    Hi everyone
    I have just done a little clear out and have discovered a few things that may or may not sell on Ebay these include:

    ~ 30 Disney Lithographs that I have received over about 15/20 years, when buying Disney video's and DVD's.
    ~ An Alberon porcelain doll still in the box and wrapping on it.
    ~ A Winnie The Pooh collectable plate (still in original packaging)
    ~ 2 Winnie the Pooh framed pictures.
    ~ An Edinburgh Crystal clock (needs battery)
    ~ A Royal Albert clock (needs battery)
    ~ A 500GB External Hard Drive and case
    ~ 2 Kokeshi dolls

    I think I will hold off until there is a free listing weekend so I don't have to pay fees! :)

    I have been reorganizing my wardrobe to fit in all the presents I bought for people for Christmas 2011 and found them all hiding on the high shelves, I had forgotten about most of them and have had several of them for years! :D

    Good idea storing presents in a wardrobe - I was wondering where I was going to put them! I have just suggested the idea to MrEH who has said "oh dear - I'll need to find a new hiding place for your presents next year then!" - oops!!

    When you're ready to list that ext hard drive let me have the details and how much you want for it could you - we may be able to do a deal and save ourselves paypal fees!
