    Old/Vintage knitting & sewing patterns from before 1975 - I had a collection from when I worked in a charity shop in the 90's - the unsold portion I hasten to add! Sold one today for £2.19, another for 99p - every little helps!

    My late mum had loads of knitting patterns, knitting needles and I threw them all out a few years ago when we cleared the house, that was before I had discovered Ebay for selling things. I could have made a small fortune as mum liked to collect things :D
  • I am also loving this thread. The tip I got most out of was listing always on a Thursday to end 10 days later on the Sunday, oh and the scheduling - thanks to those posters x

    And with the very deepest honour to this notice, I have ripped down a 99p listing for an interesting looking map with the sole intention of relisting it for a higher amount.
    I do love free listing weekends :)

    In our house, when things break, we just pretend they still work

    You know all those free sample sachets you get in magazines? I saved loads over the last 4-5 months and put them on eBay and sold then for £10.50!

    Yes, it was a mixed lot, comprising of shampoo, make-up, perfume samples and skincare. I didn't buy all the mags, some were mags my mum had read and passed on. Quite honestly, I hate the sample sachets, as I can never open them, so usually throw them away anyway!

    I have done that before and sold them, think I did batches of 10 and got about £2-£3.
