301k in debt and morbidly obese - things aren't great!

I haven't ebayed in a long time, but it used to be that you got charged a higher % final value fee if you listed at 99p or less compared to over £1 - it's how they made back not charging a listing fee. Is it all a flat rate now or do they still do this?

In the scheme of things, bearing in mind the value you are talking about, the listing fees are very low so I would load when right for you. Examine how do the auctions go for these - do you really want one to go for 99p :eek:

Good luck with the week ahead :beer:

Aside from waking the entire Bloater clan up at 4.15 cos I'd failed to switch off the alarm on my phone before I left the house at 4.10 and the resultant wrath I faced from that on my return, this hellish week couldn't have got off to a better start - an uneventful 4k (even Courier man drove by without any incident - which is a good thing seeing as my daughter's invited his to her birthday party next month) was followed with a pleasant shock on the scales (and I am well aware that after rehydration etc it will rise again blah) of my BMI being down to a still morbid but not as morbid 38.01 and the weight melted down to 22-04. The unrelenting vigilance is paying off - I have definitely found a system that works for me - having to tread on those scales every day is keeping me accountable even in the lean times when for two weeks I barely lost anything despite all the running, cos they are evened out by crazy times like this where I've gone down 7lb in a week. The main thing for me is not the numbers, its the downward trajectory, its keeping that momentum going.

Also it's looking like after all the bills have come out that there will be some more money left over for another snowball.

Great Mr B - you'll have 2 little boosts soon - dropping below 38, followed swiftly by dropping below 22 :T. Well done _party_

Have a good week! It may be challenging but what matters is the outcome - here is to that!

most expensive one so far in my collection is The Golden Dawn's (you won't have heard of them) "My Secret World" which sold a fortnight ago for £100 - not bad for a 7"single that cost me £2 25 years ago.

am now singing above track (well shouting the last bit). had a feeling you'd be a Sarah etc fan:D. i've got 11 onwards - plus case loads of other similar 7 inches and lps. recently bought a usb record player so i can keep them all and then sell them (bought that in may and done nothing yet lol;)).

Bloaters had a NSD and its Beans On Toast for dinner. The minute the kids go to bed I'll be into the boot of the car retrieving the 126 files I need to sort out ready for the executioner on Friday...

MrB! You're back. I hope you're feeling positive. You have inspired me to take up a fitness challenge. But I don't think I'll be able to compete with you on the running!

Dear Mr B

Remember not to flood the market with your vinyls, as it might be the same handful of collectors bidding on your stuff. I did this once with some rare graphic design magazines and found that I achieved higher prices drip feeding them over 6 months - although a bit more annoying. Hope your week from hell is as good as possible
