    Mymamma:
    Bubble wrap from the supermarket fruit/veg sections
    Envelopes i get for free at work
    I buy my mailing bags in bulk via ebay, as i don't like receiving items in black bags and some have a smell

    Mavvymoo at that price i'd be half tempted to sell the red ones too. well done

    Got my auctions ending tonight so will dig out the things that have bids on but fingers crossed for lots more last day/last minute bids. Only have 12/50 going to sell at the moment, although they are all relists and listed on the last FLW so not just 99p items. Will hopefully prep a few more listings to schedule to today

    Thanks everyone I am tempted to sell the Red ones but they are not the same as the Black ones (Which are now up to £33.06 ):eek:
    But I brought my first pair of new Red shoes for about 3 years and was so excited got them in a sale and with discounts and postage they cost £27 :eek: So decided I didn't like them when they arrived :( So in a typical MSE way they are now up for sale on Ebay and have already reached £30 + postage. :rotfl: So really want to keep the £3 Red shoes as they are nice and comfy.But knowing me if they are not nailed down they are sold to reduce the Overdraft.:D
    Good luck everyone with your items ending today lets hope for bidding wars towards the end.Will post back later and let you know how I got on.When I last looked it was about £150 :T

    Debt free and Mortgage free thank you to all for your encouragement and advice

    Mavvymoo - your doing really well! :) Those shoes must be lovely! All my items ending today will sell (for varying amounts) and Ive got 10 99p items scheduled that Im going to put live tonight. Going to hopefully add some more stamps as well.....I get paid at end of next week so I think next weekend will be a good one for ending listings!

    I've sold one of my nine listed items. It's a dress I bought for 2.50 in a charity shop 10 years ago, sold it for just over five pounds :)

    Every little helps :)

    Wow Maavvy - that's fantastic! Listerbelle, whenever you can sell on for more that's awesome too.

    I've just had 2 sales out of 10 relists last week. Been so busy with work just couldn't manage more. At least one of the two was a big ticket item and went for over £300! Yay. (Overall I lost £22 on it as it was new from last year - but at least it's now gone and I've a bit more space and the cash back in hand. Thank goodness as I just got my energy bills for the last 5mos and they're almost double last year's :eek: probably due to all the increased costs of heating for the babies and their laundry too.)

    Good luck everyone with your sales finishing tonight!

    Quick question pls - how can I tell how many 99p listings I have left for the month?

    I'm feeling inspired :)

    Most of mine didn't sell, but I'd put them on for fairly high start prices. I'll put them around again with lower starting prices on the next FLW.

    Got two sales tho, and have listed another 6 items this weekend which should do well. They're OH's unworn clothes - I don't mind listing those with a lower starting value because I don't have any emotional attachment to them - I find it much harder to risk my old stuff going for very low amounts.

    Well none of mine paid yet! To be fair - Ive had to combine postage for the majority of them and issue invoices. Hopefully Ill have a flurry of payments while Im in work today and then have some packing to do tonight....
