  • ^Ahh ok, thanks for letting me know.
    Might try ebay and then if they don't sell, take to the c/s.
  • Just got an email from Zapper saying all my items have been accepted and they're sending me a cheque for £11.47 :) I was a bit worried they wouldn't accept some of the CDs as some had small scratches on the cases, but that is fine apparently!
  • What sort of books are you selling to them?
    I've tried loads of titles and they never accept any of them!

    As Lisa Jane said, novels tend not to be accepted. It's more factual stuff like text books - the ones I got today were a book on Uganda and one on the Korean war.

    Zapper tends to accept a greater degree of books, including more fiction, but often at 30p a book.

    Me too - now awaiting a cheque for £13.90 :) I have another stack of books to send to them now, I was waiting to send it until I had payment for the first lot.

    Raine e day - can you post the link for the gammon? I have looked but can't find it

    End of day reductions. I usually manage to get a few bits around 5pm if I'm in town. Today I was good (trying to lose a few of the other type of pounds!) and left 10p gateaux and sandwiches.

    Making slow progress. Roll on car boot weather!

  • Well done on finding the gammon. Think I might look there in future

    Same here, I've not managed to get any accepted on Zapper or webuybooks. I'm on a Facebook sales page so might try them on there or wait for a car boot sale.

    On the plus side though I'm getting a Council Tax rebate next month so I'll add that to my total then.

    Keep up the good work everyone. :T

    Sponge1980 - what is the facebook page?
    In fact does anyone know of any good UK selling pages on facebook? I've never sold on there before. Might be worth a shot.

    Just added another £6.29 to my total from a few low value ebay sales.

    eta: Just checked Mysurvey.eu and found I had enough to order £3 paypal so adding that too!
  • Just used the quidco offer for the lovefilm 14 day trial for £18 cashback, it has tracked so we shall see, thought i would take a gamble! Also just checked my paypal funds which had a surpise £8 in which i shall add to my collection! im also using a savings account and having the money in there so that, hopefully, by dec 31st i have 2012 :)
    £0.00/£2014 saved!

    Sealed pot member :D

    2014 onwards and upwards!
