    Wow - everyone has been really busy :D

    None of my items have sold on Amazon yet and I'm going to put my charity shop finds on Ebay tomorrow to see how they go.

    I found £1 in the pub last night - you have never seen someone get so excited over £1 before :rotfl: - I have gone and spent it already on a Guess jean jacket that I found in a charity shop for a pound!! Bargain!! :D

    My boyfriend's mum also had a charity bag that was going to go to the shop on Monday, so I rummaged through it and found a Levis jean jacket and a BRAND NEW pair of Quiksilver jeans - they've even still got the tags on!! So I cheekily swiped these to put on Ebay tomorrow ;) .

    Welcome to all of our new challengers - good luck :D

    Hi, of course you can join. The rules to this challenge are in the first post of this thread. You will need to find a way of making £1 for nothing to get started.

    Good luck :D

    Yep - that's the idea :D - Pubs are really good for finding loose change too :D

    I would get as far ahead as possible if I were you so that you've got more time to get the bigger cash coming in :D - that's my plan anyway.

    I was kind of thinking the same thing

    know the first weeks are gonna be easier than the last week (potentially £500 to double:eek: :eek: :eek: )

    I know it's going to be tough but I'm planning on building up £100 to £200 as quickly as possible and then getting some wholesale stuff that I can sell (either from a website or from Ebay). That way I will have enough time to resell this wholesale stuff and hopefully make a massive profit and if that's not enough then I'll have more time to do it again :D
