    what are peoples opinions on the digital picture that I have listed?

    the MFN code is in the auction description

    I think the coffee table pics are good... the lighting is nice and the table looks really stylish! :T :D

    I like that secret code idea!! I'll be sure to put it really small and in white though cos I wouldn't want buyers to be put off cos they didn't understand it! I won't be listing for a while though cos I'm going away from wednesday to sunday but I'll do some bumper listing when I'm back!! :D

    I'm really pleased with how my matched betting is going... only slowly at the moment until my total goes up a bit so I can do the bigger ones... but its free money and I'm not impatient!

    Off to update my total after some matched betting and ebay listings ended today.... just in time for FF's weekly update I hope! :)

    Take care everyone x

  • Thank you rachelja

    I wouldn't be where i am without having had some lucky finds in the charity shops, have never seen the coffee table in any charity shop before and probably never will again

    my only worry about the picture is that it doesn't show up the minor marks mentioned in the auction, so hopefully the buyer isn't too disappointed when they see it in real life

    Yeah, that's true. I sometimes put in a line about having more detailed images available (of any marks or things of mention) and that if buyers contact me through ebay I will email the images to them. Saves fees for adding loads of pics but then buyers can't argue that you weren't open about the flaws!

    I have spent two day listing for ebay (hubby and kids are away at his mum's for the weekend) and I now have 95 items listed which are due to finish next Sunday between 7 and 9pm. House looks a bit like a jumble sale! but I am impressed with using auctiva's website to get them together at the right time. Now they just need to sell.........

    Mint CC @ 18.9% £3030.29/£3100 Virgin CC @ 34.9% £651.46/£2700 Tesco CC @ 0% 1366/1500

    Sold a Moschino suit just now for £11.50 should cost me £2 in P&P and fees so £9.50 going on my tally.
    Was geared up to do car boot today but it was forecast wet so didn't bother hopefully next weekend will be good.
    I have 4 lots of olay listed on ebay which i got for nothing using vouchers yesterday I will try and amend title and add code so you can see them
  • This might be a useful forum when looking at boot sales and the like for potential ebay bargains

    Thanks

    I have added a comment about further pictures being provided on request

    Also i hope whoever wins in is intelligent enough to know whether the back of their car will be big enough (although some ebay bidders do seem to be a bit lacking in the old intelligence department as can be seen from the ebay board)
