    Have any of you who are selling stuff on ebay had a look at the freebie board? There is a really good offer at M&M Direct at the mo where you can get a free item (up to £5). Would be interesting to see who can make the most on ebay from their freebie??? I'm not doing the £1024 challenge but I have ordered a t-shirt from M&M and will let you know how it goes on ebay.

    Hi everyone

    I'm back from my weekend and I've got some more freebies to sell :D - we got given some really expensive beauty products so I am in the middle of listing them on Ebay to add to this challenge.

    I have sold my Miami Vice DVD on Amazon for £22 after postage and fees so that's been added to my total.

    My mannequins have arrived so I have listed 5 items tonight but haven't had time to list anymore so will do this on Tuesday. The Ebay items that I had on didn't do very well. The Quiksilver jeans made £1.01 profit but the Levi jacket lost 80p and the make-up set lost 80p too so I am down by 60p on that lot now. The other items I had on didn't sell so I have relisted them.

    My matched betting seems to be going ok. I have got £45 worth of cashback through this so far and I have got £25 in my totes account (which I can't seem to withdraw so will have to bet again with it :rolleyes: ) and £125.78 in my Betfair account. Therefore I have got £150.78 in different accounts when I have only used £110 through depositing in these accounts.

    I am therefore going to count the cashback and money in my account towards my total so far. That means that I have only bet twice and have already made £85 :D

    I have got £107 to add to my total all ready for tomorrow's update.

    Welcome to all of the new challengers and well done to everyone who has made progress over the weekend :T

    Thank-you for this ben - this is going to sound really dumb but what is the actual code I have to put in for the discount?

    Opps - I was being dumb - I've just seen it - thank-you!

  • hi..i have ordered a ben sherman t. shirt for £4.99 xlb
    and have had a confermation email.. so will wait and see if this arrives or if they send email to say out of stock

    it might be worth also looking at avon... as sometimes they have good blips....so keep an eye out on the discount and online codes part of mse

    Well done Cool, I miss out on your vouchers as I was unfortunately outbid!!!!

    I'm supposed to be making money not spending it!!!!
  • listed ten of the items, then got fed up

    One of them is really cringe-worthy, a Peak Practice soundtrack CD.

    The Microsoft server cd-roms might sell for an ok amount i'm hoping

    At the moment i'm happy with the total i'm on (would be nicer if i was further ahead, but i'm ahead of the £2 target)
