  • Hi I'm new to all of this. I've got a few things now on ebay, interested in the tips about selling books on amazon. Got a loft full of junk to sell. Put me down for bronze level!

    note to self: try NOT to buy other challengers items as you are trying to save money!

    right that over with must try to resist buying ladder 49! love that film but most of the stuff I will be selling throughout the challenge will be unwatched dvds that I have accumulated!! lets hope whoever is selling it will get lots for it so I will not be tempted! (either that or get my parents to buy it! :rolleyes:)

    I have decided to make a diary of this challenge in a notebook I got for christmas, I will record all my progress and what I have done each day to try and incrase my total.

    Good Luck guys!

    have done a diary also maybe we could sell them for next challenge!!!

    annie are your books on amazon or ebay? me thinks you re going to do very well again in this challenge. i could do with a few of your books.
    Amazon - Can't believe my luck really. Hubby brought them home from work - given to him by one of his colleagues. Listed it today at 16:59 and got a sold email at 18:32. Also sold the R&R'd DVD I got today - listed it at 16:02 and sold it at 19.49 so that another £7.06 profit for me, still have tons to list but UNI work must come first so wont have time till thursday night. Only taking quick break now then it's back too it:mad:
  • might try and list a few books each eve on amazon, if I have half as much luck as annie I will be happy!
    finally debt free and want to keep it that way!!

    Don't suppose you fancy doing an online one in the form of a blog? I've decided to go ahead and set one up. Would be good if a few people did so we could link them and spur each other on! I'm using https://www.blogger.com - not sure if I'm allowed to link to the actual blog on here though?!

    5. Look in to the Tesco R&R threads
    6. Use all vouchers possible
    7. Start a business using an ebay shop
    8. Get more translation work
