Hi every one. I spent all day yesterday listing on Ebay - I don't know how you lot do it! I gave up after 4 items :rotfl:
2 of my items got messages asking for a buy it now price. Do you recommend replying with a price or saying that you will let auction run its course? Thanks

I'd certainly not give a price. If you have a price in mind, ask them to make you an offer and then if it's a price you are willing to let it go for, then sell it. I don't tend to accept offers unless I'm really sure it's worth my while. For example, I had a bag listed at 0.99p, got offered £8 at the start of the listing, said no as I had a few watchers and it sold for £14. But then it might have got no bids, so is a gamble really.

I'm in a foul mood so won't stop by for long.
Gas bill - £117
Electricity bill - £133
for ONE MONTH!!!! (divided by two people but I was away for half December!)

After 8 mints eaten by housemates dogs who apparently haven't been in my room all day, pull the other one.
Sister trying to get me to take a days holiday (costs me £134) to see a baby that's not even been born yet. Oh plus the petrol (so another £50).
CK fabric STILL not arrived!
I'm going to go and put up some window insulation whilst I'm feeling stroppy and hopefully come back a bit cheerier.

Thanks recurrent-ostrich . I guess there is no way of knowing. Think I will wait for a bit. Both have lots of watchers and there is one bid (tho its low). I put items on for a week so plenty of time

Gah, this ain't going well. Spent £320 on a snowboard, and then went out chasing a girl who revealed she had a boyfriend right at the end of the night. Misery continues...

And you'll be chasing me all year only for me to beat you to the finish line... :rotfl:

Hi everyone, I have a question. I posted some items on fleabay for sale yesterday. I have three beechwood safetygates to sell and I'm selling them over two lots (a pair for £15 and a single for £5). I just got a message offering £30 for all three and to be collected over the weekend. What should I do, wait or go with the offer? There was a big Fleabay notice saying that I shouldn't reply to offers out of Fleabay. Not sure what to do. Any advice gratefully received ( I'm a bit of an Ebay novice!)
thanks.xx

Chasing you all year? At the rate some people are going it'll be debt free by Easter! That definitely isn't a bad thing though!

I was also thinking this!!! Also thinking instead of shouting "wait up" to everyone il say "try and keep up" as i storm off in the lead Definatly need to keep checking in on this thread and make sure i dont fall behind. Debts have to go before i try to save anything!!
