    Hi Zangels, do you have NCT sales near you? Some (not all - no car seats & prams needs instructions last I heard) of that list will sell there. We also have a shop near which sells for you but keeps 50% of the selling price - big wodge but gets big items out of the house and the selling price can be higher than car boots.

    Friend of mine also sells LOADS via Friday Ad - not me though, never works!
    Iv had a look at that but dont think i have the instructions for the pram. I will ahve a look though. Think it may be ebay. I will wait for a free listing day though as i woul want to put a decent start price.
    Looking forward to new ventures :beer:

  • I think I played too many games as I auto-played and it carried on while I was making post comments. I presume it was slow tonight as everyone will be trying to make up their points before the cut off.

    Just a question about the surveys, do I have to log in to all those sites everyday or will they email me when there is something to do?

    If you go to your profile and scroll down to the bottom, it shows you the games you have played. I thought it was 10 games of 24??? im on there just now, I got a wee break tonight and had dinner with my 2 girl friends, was nice to just chill and talk crap to adults :)

    Hi all, looking forward to the challenge

    see you all on Bingoport, I am miranda310
  • Hi,
    I have been doing surveys online for about 12 years!
    Over the years I have found they can all be frustrating, particulary with glitches at the end of a survey which prevents a payout!
    My current favs are:
    SurveyNetwork- Just joined in November and earned £60 so far. They have at least three surveys a day which pay £3 if all are completed. If you don't qualify for a survey you can continue until you either do- or run out of surveys! Money earned is added to your account in a couple of days. And at £20 you can cash in to your Paypal account. It takes about 5 to 10 days to arrive and there are no charges from Paypal against what you have earned. Highly Recommended!

    Valued Opinions- For me regular surveys which I often qualifiy for. You can get to the £10 pay out quite quickly and I have earned about £200 from them this year. Anyone doing the £30 "Drinks diary" with them at the moment? Recommended!

    MySurvey- Now combined with lightspeed panel. Over the years I have earned quite a bit with both survey sites. Joining together seems to give the best of both worlds. The reduced number of points needed to cash out and Paypal from Lightspeed. And 5 points credited for any surveys not completed from Mysurvey. The site does have some annoying glitches such as "you have paused the survey" messages when you start a survey. And surveys that have their full quota as soon as they appear! But even so it is a good payer and I have about £75 from both this year. Recommended!

    Surveyhead- Started out as quite a good site and have earned about £90 since joining in Oct 2009. Tends to list one survey regulary each day. This used to pay about 62p but now pays 42p :( And yet the same survey on Surveynetwork pays £1! So I now tend to do any other surveys they list which usually pay more for less time! Pay out is at £15 and takes 4 to 6 weeks to reach your paypal account. Fairly recommend but not as good as it used to be!

    Newvista- Rather irratic number of surveys which used to pay £1 for every 5 minutes. In a bid to increase the number of surveys they have increased the amount of time. So on average £1 for 10 minutes and £1.50 for 20 minutes etc! Still I have earned £150 in the last three years and almost up to another £50. :) The cheque is sent about a month after you reach that amount. Recommended but not perfect!

    Maximiles- Been with this company and its predecessor Ipoints for years now. And have earned loads!! About £200 this year from clicking on e-mails, the odd purchase and the rather interesting surveys! Recommended.

    I do other surveys such as Rewarded Opinions which has been good with a couple of £20 surveys but it seems to have gone off the boil recently with next to no surveys for me. Toluna a bit of a mixed bag. I have earned £30 since they merged with ciao who I had been previously with. I prefered ciao where could get cash at a low £5 payout. Now you need 80,000 points for a £15 voucher which takes weeks to arrive- even when its electronic! Not keen!
    Pure Profile- I have earned quite a bit from this site but you do need to check regulary as they hardly ever notify you of any surveys. At least they pay you 5p for any survey you take but don't qualify for. And unusually do listen to if you have a glitch and after investigating actually pay you! So not bad!!

    The most depressing thing I find on surveys is where you don't need to put in your age but just click the box and there it lists all the ages you were when you started doing surveys on that site!! Doesn't time fly!!

    This is excellent info! Really useful thanks, there are some here I haven't heard of so I'll go and check them out :D
    Making money for Christmas 2012!

    Toluna, MySurvey, and Valued Opinions email when there are surveys. There are also others on Toluna that you can be invited to after completing the questions that give you 20/30 points etc.
