    hi...rebl43...yep.....certainly am........

    i am going to list them with ..a

    clothes peg ...( for the nose )

    dispoable gloves ( for handling )

    a disposable paper overall ( if i can get one )

    hazard warning sign (well make something on the computer)

    and anything else i can think of......:D

    Dunno about the socks but that's a cool clutch bag you've got there :D I'd be tempted if I wasn't such a good DFW these days.

  • thank you mrs sparkle.....i picked that up for the unbeliveable price of 20p......i was in two minds to sell it...
    so if it doesnt sell.. i'm not bothered......as i will either put it in the attic for a few years...or use it...

    pricing of stuff around our way is very irractic.....it goes in phases.. you can either pick up stuff dirt cheap... or its really expensive...

    Blimey that's a bargain. And like you say it's no big deal if you don't sell it. I think I need to go carbooting next weekend as the charity shops all seem overpriced.

  • i read somewhere there is a brill carboot around the london area....oh god whats the place called now....its where birds of a feather was based....

    by all accounts top notch branded stuff.....

    but i find the best car boot sales are the one offs

    you get people car booting because it help the cause... so most of the time you get really cheap prices.... ok there are some people there that go ott with their prices... but on the whole they are brill

    I've got a further £56.50 to add to my total from the Ebay stuff I sold tonight :D
  • Wow, you have an eye for this ...
    the beauty about software is that charity shops tend to lump it together with cds when most of the time it can be worth more

    Any old Microsoft or Apple operating systems especially with a COA will do well on ebay

    same with MS Office type products

    The same with old Mac computers (the ones which came in the various bright colours)

    Seen them at a car boot for £20 and they are worth (provided they are working) at least double that especially if they have the OS software cds

    Cash Convertors tend to price them for what they are worth on ebay

    just bought a bundle of clothes for £5.50 so that makes my total £13.31
    Hopefully my lots will arrive in a few days and I can relist them for a profit

    My ebay items (66) only 4 are selling so far and they are fetching £7+
