New to it all and want to know what you all sell.

Besides the fact I am very nosy, I have recently done my first sale on ebay and would like to get more things sold after christmas. It will only be a side thing to make a bit of spare cash and/or get rid of some junk but I wondered what other folk on here sell or sold at first to get them started.
I have been buying for a while so pretty much know how things work. There is some bizzare things being sold on ebay, things I didn't know could be sold. Ladies selling their used underware and tights for one(my g/f noticed when she was looking for her) someone sold a jar on Nottingham air on there once and it made the local news :rotfl:
So what do you sell or have sold on ebay?

    I was fortunate to have a friend who advised me to start by buying lots of stuff for £1 - £2, just to build up my feedback score. I wasn't really bothered what I bought that first week, a bucket & spade, a plastic tambourine etc, Just loads of crap basically. But within a fortnight I had reached the 10 feedbacks needed to start bidding & selling using 'buy it now'. Just reached 250 today!

    If you have a Home Bargains near you, go in there and buy loads of £1 or £2 items, and sell them for double.

    My first ever Ebay Challenge. So far after fees etc for 2007 - £635.72 :T
  • Thanks guys, my feedback is 100% and is in the 60's just between me and g/f buying(we live together) and total pos is around 70+ cause of buying from same sellers. Can't bear to part with cd's or dvds as I like to see them taking up room :rolleyes: but my g/f has absolutely LOADS of spare branded clothes she wore once if not at all that she wants to sell.

    Yes Your Dukeiness :D
  • I buy things in bulk off ebay and then list individually. It is very time consuming and I don't make a fortune but it's more entertainng than watching TV.
    Good luck

    I don't sell anything in particular, just stuff that's laying around that I don't need, but is too good to just throw away.

    As long as you still have the inlay cards/booklets, it shouldn't be a major problem - you can buy new cases.
