Things You Never Thought You Could Sell

Princess_Jane

I've just made £188 selling off the weirdest of stuff - empty perfume bottles, old trainers, broken lava lamp, a mannequin and such like.

I've knocked a month off my DF date thanks to ebay.

The key is to take good pix and be completely honest in your descriptions.

i bought a box of subetto (sorry about the spelling!) some teams and the cloth in a big ish box at a car boot knocked tham down to £10 a year later my step son was bored of it was going to chuck it but instead shoved it on e bay. didn;t check it till the last day and it was £120 with 13 questions about posting abroad. finally sold for £180!! with postage on top. i was laughing for weeks. lol
also sold my daughters old croc shoes bought for £19.50 last year worn all day everyday completly knackered and listing said that and they sold for £11.79 so but that towards a new pair didn't cost me much at all!!

I've just dug out 7 old tax discs and placed them on E-Bay. Currently got 20 items listed (even sea shells). Will let you know how I get on.

How did you all get on with your sales. I still haven't managed to list anything (too busy researching how to on here!) but I have some great ideas now. Hopefully you'll see a post from me with some results soon.

I've listed some newspaper DVDs now after reading this - we'll see how they go

I sold some wooden beads once which were from cut up beaded car seats. A pair cut up made about £45 sold in packs of beads

Being totally inspired by this whole thread I just listed on eBay

My old car tax disks x3 disks - I only got a couple of quid for them...
Two bottles of perfume I didnt actually say they were empty - I got £5
Some Teabags and - £4!!
A pack of four candles £4.40

Lol - I will let you know how it goes.

On Amazon I put around 16 books three sold

I think its not worth doing the tax disks until they are around 5 years old or older...emtpy perfume bottles are worth it as well.

Amazon is great but it takes a very long time to sell anything. I was very surprised the three sold so quickly.

Gold old PG tips...it seams people that live abroad that used to live here miss them very much so they sell quite well on ebay.
