I never thought anyone would buy an old gameboy advance, but they do. Found it in a cupboard, no charger or case and just one game. Dont fetch much but better than just throwing it.

after reading this thread im going to give it ago, im sure i have loads of stuff i could sell, im the kind of person who saves crap lol.

do you have to pay to put an item up for sale?

It's free to list at the moment if the starting price is under 99p (I think) but you still pay a final value fee if the item does sell.

Just wanted to confirm that people really will buy anything :-)
I just sold a load of John Lewis vouchers I got years ago as a wedding present, and they went for more or less their face value. £50 of vouchers went for £49. Really don't get why anybody would do this, but the max bid came within minutes of me listing them They will be saving the postage as I included that free, but just amazed people would do this to save a quid from buying from JL themselves.

It is strange, but I remember reading a discussion where it was suggested people who can't get to a store, but would like to give the vouchers as a gift, use eBay to buy them. You may find your buyer lives in the middle of nowhere!

Yep, makes sense, except for the fact you can buy them from johnlewis.com for their face value. I had some Comet vouchers too, but these appear to be worth very little. I guess the hassle and waiting for second-hand vouchers must be worth the £1 saved for some people.

£50 of JL vouchers went for £49, which is only £1 less than from the JL website. But £500 of Comet vouchers gets no bids at £300! Wierd.
