  • Been and bought more books today! (OH well impressed I don't think!) One sold as soon as listed. We now have over 1000 books on Amazon. Here's hoping they all sell tonight and then I will have a decent total rather than mine which seems to be going down rather than up.

    Only one of my items on ebay is selling - and that is for 99p. Need to get some more things on, and other stuff down to the auction.

    I think it was on here (but could be wrong) that someone mentioned the pound shops. i'm off to Poundand tomorrow and read that people buy quite a bit to ebay from there - does anyone know what kind of thing sells? i need to list more on Ebay and think this might help!

    thanks...

    And I got a wee mention, thank you very much :o

    My shares sold Thursday at 5.15 (option price was £3.77 so very happy thank you very much) They do not hit my bank account until the 8th March so I can't update my siggy until then as I am unsure of the final total less costs, tax etc. I'll be happy whatever it is as its a total unexpected bonus. :j

    I have checked all my old profit sharing, SAYE and bonus schemes at work. I think I may have found a whole 15 (:rolleyes:) ordinary shares as well, still checking that out. Not earth shattering but money thats potentially mine all the same.

    Get out their people and check, check, check all your old accounts and paperwork. :search:

    there might be some things that sell well but I proably wouldnt bother, lots of people will be doing the same thing, so probably would make alot if anything! there is probably a reason that poundland are selling for a pound anyway! :)


    but in saying that before christmas I picked up a little christmas ornament in there and sold it for £2 at a car boot sale!

    be sure to remove any poundland labels before you sell anything though!!
    finally debt free and want to keep it that way!!

    Some friends are desperately trying to raise money so are ebaying anything not nailed down. A relative gave them a box of stuff to sell. ....all used bits and he's not too fussed about getting anything for it.

    One of the items has had huuuuuge interest from around the world with phone calls begging them to end the auction early........and bidding is currently at....wait for it.....£890!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:eek:

    I'm off to update my total and dream.
