I have found this telephone on ebay, 130037026823. Looks like the blue shade we are after, but it sold for £8.


benedictadams or anyone, really..

Have you tried matched betting? I just checked Coral, betfair, paddypower and totesport sites... and they all look so different

Maybe I need to PM Dan29, the MB tycoon?

I think I am ok with the principle of MB, but where do you start once you opened an account with the bookies?

Thanks for your advice.

This should help http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=153246

I'm excited as I've just done my first matched betting this evening. Good luck if you decide to go for it- some people are doing very well out of it. See you on the gambling loophole board...

well done everyone; this thread is very inspiring;
quick question for ebayers; i have got to start ebaying my stuff - never done it before. do you use paypal or wait for cheques to clear?
thanks in advance

I use Paypal. The cost of parking near my bank is more expensive than the Paypal fees. I like the speed of Paypal too. I'm too impatient to wait for cheques to arrive.

very rarely do i get a cheque.

i'd prefer postal orders.

means i do get that i don't need cash when posting the item and can then pay the rest into my bank account

a friend of an ex used to sell 746 and trim-phones on ebay and that was the best way to do it

if you have an old sticky label on a cd, or anything then get some furniture polish, leave it for a while, and it will lift it of a treat

(i should get my one kim and aggie type show!)

cos im am so busy saving money the house is a tip!!!!!!!!!!!

problem is that i am cleaning the stuff for ebay and if it ain't going to be sold then it ain't getting cleaned at the moment

maybe i'll get around to doing housework on christmas eve!

My house resembles a giant jumble sale...I've got bags of listed stuff...bags awaiting listing...bags to post...bags awaiting cheque clearance...etc etc! But it's all worth it. I've got 11 items ending today, all donated to me at some point. Hardest to put on was a mulberry bag given to me by my (now ex) husband. It was a hard decision to make, but every penny counts, and I have the satisfaction of getting some money out of him at last! Hope it sells though!!!

I have a bid on one of my items!! yay!! and I only put them on last night!!

It only the starting bid of 99p which if anything I now havent lost any money as this will pay the ebay fees for the 3 items, the actual item that has been bid on was a relisted item so will only have to pay the selling fee on that one
