    ooh Lannieduck - Ive sold loads of comics :) youll do ok with those! I actually think they are quite easy as you can just use the 'sell similar' option. If you have any with posters/interviews in them - certain people or groups can fetch good amounts!
    Doing ok - got loads finishing tomorrow and they are not doing too badly....

    Thanks sophiasmum. You inspired me to get on and list them; it's done! :) Not nearly as bad as I thought it was. Using 'sell similar' is a brilliant tip. Thanks :beer:

    I sold three items, 10 pounds value :) I'm excited about decluttering and getting cash :)

    I'm waiting for one of my buyers to pay for a lingerie set. I had a look at their past purchases - nearly all are for bras/sets, nearly all the band size but all kinds of small-med cup sizes....think it might be a male I'm selling to....I don't think I want to think about this very much, do I? :)

    oh Listerbelle - dont let those thoughts into your head! Though his cash as good as anyones!
    Had a good weekend :) Sold a collection only item on my 3rd attempt, for £50 and a few other items - totalling about £85. One of the buyers (who has bought off me before) emailed this morning to say she couldnt pay until Friday.... so waiting for some of the money to come in...

    Hello everyone! I have been away for from this thread for a long time (seemed like) but I still lurk to see how you all doing. We've moved to our new house :) I had to chuck loads of stuff but kept the ones worth selling. I don't know if my need for money is greater than my need for space. Everywhere I look there's clutter and the we've filled the garage too :( I can't stop buying, my order from debenhams has just arrived and I've placed an order from amazon for a george foreman grill. I feel like a lost cause :(
    I want to start fresh. I need to motivate myself big time and read other people's decluttering quest and go back to old style thread.

    Still plodding along with my listings, not many but better than nothing. Anyway has anyone noticed the schedule times have disappeared just under where you put the price?

    MerryMary - I think we all fall off the bandwagon at one time or another so don't be too hard on yourself. I normally try to catch a show of 'Hoarders' or read through some of my decluttering books to get me motivated. In fact, today, when something fell out of my kitchen cupboard for the hundredth time I took everything out and gave it a good clean. Then I looked at every item and its 'best by' date and found some items from 2007 when we first moved it - yech! At any rate, it took me only 30min and now looks fab - no longer stuffed to the brim with things i'll never use and didn't know i still had. And it made me more productive at work too. :) One small benefit of working from home.

    All the best to the group on your ebaying!!

    I've been setting aside boxes of things to ebay but it'll have to wait until I've got a bit more time/motivation. Dealing with my first postal loss right now and it's a huge pain especially as it was an item I was returning to a seller who completely misrepresented the product....
