    well done on your money for nothing challenge, how did you start?
    whichever way you want to start

    vouchers sold on ebay,

    some people use matched gambling,

    gambling loopholes,

    selling old unwanted presents

    and charity shop/ car boot bargains

  • I've just updated my signature. I have had a steady week. I'm not doing as well as most of you, but I am still on target. I found 15p in the filter of my tumble dryer today. :D
    Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times and I'll smash your face in. :D
  • also does it have to be just 1 item to start? or can it be more? I have 3 items on ebay that I didnt actually pay for (body shop stuff was free as I had a body shop at home party and my guests spend loads so I got £16 worth of free stuff, and I got a free vest top from a Levis event a while back)

    the theory is so long as its free its ok

    so as long as everything is listed is free then it shouldn't matter whether its one item or three

    Welcome to all new comers!! Don't worry about joining late. I've found this challenge has motivated me to get my brain in to gear and do things like matched betting and ebay selling that I'd been meaning to do for ages and never got round to.

    Good Luck!!

    Spent the whole day giving away flyers - I know it is quite dumb and a total waste of time, but... I got £68 for it.

    That is a long needed boost!

    Tomorrow, I am going to a car boot sale in Bromley to see if there are any real bargains around. No more A-Has, Gabrielles and Sir Richards!

    I will browse 'I want it now' lists form ebay to give me an idea…. Who knows, maybe I will be lucky to find a coffee table, like benedictadams!

    Good luck all (meaning bargains and matched betting, and just betting..)

    SoScrooge and everyone doing a boot tomorrow keep your eyes out for a blue 746 BT phone, they are one of the rarest colours, cream colour is common so wouldn't fetch a profit

  • Someone has just sent me a question email from ebay asking if I would close the auction early for the £16 amazon vouchers for £5-£10 - I'm holding out for more!!
