New Challenge - Double Your Money!

Longships

Looks like I will have to get into eBay again as much as I hate it. Something I bought at auction last month for £20 (+fees) I just sold on eBay for over £46 after I could not sell it at an antiques fair for £35.

Even after eBay's enormous selling fees I have near enough doubled my money on that.

Fairy where are you?!

I'm coming up with a new idea for this challenge, I want to make money from free money! £5 landed in my account today from getjam so with this free money I want to make more. Taking the fashion route I think, no matter what state the country is in financially people always seem to continue buying fashion. I bought some faith black suede peep toe stilettos from a car boot for £2. They are in excellent condition and timeless so I think I could get a bit for them. It will involve a bit of effort on my behalf sourcing the items but I think it could pay off...

Ok so here i am back in the land of MSE and resurrecting threads apparently i'm not allowed to go quiet hahahahaha

Anyway, i just happened to be cruising a charity shop the other day and bought a few bits and bobs to sell on, to craftify and generally try to make some dough out of

I'm having a go at buying 'collectables' etc atm even though i have no idea about this whatsoever but sure its kinda fun trying to learn

So.......purchased items:

Silver cake basket - has some sort of hallmark/makers stamp but no idea what it means paid £4

2 x telephone money boxes - paid £2 each

Mohair wool x 10 balls - paid £5

So by my calculations that means i spent £13 and target is £26!

Hope you all come back to join me again xxx

How much have you invested into Zopa fairy? That's seems like a pretty good interest rate to me! Will have to read up on it again and actually deposit some dosh in there!
