Things You Never Thought You Could Sell

That reminds me Annie, I have a bag in the wardrobe...will dig them out and put them on.

I had a TV tuner thing (not very technical descprition!!) which I bought from Dell when I got my PC. Paid £50 but then realised that they had advised me wrong. Rang them and they said we will refund it and you can keep it. OH told me to put on Ebay and I got £55 for it!! Was quite impressed

I like the idea of selling old pairs of glasses - it is so frustrating to have to spend so much on new ones. Has anyone any ideas about how to work out the prescription? I have some old pairs of (strong!) glasses, but my prescription has changed and I don't know how to find it out. Great idea!

We have been selling the penguin comforter toys that we have been getting free with our Comfort fabric conditioner. Been selling for between 99p and £6.00!! Not bad for something we got for nothing!:beer:

This thread is a great idea!!!

My husband is VW freak and goes to scrap yards and gets all different little bits for VW's and sells them on E BAY for about 10 - 15x what he's paid for them at the scrap yard. A lot of overseas bidders can't get hold of a lot of car parts so are desperate to get hold of things....... and my OH has made a lot of money from doing this.

Also (shouldn't really say this and I'm really ashamed of him) but he thinks if something from a scrap yard will fit in his pocket then he doesn't have to pay for it and therefore makes even more of a profit. Yes, I know its technically stealing and I shout at him but it make no difference. (please don't be mad with us!!!!!!!!!!!)

I am a great fan of e-bay too, but isn't there a tax liability if you buy to sell? Although if he is nicking the small pieces I don't suppose your hubby will worry about the tax man either! I have never sold anything on e-bay so I'm not sure about it, and I don't think it applies if you sell your own surplus stuff?

People have been selling the £5 makeup / £3 haircare Boots vouchers, so I just listed mine. I think I'll try selling my £10 Pigsback voucher when it arrives too.

SUPER THREAD! I sold a drinks bar that i had specially made for my summerhouse. By selling a few extra's such as glasses and bar towels with it ,I made a profit of £90! Well pleased.:beer:
I too have sold cd's, video's and mags, after all, what is one person's rubbish is another's treasure, and so may it always be that way:T

I once won a Stuart Little teddy in a teddy machine and got £16 for it on ebay.
Thought that was a nice little profit so went back and won myself an ET teddy in one which then went for £21.

Not bad for a £2 spend!

I wanted to sell my Eternal Beau dinner set (soooo 80's lol!) so I checked ebay & to my suprise the cutlery sets were being battled for. Put mine on - week later £56!!! That bought me the basis ofthe new dinner set I had my eye on!!
Also sold a signed Howard Jones DVD that I won (was actually after concert tickets!) for £9.50.
Got plus size clothes on at the moment - 2 bids & tons of watchers.
My friend has given me vintage stockings (new!) & womans magazines from the 1950's to sell. Not sure how I will do but will give it a go!!

I love selling on ebay!!! :rotfl:
