Well, I was feeling a bit down in the dumps til I read the newsletter! Hehe, wonderful stuff WoA. Got the answer to the puzzle too :j

Congrats to everyone thats over their original target :T

eBay seems to have stalled for me, or maybe its just that my junk is everyone else's junk too? Got 5 ending on Monday so fingers crossed.

Ebays confused me to - in a good way tho!!

I bought a Royal Worcester Tea Set on ebay for 17 pounds inc p+p n have just sold it for 48.99 inc p+p!!!!!!!

The wierd thing is last time I listed it it didn't sell!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, I sold 4 things on e-bay amounting to 52.18 (exc p+p) - bringing my total up to .................(drum roll)............342.23!!!!!

A slightly bizarre ebay tip for everyone, but one that has worked for me many times. If you have an item that doesn't sell, wait a week and then relist.....at a higher price!

Sounds crazy, but it seems to be somehow psychological. People see something really good and think that because it's SO cheap, there must be something wrong with it, but are happy to pay a bit more as if it's reassuring in some way.

I sell quite expensive stuff, and this trick has worked many times. I have two items up at the moment...absolutely identical, but one is £3 more than the other....guess which one sold last night?

just back from the local sorting office and good news is it wasnt my amazon parcel being returned to me, it was my baileys milk frother freebie I sent for ages ago!

Have found a few things to ebay,but wanna put them on so they finish next saturday.Doing an extra hour at work tomorrow so that will be another £6 for next weeks total.

I seriously need a good hard kick up the bottom as I haven`t been trying as hard as I possibly can.

yay - two more amazon sales today! Only 1p books so not a lot but every little helps!

Oh, and I'm going to add that £300 onto my total as my challenge money is to reduce my overdraft and that's where the money has gone!

spendaholic chick - I've just caught up on the thread, and I think you're right to addthe money from your gran - its only because of the challenge that she gave it to you at that time, so go for it.

Sold an old amplifier of my dad's on ebay for £68!! Will update total once the cheque has been received and postage paid for etc.

Hope to make a small amount from matched betting today but not much else to report.

I have put 5 more things on ebay today on a 10 day listing to get hopefully the benefit of two weekend loads of peeps ready to eagerly spend their cash.

benedictadams

have got five things to list tomorrow

charity shops were kinda disappointing

got a gorgeous orange fluffy Gap top for me though (trying to convince myself that it should be listed), but was only 99p so not too much of a disaster if i keep it

Sorry guys, I've been majorly slack this week and I'm going to have to temporarily duck out until next week, but I'll be back and will add anything I do make in the meantime.
