    I've lised 4 BNWT clothing items, will let you know how they go, I've got no feedback as a seller so hope this doesn't affect my listings.

    Hmm, Got a pile of Kerrangs, early issues, not 1 but maybe from 20 or so in the garage, right off to take a look at e-bay!

    I sold a piece of real toursit tat once, I even advertised it as "The Worlds Worst Ornament", it was a plastic plate with a Pekingese dog under a plastic over. I have photo of it somewhere, I won the price off my Father in Law too as he swore I couldn't sell it so doubled my money.

    Last year, as I know I was approaching my end of contract date, I put my old white iPhone on eBay. It sold for £170, which I used to by my new iPhone 4, which only cost £100. £70 profit!

    I have always sold my old mobiles on eBay and make £100+ each time. Dont be tempted with Mazuma Mobile, etc, you can make more by going straight to eBay.

    But of all the buying i have done on ebay, the worst I had was a mobile I bought for my son. Had a damaged button, and was poorly packaged and overcharged for p&p.

    In the end, paypal wouldn't help. The dmage cost me 25 to fix, but paypa said I had to pay for a non refundable report (cost 25 quid) before they would get involved.

    I don't mind paying for a report, if they would charge the seller for it afterwards as I would have been out of pocket really.

    On the bra front I sold 2 baby doll bras (bras with lacy bit underneath like a little dress) for a couple of quid each, normally would have put them in the jumble. Have a bra where the underwire has come through so gonna try that...you know someone will buy it because it's useless lol xxx

    Just been on holiday and DD and I collected quite a few pieces of pretty glass off the beach. I have no intention of listing them as they are a souvenir, however as a long term subscriber to this thread I did think "I wonder if these go on eBay?".

    Well yes of course they do! Seem to go for about £3.50 for 10 pieces (unless you're a witch in which case you can sell them as mermaid's tears amulets for £5 each!!)

    This reminded me of a white witch selling spells on ebay at £4.99 to £24.99 a pop.... you didnt get anything physical for your cash , she just did you a spell and apprently it could take upto 3 months to take effect :rotfl:
    It might even of been on this thread i saw it with a link....she'd sold a fair few aswell :eek:

    It was on this thread that the witches spells were. It was only yesterday that I got around to clearing them out of my watched list!!!

  • It's my 2nd weekend of ebaying - thanks so much to the posters on this thread for motivating me and giving me inspiration!

    I have just this minute sold a shower cap for.....£17.22 :j I was going to bin it! Unbelieveable!

    On my first weekend I made £140 profit from stuff i would have otherwise put in the loft forever or given away. Really needed the money, I'm so happy!

    I have 415 items for sale on ebay atm. I'm really hoping to make a good profit to add to my house deposit savings. Fingers crossed. Good luck everyone.

    415 items!!!:eek: wow thats amazing.

    well I have only been really getting into selling in the last two weeks and I made £115 roughly but had to use that to bail out my bank account (long story, not going there!)

    am very disappointed as I have 3 items finishing tonight all bnwt and only 1 watcher on all of them and no bids:(

    I thought people would jump at bnwt stuff, obviously not. can anyone advise me on how to get round this? 2 of the tops are worth over £100 each:eek: and I really dont wanna take them to a charity shop!

    thanks
