    As I say I'm actually doing the challenge for 40 days starting today and only £5 a day (I think that is more realistic for me!) so a total of £200.

    Only thing is I don't think I'm going to make £5 today so already behind :rotfl:

    Oh and apparently old mobiles tend to make more money on ebay (even broken) than they do through the recycling companies :)

    Really? I'll need to compare the recycling companies and eBay to see what is doing better...

  • Thanks, had to make up for not making any money yesterday and that's half of tomorrow covered too :rotfl:

    Got my camera and that sorted now so can get a few bits and pieces listed on Gumtree and eBay.

    Really need to look in to the mobile phone thing, got about 5!

    Also got a few items of clothing that didn't sell the last time I put them on eBay so will put them under the free 99p listings and just hope that I make more than that on them as they are all highstreet names. Either that or I pay a little to start them at say £4.99 - anyone got any suggestions?

    Nearly able to redeem my points on My Survey for £10 PayPal so hopefully that will come in to this challenge too!

    Ebay board has some good advice for when to list and how to describe things etc.

    Odd stuff like used clothing sells better listed as used than bought but not worn with tags still on, possibly because of how people search for things :)
