£1 loan payments, orangutans and learning it doesn't all happen overnight...

Kepp

I can't say I like running - just am trying to start early ready for needing to wear a bikini in November!

Glad that the spreadsheet is looking good

List for today:

1) Put chairs up for sale on Gumtree
2) Finish filling box for Amazon trade-in
3) Check CDs through Music Magpie to decide where to sell them
4) List 10 items on eBay
5) Wrap Amazon orders

I'm pretty sure I won't get all that done tonight as I'm working tonight but I can try and make a start!

Always best to start early room for slip ups :-) hehe good luck with the listings xx

List making is addictive, eh? I wish I had your energy. I have a few nights alone this week and I'm hoping to get cracking on my own list

I love nights to myself - always makes me a lot more productive

:mad: On reading someone else's diary, I checked my Amazon trade-in list and it is empty! From checking the titles that I can remember, none are available for trade-in anymore. Shouldn't have waited to fill the box I guess and should have just sent them!

Oh no! *off to check*

What a PITA

Oh no, MrsB, I'm guessing the same has happened to yours? :mad: I'm going to have a go at listing them separately now, see what comes of that. So annoying though when I had already got 20 odd on the trade-in list. Hope it doesn't set you back too much.

In better news, pay day today! :j

Meaning £409 to the loan, so close to seeing the back of that one now!

All the fiction has gone but the textbooks are still there (although at a lower price). I now definitely need to get this done this week.

Good job on the payments - that loan will be gone by the end of the week!

I'm wondering if since it got posted on MSE if they have been flooded with books? Would make sense I suppose. Would it better for you to list your text books for sale individually rather than trade-in? I was amazed that the books I recently listed sold for the price they did (although they were old gaming books my brother had so maybe the fact they were specialist helped) and the listing was very quick and easy. I thought there was no point listing fiction as they all seem to be on there for a penny, but I worked out after postage there was still 80p - £1 profit per book to be made. Depends if you have the time I guess!

Now there's a challenge - end of the week here I come!

I would probably make more £ but to be honest I am so unmotivated to wrap and send that I love the idea of one box for everything. I'm also impatient and don't want to be hanging around waiting for them to sell. Not very MSE!
