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.April 2008 - Epiphany - At least £28K owed to 5 CC's

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.0 -
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.0 -
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 xxxLife is too short not to love what you do.0

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:Everyday im shufflin':dance: Proud Padder ~ All Hail The Power of Pad0 -
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!!!Half of November Make £10 a Day Challenge: £51/ £1700

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.0

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!
