth puting it on ebay or worst if there is somewhere else i can put it, or failing that maybe just dump alot of stuff.

I wondered how things like videos, cds and old computer games sold on there and if was worth trying to sell them, just ive got alot that i just dont want anymore

    You could put it on eBay, but be aware of the fees involved.

    Also consider placing ads in the paper or even maybe a car boot sale.

    With only 3 weeks i think you are cutting it to fine for online sales. Like Jammin says try small ads or even a car boot sale if you have one nearby.

    hi jammin and soolin,

    thank you for getting back to me. i was going to just try and sell on ebay, but was worried the things i want to put on there might not sell so it might be a waste of money, but i thought id just ask just incase someone seems to sell them and do ok with selling them. Might look into down the cat boot sale as well although not sure how local 1 is to me

    I fear you might be wasting your time if it's videos and CD's to be honest.

    Definitely try a boot sale, do one with a friend you might have fun :p

    Try one big job-lot, but do yourself a favour and dump the videos, few, if any people have video players these days.
