    I don't want to start a new thread, but was hoping you may help me with selling some items as I've not had much luck.

    I have
    - A 17" CRT computer monitor. Wanting to sell for £10
    - About 6 old Windows NT/Windows 2000 books, will sell all for £10 (cost over £150 but got them free)
    - 1 Electronic engineering book - will sell for £5 (cost £25)
    - 1 Linux Hardware/pc book - will sell for £5 (cost £40 - got free)

    I've tried selling them on https://www.adtrader.co.uk which also print your advert in their paper too. I've tried twice but with no luck.

    I think they should be easy to sell, as they are great prices, just want to get rid of them and made a little money.

    Any ideas? I was thinking of Ebay, and hoping someone in my area will look but not sure.

    Thanks!

    Oh, and maybe a NSD, however I think I may need to get some screenwash for my car.

    Took lunch to work, paid an ebay cheque into the bank, mmm struggling here! Had a quiet day, was a bit non MSE and broke into a £5 note to buy a coffee (50p at the swimming baths), when I had planned NSD - got a £2 coin in the change which has to go in the pot - so I suppose that serves me right!

    Did my QuidCo searches.

    Bought 6 x Soya milks from Tesco whilst I had the car which has saved me about £2.46 as it's cheaper than what I normally buy in Sainsburys.

    Posted and EBAY sale.

    Have not had TV on tonight to save some electric.

    Turned gas c/h off for a while earlier when I popped out with BF.
