I could do with £11000 so I'll have a go. Got the first £22.14 from affiliate marketing.

Right feeling very excited right now, gone and bought some e-bay stock for the first time ever, hope I make money on it!

My local Mothercare is having a 'everything must go' closing down sale, and I figured Mothercare stuff should sell well? I bought a total of £239.85 RRP value stuff, all nice and clean and in original bags where appropriate, with original Mothercare full-price price tags on.
I've got
3 twin packs of Moda nursing bras
I pair of nursery curtains
I nursery fabric lantern (poncy name for lampshade)
2 pairs of girls 'Ugg-style' boots
3 pairs of boys character slippers (Ben-10, Horrid Henry, spiderman

and 14 adorable Christmas toddler coveralls (long sleeve bib things but Xmas costumes as well, little snowman, father christmas, christmas pudding designs) that I'm going to save to sell near Xmas 2011.

So, £240 total value in shop full-priced - how much do you reckon it all cost? £22.50! Bit of a bargain I thought!

There was loads there and I didn't really know what to buy, so I just went for the best condition stuff that will package cheaply and easily, and that I thought was cute. I might go back tomorrow for some more - what do you think of my choices? Anything duff you think won't sell? Anything I should grab as much as possible. Any other suggestions (it was mainly clothing, and I don't have enough money to invest in things like pushchairs).

Wow, you have got yourself a real bargin there and you should be able to see a good profit from all that:T:T

Mothercare and baby stuff dose sell well if its new and at a good discount to shop price. With what you ahve paid for it all you can aford to start your bids very cheep.
I would say you should get £150-£200 for that lot. some will sell better than other but thats the way it goes.

let us know hoe you do.

Good luck:beer:

Argh, first day back at work and I did not enjoy it. Was having a bad hair and face day. Also, to make matters worse, I got home and realised that I had a huge hole in my jeans. Pink pants been on display ALL day - fun times.

Need to get my bum in gear. Thought id got lucky, won £25 on bingo but to withdraw I had to deposit like £50 :eek: Errr no.

Was also looking at the census jobs but apparently its very hard work for the pay .

Err, bought a bottle of juice at work (£1:eek:) so I'm 'fining' myself £2. Transferring it over just now.

And just for some inspiration and for proof that life can be good

I won my first 'biggie' last month - a £500 farmstay holiday to Cornwall...well chuffed and you do have to be in to win - that win was from an internet lucky dip Parenting mag comp too...so not even any effort required!

Grrr, I'm getting angry at myself due to the lack of moneymaking :(.

I think I'm going to have a nice bubble bath and then list some stuff on eBay. Maybe I'll have an epiphany and come up with an idea to make myself millions!:rotfl:
