Need to make £65 before 31st October

leni

I need to pay another £65 off the debt to hit my October target. I have no money coming in from quidco/mystery shopping until next month. I've listed a few bits and bobs on ebay that have 5 days remaining and I have a couple of books on Amazon. Sold most stuff a couple of years ago.

Any advice on how to do it?:o

We have underspent this month, so I might have some free money from that but won't know until 28th Oct (payday)

Hope you get a good surprise on payday!
Is there anything like a car boot you could do? Anything lurking in the garage you could advertise either in your garden or in the local shop, nothing you could return to a shop?

I something about a cash converters, i don't know if you have any cds or electrical stuff, or anything that they sell in somewhere like that you could take along to get cash for stuff you don't want anymore?

Keep meaning to go through our DVD collection and sell some but OH likes having the BIG collection:rolleyes: MEN I also have a pair of roller blades I suppose I could sell! It's not £65 but it'll be a start!

Trick or treat

kneel down, wear a cape and face makeup and nobody will notice

How about selling freebies? I've sold a few things gotten on the freebies board (sim cards, a record etc) and from Pigsback (vouchers) and swapitshop.

How about buying to sell? You can pick up Levi jeans from £1 in my local charity shop also books, computer software etc. Spend a fiver and see how it goes profit wise.

Good Luck

dips, I did go trick or treating last year and got £5, well their was a bunch of us and we were a little !!!!ed, we took the £5 back to one of the houses we visited and gave it to their little girl!

I've just been round the charity shops, never know what to buy though, any tips? I saw an atkins diet book for £1 that I was tepted to buy and sell. Clothes wise I never know what to look for, but you've just reminded me I have a brand new cream suit bought for a wedding but I lost too much weight and it ended up too big, it's still got tags on and should of been £140 but I got it for £35 at an outlet store!

I reccomend old computer games (not PC). They have 'retro value' and sell for more than the pound or so you pay in a charity shop. Similarly computer books do well.

Clothes - any 'names' sell well. Levi, Gap, Next etc. Look on the website of the store and put on the listing RRP £35! etc then stick them on BIN for £7 - people snap them up.

hhmm, one charity shop has 3 playstation games for £1 each, will have to go back and have a look

Can you not put the dvd's onto your computer and then burn yourself a copy to keep.
That way, you could sell the original.
