    it can be a good sign if nothing being bid on yet. You don't want people bidding and putting off people that may bid more, if bidding starts too early, if you see what I mean?

    I like to bid near the end of an item, so I can get it at a price I want, but if I see bidding now, I won't bother, as it will be out of my price range by the time I get it.

    I am not saying that is good for you, because it's not, you want the highest you can get for it, but don't worry about no one bidding at the moment.

    Had a few things sold on e-bay, OH had a deposit paid for a job he is doing next month. Also had some vouchers and earned co-op stamps and a few pounds from surveys. So the total so far this month is £698.64 :D Just got around £50 to go to hit target for the month.

    Still surprised how it all adds up when you put a bit of effort in. Got to tidy and clean the house from top to toe today, so hoping to find a few pennies to add to the total, then I will count my money pot to see if I can fill some money bags to pay into the bank.

    hey everyone,

    Just nipping in to update... I managed 18 new listings, 3 relists, and four Amazon listings. Although I didn't quite manage the full 20, I'm pleased as it's more than I've done before. I've also sold one of the amazon listings already! 2 ebay auctions also ended last night - not great prices, but better than nothing, so will update that once I've posted today.

    Congratulations to everyone who completed the challenge, or came close.
