This sounds pretty cool, although pretty tough too, especially when I havnt got much to sell that I don' want etc.
what have people found most useful - money vs time/effort wise without selling stuff they already had?0 -
50,000 dooyoo miles is £50 cheque but you can also get amazon vouchers in £5 denominations (min £20).
I haven't managed to add anything really yet this month0 -
Hi Elly and all.
Found 11p
Used coupons at Sainsbury's worth £9.20.
Also bought 7 nice cards for £1 at Card Factory.
They also do the 10 for £1 deal but there wasn't much choice in those.0 -
Ahhhh, sold loads on ebay. The post office will be very happy with me tomorrow when I walk in with my 44 items. Lol.
Oh, and if you don't know it's free listing weekend on ebay this weekend0 -
Hi Everybody
I sold my bike for £50 over the weekend and also sold and item on ebay which put £10 in my paypal account so will add another £60 to my total.
I had an email about free listings day on Ebay so I am really going to get organised and put alot of stuff on there over the weekend.
Which day has people for to be the best day to add the items on and also do people put them on for 7 or 10 days.
Thanks

I have been lurking and reading with interest.
I wont do £11k
But I am intent on doing something close to £5k.
I sold my motorbike, tax and MOT were due so saved that, also got an insurance rebate, tidy.
I've got loads on ebay at the moment with plenty of watchers and a few early bids.
I bought a gold chain about 8 years ago for £130, currently HGM are offering to cash it in for £500 which is nice.
So all in all I have cashed in about £2k in a week. wooohoooo
Now I know that this sort of caper is very front ended, you tend to sell the bigger, most valuable and most desireable stuff earlier and easier so it's going to get harder from here on in.
Well done all, it's been good inspiration for meSealed pot challange no: 3390 -
Hi everyone.
Adding on £90.54 from ebay sales after fees, a £13.84 bingo win from a couple of weeks ago & £40 from Mr T double refund (at Customer Services & also a gift card with a letter of apology) from some meat that was off that I had taken back. That takes me to £1669.68 so far for the year plus still have OH's overtime to add when he gets paid which should be worth a bit as he has been working lots of extra hours.Grocery aim £450pm.Spent £519 August, £584 July, £544 June, £541 May, £549 April, £517 March, £517 Feb,£555 Jan, £573 Dec, £465Nov, £561Oct, £493Sept, £426Aug,£496 Jul, £528Jun, £506May,£498April, £558 March, £500Feb, £500 Jan, £490 Dec, £555 Nov,£566 Oct, £505Sept, £450Aug, £410 July, £437 June, £491 May, £471 April, £440 March, £552Feb, £462Jan0 -
