I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good place to get rid of books - I've got some old study texts / handbooks / guides from last year and I'm sure I heard somewhere that you can get decent money for that kind of thing?

Hi. Have you tried Amazon Trade-In? You get paid in Amazon Gift Card but its so easy to do. And because they are from last year then you might be suprised at how much they offer you for them. All you do is type in the barcode and if its on their list just add it to your trade-in account. Really easy to do. And they pay your postage cost.

OMG!!! :j I've just reached payout on Woohoo!!! :eek: :eek: :eek:

Just ordered a voucher - anyone know how long they take? can't find any info on the site.

Fantastic :T:T:T:T

I'm currently on 71 gold stars and I'm wanting to cash out so I can ditch the site. :rotfl: I think it's a waste of time for me doing it (would get more out of swagTV) but I've made a 'mini rule' with myself to at least cash out once from each site - if it's not been worth the time then leave....but get a payout first.

Greetings from sunny Thailand.

I have decided to dip my toe into the muddy waters of antique dealing.

I live in Pattaya in the eatern seaboard of Thailand and over the past few months have been attending auctions at the two auction houses in town to see if I can furnish my house cheaply and also pick up anything that is underpriced and I can sell on quickly.

It's alll been a bit hit and miss so far. I've made some money on a few lots and lost money on other things I've bought couldn't sell and had to put back in the auction.

One thing I hadn't touched till this month is antiques. A few porcelein items on sale at each auction have been going for what seems like good money.

Anyway in the last week I bought a set of car tyres on Sunday 15th) for 55 baht (about) a pound and sold them on Monday for 800 baht via one of the local expat message boards.

I used the money to purchase a Nineteenth century Ming dynasty soup bowl for B700 then took it to the other better attended auction on the other side of town and it sold for 2100 baht on Saturday.

I used that money to buy a 19th century Chinese teaset and a set of bowls as well as a ming dynasty ornament via private treaty from the first auction house.

Yesterday I made the 90 mile journey into Bangkok to place them in the monthly antiques-only auction attended by most of the dealers with reserves totalling over 12,000 baht.

I will report on this thread how much I got for them after the auction (Feb 4)

Just had my payslip with the rarely seen creature Overtime on it. Its about £60.00 after stoppages! Yesterday I was featured in a blog by Sue Bulmer, so you never know, I may get some Handmade in Keswick sales from it.
(If anyone's interested in the blog, PM me and I'll send you the link)

Well one of the superpoints paypal redemptions came through: $5 which today worked out as £3.12 . So I can add that to my total. Just waiting on one now (and 3 amazon vouchers from sw@gbucks).

vixen1500

Tescos £5.73
Boots £6 off in vouchers
Also remembered I have already used 2 £5 off No. 7 vouchers this month -
so my total is starting to climb at last. :j

might even work out ebay sales today if I have time

ps Anyone know how long swagbucks giftcards take to process?

A good couple of days for me, just had £12.50 in superpoints paypal redemption arrive, already got another $5 on the way as well. Plus finally got my Orange mobile bill sorted out, after a few issues which has seen a nice £10 credit added to my account, so including that as well. Up to £99.20 as we stand with a week to go, will get close but not sure I'll quite make it, who knows.

Wow I have reached my target with a week to go and still have a couple of vouchers pending from M*cain & S B*cks. Well pleased with myself.
Hope you all have a good day.
