    What kind of stuff are you selling on ebay, Tilly? I find that some things get lots of watchers and others don't sell at all. I've had success with unused mobile phones (unwanted upgrades) and most recently a digital radio, but children's clothes (which I am inundated with!) don't seem so easy to sell. My kitchen is bursting at the seams though, so maybe selling old kitchen things on ebay would work - not sure anyone would want any of it though!!

    Hi CA, pasta rollers, veg shredders, coffee makers, water filters, old sat nav, bread maker

    I do eb@y periodically but this time the interest is unbelievable, so I am very happy at the moment.

    I had absolutely no idea this stuff would sell.

    Hi Brizzle couldn't agree more. I put stuff on this time as a 'lets just try it' and they are selling. Amazing. Mr T was laughing at me on Sunday saying 'why are we wasting our time with this', oooohhhh who's laughing now :rotfl:

    Have a good day, Tilly x
