  • I'd love to sell stuff on e-bay but i find i am too attached to all my things :(
    I even thought about selling all my none henry VIII books as i wont read them again but its impossible.

    I may try again. I seriously need to declutter!!

    Does anyone know anywhere good to sell books?


    Hi, Ive recently listed several books on ebay as I got a kindle for Christmas. I have used Amazon and Greenmetropolis in the past, but I do find ebay is best as you specify the end date for the listing whereas the others are just left on there for 3 months or so. I tend to charity shop the odd book and have done that before and forgot I still had some of them listed on Amazon. Luckily, they didnt sell!

    All my books are in perfect condition, most of them have no spine bends what-so-ever. It would break my heart to charity shop them. lol, i'll list a few on the next free listing event and see what happens.

    I have a lot of CDs i'm going to check music magpie for. I haven't listened to any of them in at least 3 years. I listen to vinyl more lol.

    A very warm welcome, Sammy246 and Absinthe, it's lovely to have you with us. biggrin.gif Enjoy yourself saving. You'll find your number at the bottom of the list on post 4 of page 1. Please read through post 1 as it'll let you know exactly what to do with the challenge.
    *Please pop your numbers on your sigs, it helps so very much.

    Absinthe, whether it's 7p...70p...£7 or £70, it really doesn't matter, it's all savings and no one's laughing at you - truly!
    But the real shocker is that my DH has been issued with a speeding ticket for being just over the limit . He can opt for a driving improvement course instead of points but it will cost £75 plus travelling expenses :eek: I am NOT best pleased with him :mad: He does feel very guilty (it's his first in over 40 years of driving) so I can't berate him as much as I would like to :D

    Ahhh, such a rotten shame, little_sweetie, don't be too mad with him though, it happened to my DH a few years ago. I viewed it in the light that.......it's far better to get a ticket than knock someone down...or worse by going just a tad over the limit!! :)
    I'm enjoying this challenge but its annoying that I cant see what Iv got in there!!!:mad:

    Never mind, lisalollipop, that is the idea of it though. :) Re your number, always have a look at the bottom of your signature on a previous post and you'll see it. :D

    Hi Potters!



    The bad news is that I have just £7.25 in my current account until the end of the month which is a whole WEEK away:eek: I can't even draw it out as the minimum for the cashcard is £10 (do any of the banks shell out fivers these days?)

    Oh, well onward and upward!!

    Happy potting everyone!

    I don't know if you have an asda nearby but our local one has a cash machine that gives out fivers (handy at the end of the month:D)

  • hi,

    not much been potted as not been spending. i did find 1p on the bus though.


    i know wages cant be put into the pot BUT can "tips" given to me go in it? (i work occassionally in a local social club for big functions as bar staff, and we are not allowed drinks for ourselves but can put the money aside for end of shift.)
    due to spilling coffee :coffee: on my keyboard it works when it wants to :rotfl:
