    Last year I sold 3 Epson printer ink cartridges for a total of £60. Thing is, the expiry date stamped on the boxes was 2002 !

    Also 4 Smurf figures free from McDonalds happy meals went for £36 ! I had absolutely no idea that there was such a big fan club for the little blue critters !

    I don't know if this "counts" as an unexpected sale, but I've bought a couple of nail polish sets of 3 from QVC telly shopping channel. I've sold one from each set, colours I didn't like, and made enough to cover the price of each set, so I've had a total of 4 nail polishes free. At retail price that's £44. They were "exclusive colours" available only through QVC, and both went to overseas buyers.

    I sold the badge I was given by the National Blood Transfusion Service for 10 donations. I have just received my 25 badge, so that will be going up for auction too. Have no idea what else to do with it, so better to be in someone's badge collection than in the bin!
  • LittleMax, I've just got my 25 donations badge and was thinking the same thing!

    Something I've found out while getting my listings ready for this weekend.
    I've used the schedule listing like someone recommended ( in case you didn't see that message, you can get your listings ready and schedule them to start up to 21 days later which costs 6p, but if you start them before that date you don't pay. Saves you rushing round at the last minute when you find out it's free listing).
    Anyway I happened to put mine to start on Sunday 24th March and there was no listing fee, just the 6p schedule fee, so I guess it's going to be free listing 23rd and 24th March.
