    Dreaded underbed lol.

    I always think there is nothing left to eBay, but then I always find something else. Going to do clothes today I think, I've got loads of them that I never wear!

    Hey yes I'll send you both links to dooyoo and ciao :) And if you need any hints or tips then just ask- i've been a member for over a year.

    I've sold 4 items on amazon now! Just got back from teh post office to find the 4th had sold so now I'm going to package it up and take another trip there...!

    I tackled our under bed space a few weeks ago and it was horrific! The next one is a huge cupboard in the bedroom that i tend to just shove things in... basically the same as under the bed! I'm aiming to do that this weekend!

    Well done on your sales so far! It's really pathetic but every time i see something else has gone on amazon i get all excited! haha!

    Thanks Fozzeh,
    All signed up for both. Will investigate further later.
    Housemate wanted to know what I was doing and has now volunteered me to put all her stuff for sale too as there's too much to move so now have a pile of dvds and books on which I have to pay all fees but get to keep 50%.
    No more sales yet though, it is exciting when one comes through.

    I would put them on amazon... only because I think that more people go to amazon for that sort of thing and all postage is all the same so you're not competing for people who give ridiculously cheap postage etc. Also the fees only happen on amazon once you've sold an item unlike with ebay. Once you list an item is stays there for 60 days too so it's easier than ebay in that respect. It's also much faster to list items as they're already on there you just click what quality yours is and how much! I listed all 59 of my items within an hour!

    All you need to do with the links is just write a review then I get some bonus points. Once you have joined let me know what your user names are so I can look out for you! So long as your reviews are well written- fair and justified and usually over 350 words you should get on fine on them sites.

    I keep checking amazon every two minutes to see if anything else has sold! I need to get a life! ha

    Dreaded underbed region is yielding good things!
    Found 4 old mobiles and checked on Martins mobile checker, £22! And they're all about 5 or 6 years old. Forgot I had them lol :)
