    I'm recharging my batteries tonight and starting again in the morning. Thx for the reminder that Sundays the last ebay day - you've got me thinking and I'm going to have a look round the charity shops tomorrow and then the house.

    I've just found a Samsung e720 charger in the drawer downstairs - would that count because it came free with the phone package? (phone was stolen in August). I'm also going to go to Tesco's and invest some of my total in toiletries (thx to Annie) and then I'm going to find a car boot for next weekend and try to sell them along with 2/3 box fulls of videos that are in the garage (inherited them from friends). What else can I do......

    I'm going to make a list - I'm a list addict - I need a list or a post it note to help me handle every situation - is that really sad?

    :T I've got nearly 400 for nothing!!!!:T

    Luv Jxxx

    PS Forgot to say that I started a thread on here that's resulted in me getting some french translation!!:D Should be an extra 20 quid odd!!....another thing to get done this weekend :eek:

    While I'm at the car boot I'm going to look out for old perfume bottles because they go for quite a bit on ebay - do you have to pay to go in to a car boot if your not selling anything? If not then I might find some this weekend and have a look to.

    depends which ones u go to. most will charge between 20p and 50p (some are free but few and far between)

    Good for you Jpet - I found the toothbrushes went well and also nice shampoo like the herbal essences stuff and the vitamins and shower gel like Dove and also impulse and mens smellies. At the moment tesco are offering bogof on tesco chewable vit c 180's but the bogof comes off at higher than the scanning price (can't remember exact prices)so there is an extra bargain to be had there. Don't forget to make sure you use as many of the coupons you can. Plus others if you have them.

    I know that New naturalist nature books can sell for 100's but I don't know what they are and aparently the UK versions of the following Sega 32X games: Primal Range (200+), Darxide (750+), T-Mek (600+), Knuckles Chaotix (40+), Kolibri (30+).

    Hope this helps someone to reach their target :beer:

    Annie - is there a limit on how many vouchers you can use in tesco's? How much stock for the car boots did you buy in one go?
