Things You Never Thought You Could Sell

I sold an empty Tiffany's box for £25 this week....I wonder what will be in it when it is given at Christmas!

I need to get into this! I read that old tax discs sell. I've got some in glove box. I need an ebay account and then I'll start sorting stuff. Bring it on.

My husband and I moved into our first home recently and so we have been skint. We are both pack rats and I have been making a real effort to sell things we don't need, so we can eat mostly!! I have sold all sorts of bits and bobs of craft stuff I didn't need anymore (and that I didn't think anyone would want!). I have also sold unused make up, tights in the packets, and false nails. But the most impressive things have been a box of toilet roll tubes (on the suggestion of this website) and on Facebook, all our used moving boxes. Saved us a trip to the skip and paid for that week's food bill...

I sold an empty iPhone box for about £12 on Ebay if I remember right.

I bought an autobiography on an actress who'd recently passed away from Waterstones online. It cost around £30 and took a month to arrive from the US. Once I read it, I listed it on eBay (as I always do with books) and it ended up selling for £110 plus postage! It was a great read too, so win win!

Other little bits included a bundle of MegaBlocks sold for my mum for around £25.
A bread bin that didn't sell the first time, but when relisted, it sold for £30.
A bag I'd bought from H&M when I was in my skint teens and changed my mind about shortly afterwards, sold for more than the price I paid. 
Arabic Monopoly I bought for £1 at a carboot sold for £10.

Had a really old caravan that we had used as a workshop and thought we would have to pay someone to take it away. Put new tyres on and started it at 99p on eBay and it sold for £175.

Probably the oddest thing I have sold was 11 odd socks.

I sold an old copper water tank for £85 about 5 yrs ago... not unusual I hear you say... but the Dr who bought it then shipped it to Kenya for his Mum. I love to see this on my timeline each year.

I once bought a knitting pattern in a job lot, It was a bit raggedy round the edges but it was for a Muffin the Mule toy. I paid less than 5p for the pattern but sold it for the grand total of £37 after a bidding war broke out. I even had one prospective buyer offer me £50 for it but the bidding had already started! No, that particular bidder didn't win the pattern.
