  • before throwing anything away i always look on Ebay to see if someones listed a similar item and if theres a demand for it .
    Also ive found that if you have a stall at a council run car boot that attracts a lot of people you can sell just about anything . I sold an old carpet i found in my loft when i moved , i was going to throw it away .Just shows you that theres a potential for money to be made in your junk

    Ive just had a chat with my cousin ref this thread, and he's recently sold a 50p coin (the one with a pic of a dolphin on the reverse) to a guy in America for £2

    Now thats what I call inflation!

    Hi just wondering if ebay still did free listing days we have loads of stuff like old mags but not sure if it would sell and at risk of listing each item at 10p or 25p a go could end up losing money rather than making it.

    Just to say I was told by the fitter installing my new shower room to put the champagne coloured 12 year old sink and toilet in the local paper (free add if under £50) instead of the skip and was surprised to find somebody wanted them! On the same tack I saw someone selling a 2nd hand loo seat at a car boot sale on Sunday, yuk.

    If you ever saw a lady buying a used loo seat from a boot sale, it was probably my mum. Due to the nature of my parents' business, they always had to buy replacement loo seats. They always made me carry them though!!!
