    Well I'm shocked. Right when I started ebaying I listed 7 tampons for various flows. They didn't sell so I kept relisting them. Anyway, I thought that I'd put them on one more time and if they didn't sell, they'd be going in the bin. Before I listed them I found a well old tampax holder (the one for the long cardboard ones like my mum used to use) so I thought I'd stick that on the listing to, so it was 7 tampax and a tampax holder. Guess what! They've only gone and sold. Haha :)

    I suppose if you can't really get the holders much anymore, then paying a few pounds for one is a great find for someone who wants one.

    Well a quick update on the tat I'm selling, 5 and 7 watchers on the perfume bottle and a bid of 99p on one. Things with bids: a Hello Kitty necklace, a blind from Ikea, a cute jewellery box and loads of watchers on other stuff which will hopefully make some pennies. Sold a laptop rucksack over the weekend which I go about 7 years ago for 17 quid weee!

    :eek:

    Just :eek: at this thread. :rotfl:

    We've got an enforced house move coming up and I'm a hoarder so you imagine how much stuff I have to sort out. :o

    This thread has given me the incentive to look at eBay in a new light. :D

    I don't expect there will be one this weekend but lets hope for one the weekend after.

    This week, my most odd sales are:
    Broken ferrari watch (broken strap and face thing)
    2 ugly velvet bow ties
    Some candles I bundled together as a job lot - just ones I had lying around
    2 lots of fabric
    A halogen heater (in summer!!! What?!)
    An old sewing machine which is sooo heavy I can hardly lift it

    Thats it for now. I'm hoping there will be some more quirky ones to add to the list

    How much did you sell your tampons for?! It's mad what people buy...

    Usually I list them for 99p but because it was a free listing weekend I had to up the price so as not to eat into my 100 free 99p ones. So I started them at £1.05 and the bidding ends in about an hour.

    I seriously need to get my butt in gear and have an ebay frenzy:rotfl:

    desperate need of some funds and Ive got loads and loads of stuff to sell. So my question is, what is the best day to start a listing on and the best times???

    Just want to get some other opinions on this. thanks
