    I just listed my bridesmaid dress from Monsoon on eBay, not even a watcher yet at £25 (worth £160 and still very in fashion!) I thought Monsoon stuff would go in a flash but it seems I missed the prom season.

    I recently sold two empty 'L'occitane' gift boxes - basically the cardboard boxes that the nice bits and pieces came in (as presents from a generous relative). I got about a fiver each!

    So...I bought some Jasper Conran heels last year for about a tenner in Debenhams, never really wear them because one shoe is a size 6 and the other is a size 7!!! I was such an impulse buyer..

    Anyway on eBay they went and they now have a 2.99 bid on them haha people really do buy weird stuff (including myself!) xxx

    After reading this forum from start to finish (yes it took all weekend) I decided to list some knackered old shoes. Trouble is I now have some weirdo asking for popsocks, dirty knockers and wanting to be my slave!

    Things are not that bad yet! Shoes have a few bids though.

    Take the Slave on, then send them round to mine, ive got a oven that needs cleaning!! Thanks

    Well I will be deffo putting on a truck load of bra's then once this round of auctions have finished!


    I just had two Panache Superbras on for a starting bid of £5 - they were brand new in the packets and one sold for £5 and the other didn't sell - I was gutted as they cost me £25 each from Bravissimo.

    I guess at the end of the day, if it's a common size it will attract more bidders and if not it will go for peanuts like mine :(
    I let my mind wander and it never came back!

    I've found branded baby stuff and toys from Fisher Price etc sell fairly well but not much else.

    Personally I'd rather send unbranded clothes to the charity shop, where they might make a few pounds on them..... I don't think they're worth the trouble of ebaying.

    I was really disappointed when a spare bridesmaid dress from Monsoon went for the £9.99 starting price. It was gorgeous - not very bridesmaidy - and BNWT, RRP c£70. The annoying thing was that it had about 13 watchers. Can't remember when it ended though, maybe it was a Saturday night and all the watchers were out clubbing!
