    I never did. I nearly put a bid in on the fiona shrek duvet cover though!! - But then I thought it would be defeating the object.

    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:

    hi jpet77

    I tried searching for the above on ebay and could not find anything...:confused:

    how do you know these games sell well (where? US ebay?)

    Thanks.

  • Hi, I just wanted to say that reading this thread is what has inspired me to join the forum and face my debts head on properly.

    I'm still working my way through the thread and picking up tips as I go, but if anyone has a summary of money making tips from this thread, I'd be really interested to see it.

    I started this challenge on 11th November, so I'm in week 3 now and have £35.63 made from Pigsback and eBay.

    I tried to sell a piggybank that was given to me for my first £1, but nobody wanted it!

    best of luck to you and great to see you posting :)

    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?
    Yes there are limits and some stores differ - so if you feel you haven't got them as cheaply as you would have liked return some and try again. I went armed with probably 100 items to sell.

  • I'm nearly at the £300 mark... hoping that this weekend my star item will be Microsoft Office 2000 (Business version) - over 60 views so far and 1 watcher. Previous ones have gone for £20-£40... fingers crossed.

    Then when I make £300 this will be the exact amount I needed for my spending money in Thailand - I am so happy with this thread, it means I have an extra £300 in savings for... nothing!

    I don't have anything on eBay at the moment, I have a few bits waiting to go on but they don't seem to be selling well so I'm going to keep hold of them until nearer Christmas or even sell them by other means. :D

    Hi,
    I've added in the matched betting that I've done - including a 23.55 bet that doesn't come in until tomorrow (will edit if it goes wrong for any reason).

    Not far to reach this target!! - This time last week I didn't think that I would reach this target but now I think I will - and this week I don't think I'll reach next weeks so maybe I will make 512 from 512 in one week?

    4eva the optimist!! Luv Jxxx

  • I'm feeling a bit slow at the moment - must be the moserable weather I think I may have another £5 or £6 pound to add but really thwarted this week!
  • Years ago when I joined ebay I put one of those silly locations in! I can't remember or see where to alter it to my location so I can advertise something for local pickup!
