    Thanks Secret Lady for the link to the car boot page. I currently sell on ebay, but some of my stuff won't shift, so I have put it on there free of charge.

    I have heard iboot mentioned a couple of tmes on here and finally got around to having a look at it properly today (because I was trying to cut down the amount of sites in my favourites - suppose I should have been working) it looks ok - but I am a bit unsure of buying as it's new to me - has anybody else had experience on there ????

    Yes I have made a pitch and sold 3 items to date. 1 was a non-paying bidder but the other 2 paid by cheque and I re-listed the other 1. I am starting to get more and more offers. It is free for the 1st 90 days and from a sellers point of view with no fees it is brilliant! I definately recommend it!

    I had trouble downloading pictures onto it, but that's probably me being thick. However, I did buy one item and was happy with what I got and the speed it arrived.

    One thing that puzzled me was that it didn't look as though many people had actually sold anything when you looked at each sellers' profile, but I think that could be because people don't leave feedback. I had trouble working out how to do it.

    Good idea for a site but I think the site design could be improved. I may have another go at downloading pictures when I have the time.

    I've had quite a few things listed for months now and no sales. Still, I'm not a big Ebay fan so I'm happy to leave them on iBootSale in the meantime.
