    Our used showerhead. We've got it , but a week later we realised is too big for us, needs stroner handle. I've ebayed it- granted, for 99p, while we bought it for £17- and sold it. Got amazing feedback :)

    99p listings rule!! :T

    I now have over 60 items on there with more still to list. I'd rather sell the stuff for 99p each than bin it :D
  • I've found so many great ideas from this - I've just been selling clothes that no longer fit/not worn but finding out how many random things sell is amazing!

    Going through my junk today to see what I can sell!!

    I was surprised that people are still buying VHS.
    Can we pretend that aeroplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars, cause I could really use a wish right now...

    I've had an old textbook languishing on my shelf for many years now, gathering dust. Finally gave up on procrastinating, and shoved it on Amazon three days ago.

    Turns out it's one of the better textbooks on digital electronics; sold last night!

    Now I've just got to list all my other textbooks, and I might finally see some space on my shelves... :D

    Ha ive put all my textbooks from uni on at 99p but having no luck at all. Probably because they weigh a ton so obviously postage is pretty expensive.

    Amazon is your best bet for books, i found a few of my GCSE textbooks when I visited home, found out 2 of them at their lowest price on amazon were still £12 each! I thought they were worthless as i took my GCSE's in 2005!!

    I'm assuming the people who use wallpaper to wrap parcels use it 'inside out' as it were so you write on the side that you paste.

    Best to make sure any you pick up at car boot sales that aren't sealed aren't prepasted, as I dread to think what the postman would think if it's raining when he delivers!

    :D

    I sold a pair of eyelash curlers - yep, eylash curlers!! They came free in a set of something or other and I sold them for £5.50 plus 99p postage.

    Bonkers :)
