I am so pleased I found this thread but also KICKING myself as when I went to my parents house last week I decided to de-clutter my old bedroom and threw out around 10 old perfume bottles, expensive ones to !!!
This week I have made £11 selling two ancient mobiles to fonebank, could of made another £3 if i had gone through topcashback but didnt realise until to late.
I have also used music magpie to sell some CD/DVD's and most of them sold for 30p apart from a random DVD game of noel edmonds deal or no deal and a classical violin CD that was nearly £3. Very odd ! I guess its the things that are worth the least to you sometimes have a high value to somebody else !!!
So in total I have made around £200 -
Sold our cross trainer....
Husband said he's be happy to get £50 for it, just to see the back of it. It went for £311!
Chap came down with a van from Cardiff to collect. It was all very tense when we weren't sure if it would go in, but it did.
Everyone's a winner! Definately recommend selling sports / workout equipment in the New Year!
Now, next job is an old car stereo....if can find where my husband has left it.0 -

i placed a sainsburys voucher book on ebay and boy they do take a hard line with the T&C's. I received a message from the "Sainsburys police" which was quite threatening in nature and signs off with the following comment.
"Please note that we share information gathered from our e-bay account with e-bay, Nectar and law enforcement agencies."
What lovely people they are. Doubt I'll shop there again! lol0 -

i sold some more stuff on ebay.
I have a hoard of tattoo magazines and have been selling them in batches on and off for ages. i finally put the last 11 on as a joblot. got £2.99 for em.
not a whole lot, but it's got them out of my airing cupboard and has put a little bit extra in the bank's pocket!
also sold some criminal damage skinny jeans for £6.
I'm gonna have a good sort out of my clothes this week because I know I've got some good alternative brands...I just can't remember where they are....(shows how much I wear them doesn't it?!)
Also sold a book on fairgrounds for my friend that went for over £20, so I've taken a about £1.50 on top of charges for that. Every little helps!
Had quite a few things that didn't sell this time; makes me wonder if putting them on at a higher price for free listing weekend puts people off..
I'll try putting some of them on again at 99p and seeing what happens:)
I have started to customise My Little Ponies; my next mission is to make one, not get attached, then sell it lol! Though maybe not on ebay...

Particularly the Peanut Butter ones which seem to be out of stock everywhere so people are buying them on Ebay!!Half of November Make £10 a Day Challenge: £51/ £1700
