  • Yes me!
    The worst that can happen is you start with nothing and end up with nothing. ;)


    Oh, and you fill your house up with junk that either your friends donate because they think they are doing you a favour, or you buy as part of job-lots and can't get rid of. So far I have accumulated:
    2 pairs of flip-flops
    a bagful of summer tops
    3 pairs of shorts
    a toy lion
    an Ipswich Town toy dog
    a willy shaped cruet set
    a cookie jar
    a trinket box
    a vacuum flask
    a picnic set
    some non-ceramic hair straighteners
    5 cucumbers
    a jar of chilli sauce (I think I'll be able to sell that)
    5 Crack-a-boxes ( a cross between a cracker and a gift-box)
    2 paperback books
    a Donny Osmond LP
    My dining table is beginning to resemble a church jumble sale. Has anyone any advise for me, please :confused:
    Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times and I'll smash your face in. :D
  • Thats a shame christmashopper - I suppose nothing ventured, nothing gained.
    I have listed something on ebay i was given so hoping to up my £1!!
    Where do you all keep your money, I suppose it has to be kept available in case you see something to buy to sell on?

    I keep my funds in the trinket box that failed to sell on ebay. I am hoping to raise enough to transfer it to the cookie jar that was too heavy to sell on ebay :D

  • A willy shaped cruet set - such a thing exists?!!!
    I think you'd better look out for an ebay free listing day! The crack a boxes might go well in the craft section?
  • Hi everyone,

    Well done, keep up the good work, I have some stuff on ebay, but it's not going for much,

    I have an idea does anyone else think it's worth it? I have all year been saving all the free stuff i have received from the freebies board on here, i was going to give it to my sister in a bag for her christmas, but stuff has happened this year and i have decided to buy her a proper present does anyone think this stuff would sell on ebay? if so where could i put it? it has everything from hemorroid cream to dvd's in it?

    Thanks

    I tried the cruet set on a 10 day listing and got absolutely no interest. And I tried the crack-a-boxes twice, in the craft section the first time and then in the Christmas section.
    Have you read about our secret code? :cool:
    If you search for soldbyagenuinememberofthe£1024fromnothingclub
    on ebay and tick the box for search title and description, you will see what we are selling. If you tick the box for completed listings, you will see what we have attempted to sell already. Please take a look at my crack-a-boxes and see if you think it is worth listing them again.

    Sorry. Wrong information there. I tried it and it doesn't work :o

  • cheers for the tip about the secret code on ebay, have added my items!
    finally debt free and want to keep it that way!!
  • I've just uploaded some clothes I was given - finger's crossed they sell. I have a whole black bag full.

    Hi Halloweenqueen...

    I managed to lose a £10 freebie bet when I first tried matched betting - thought I was being clever....NOT!

    Onwards and upwards......though I doubt I'll manage to repeat yesterday's success on ebay - a real one-off!

    Good luck :D
