    Another £1 from R Points and 35p profit from selling some vouchers on ebay.

    Brings me up to £15.15 and I have 64 items on ebay which are making £8.50+ at the moment.

    I am due a £15 cashbag cheque and a £3 acop cheque in the next few days too so that should boost the total.

    I also have purchased 3 mixed lots from ebay to relist individually. I hhope they arrive by tomorrow for the cheap listing day.

    I have seen in my free ads in the local paper there are people selling off their car boot stock and bundles of clothes for really cheap. I have left a couple of messages this morning. One was a bin liner full of Childrens clothes for £3. Should resell well on ebay if I get it.

    I think I'll send the link to The Sun newsdesk....that should get some bids coming in!
  • Am waiting for my M and M freebies too Tinkerbell (got lots sent to my work, mum's house etc!) and they will be going straight onto ebay! How about stating that you will donate a certain percentage of the sale from your stupid £1 item on ebay to charity as an encouragement? I am giving 20% to Children in Need and my buy it now teabags are going well!
  • which stupid £1 item ? all my items are stupid.

    I am not doing too well this week, I need to make £2 but havent made a penny. I have a scarey pig magnet for sale on ebay lol. I have also been around the charity shops but don't really know what I'm looking for. I might have another look today as its 10p listing day tommorow.

    Right, I reckon that it would be ok to sell something as long as it didn't cost you anything in the first place.

    This could be an unwanted present, a freebie, a prize etc. As long as it didn't actually cost you any money then it will be fine.

    I'm not sure if changing money from your spare change pot would be from nothing as you put the money in there. Now if it were change that you found on the street or something then that would be money from nothing.

    Good luck everyone :D

    Haven't finished reading the thread yet but the idea is fun ... wish I had the time and bottle to have a go ... maybe next time but anyway what I wanted to say .......

    Could a Tesco R+R count as a starter? i.e. it costs you money to buy it to get it refunded but in the end it was FREE. Thats a tricky one eh?

    sorry tinkerbell! i didn't mean your items were stupid!! it was a suggestion for anyone putting a paperclip or a teabag or whatever silly things on ebay with a donation! i am sure your items are lovely x
