i don't get the quidco obsession here! from everything i've heard, it doesn't seem better than Rpoints because they keep the first £5 you make every year, if things don't track I've been told that manual claims aren't usually successful...and anything they offer is matched by the Rpoints HCP anyway! serious question -am i missing something??

serious answer... i think you've got it all.

ask around and most people will tell you the tracking on rpoints is a lot better than that on quidco (don't just take my word for it) and it's a lot easier to get hold of someone if you have a problem.

and yes... rpoints will match all offers by the HCP.


anyhow.. it looks like we're digressing. i didn't make any more money today... waiting for a couple of phones to arrive which i'll be selling on. found a couple of amazing deals (over now)

Just sold one item on ebay buy it now price, so £5 profit to add to my pot. Will update my sig on Sunday, when all my other items will have closed, and hopefully will have sold for loads!

Just sold my first 2 items on ebay for a grand total profit of £3.40!!! Can't wait till I get paid for the overtime I've done as only then will I add it to my total and at least I can look like I'm doing something as it should be around £100 +! Well done to everyone so far though you're all doing very well!

Thanks to a very generous Mum helping out with my car expenses I now have another £50 to add to my total. Cheers Mum!!

One of the things I listed last night has sold already - £6. Several more with watchers. Need to sell 1 more to cover the listing fees for the rest and get into profit (or aren't we subtracting listing fees for non-sellers from our eBay profits?).

Just done a bit of extra work as well which will bring in £150 - but won't add that until it is in the bank!

Just cos you have watchers, don't mean the item will sell well *grumble Grumble*. One of mine just finished, 6 watchers........ TWO bids!

To say I'm puddle'd off is an understatement!!!!!!!

although it's a case of being at the right place at the right time (or not as the case may be) if you are in a position where you can make the slightest complaint as a consumer then do it. My husband laughs at the amount of letters/emails of complaint that I write but I would say 7 times out of 10 I come out smiling - yes there's that many. I got £125 from the Bank for not answering a complaint after 6 months, I collected all the evidence and posted it to one of the main offices and received a cheque within a week. I have complained about lack of lunch options at one place, a bug in the same bag (alive) as a sandwich that they had given me. I complained to a restaurant about running out children's meals at a weekend during lunchtime. All of these have paid off and these are just examples. I know that I have come across as a real whingebag here but when you are in debt you will try anything ...

Other survey opportunities - mediatransfer.com (points = amazon vouchers) I have had 3 x £16 so far. It can take some time tho. Pineconeresearch offer luncheon vouchers - I have had approx. £32 so far. They pay these in £4 lots for each survey you do so you are bound to have qualified for at least one in 6 months.

Anyway I will keep racking my brains for you all and keep reading as I said in my 1st post ever #855.

I keep flicking from here to the 'what you never thought you could sell' forum.

take care
