Don't know if anyone knows about Coinks and the Mccains website?

both ways to make vouchers or money off coupons or buy stuff.

found 1p roadkill and also got 1000 pages of paper for 98p won't count the paper as savings, as it was paid for by an MS job.

I only had to pay 98p for the paper, as the rest is included in my job.

hi all, thanks for your advice regarding the chickens. OH seems to think we wont have enough room for a coop as we only have a small garden but as we have a labrador would need a coop trying to convince him that he is wrong lol.

i have someone interested in a portable tv i have for sale. so hopefully (fingers crossed) they will buy it. will update sig if they do.
hope everyone is well.
going to go through all my clothes tommorrow and see what i can sell.
also going to sell LO pushchair as he only really needs a stroller now. so going to have a look on ebay to see how much they're being sold for.

take care. will keep you all updated. x

Hi Everybody

Well I got £80 from some old broken rings that I sent off to Hattons Gold. Their service is really good.

I was quoted £52 from a Cash for Gold place were I live and then checked on their site, so well worth a look.

I have 25 items ending on ebay over the weekend so hopefully will have more coming in.

I am going to try and list a few items each day from now on as I really do have alot of stuff we dont want in the house.

When everybody is saying they are listing five items a day do you mean you actually list them or store them until it is another free listing weekend?

Take care

Ooh, thanks for reminding me about coinks - I used another £10 voucher for Butlins when I booked my holiday last week but forgot to add it. If anyone's interested, you can use the voucher with any bookings, even the really cheap discounted ones! I'm taking DS1 there next month for 5 days, with Dinner, Bed and Breakfast for £170!

I've had a load of ebay listings ending in the last few days but not worked out my totals so will have to add that later, wanted to nip on before I forgot everything though as I've not had chance to post lately.

Here goes...
£10 Butlins voucher
50p Sainsbury's voucher (found it at the self service checkout so scanned it and it worked!)
£10 Amazon Voucher from Shop and scan
£6 from Tesco - went to buy a top yesterday and found that womenswear is half price! I bought loads of things, but a only adding the savings from the top as that's the only thing I would have bought if the sale wasn't on.

The half price sale is on all clothes, bags and shoes but it ends today so be quick!!!

That takes my total to £69.20/£225.

did another few hours overtime yesterday so that's £31.81 so a new total of £140.50. Have had a few bits end on Ebay so just off to the post office to get them sent off then i can work out my new total

Just listed 3 items on ebay, i was hoping to use the scheduling, but couldn't find an option to use a scheduled listing....
Can someone point me in the right direction??

I really was hoping to list a few items each day but delay the start times until either free listing days or until ive built up to around 20 listings, but i cant find how to do it, not had much luck with ebay today!

Ive had to open an unpaid item case for 99p :eek: buyer has not responed to my invoice or messege, its been 5 days.

Another won an item for 9.99 then couldnt pay via paypal, they dont have an account ( they have now paid by postal order, but only after much faffing about! )

Another has bought an item for £9, not yet paid, its been 3 days, but has already left me glowing positive feedback ??

I seem to be attracting some strange buyers lately, and i haven't even got any "well worn" items listed :rotfl:

pleasedelete

I sympathize. I sold a 99p start item with 1.00 postage. Buyer bid £1.25 . Now sent email,saying he paid too much can he cancel! Item is new and at least £10 so he got a bargain.

There just doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day for me to do everything I am trying to do. My camera is flat and I can't find the charger for it!!
I have found a pile of old stamps, don't really know anything about stamps so not sure if it's best to pick out the oldest and do a few listings or list them all as one lot? Are there any advid stamp collectors here who would like to give me advice
Had £75 in vouchers today am debating if I should count them as I am not going to use them until buy a house?

£350 on eBay this morning. Got offers for another £300 but not sure. Selling some things I used to love but I'd rather have the money I think.

Saved £2.50. On parking by walking to town and used £7.18 of boots points to buy a 1st razor for my son (my baby no longer!).

I have about 85 items ending on eBay tomorrow. Lots of watchers but not many bids. Need to list 34 items by end of tomorrow to keep on track.
