    I ploughed on with DY and logged in to find a crown :D was very pleased so I'm £3/£20 now.

    Only 70pence until my OnePoll payout.......its only taken about five years! Seriously can't wait to payout and never return!

    Feeling very impatient. I'm waiting for an exciting parcel. I'm waiting for Amazon vouchers from various places and I'm waiting for a cheque to arrive. Nothing has arrived so I feel the money shuffle/present buying/crafting has been placed on hold untill all of those things appear.

    I don't like it when things don't feel in order! My spreadsheet is missing me :D

    :eek::eek::eek: Scandalous! Only debit cards or cash here :( Same with Costco and I spend a fortune there :(

    OK folks send some bidders my way - 34 items ending tonight!
  • Had quite a bit ending today, 5 sold £17 but item sold were struggling to be worth 99p and sold one for £10.50.... Have I missed something... are they secretly of value.. Bonkers

    Relisted back up to max!

    Good luck with yours, have you sold much?

    I dunno - I found the same - they missed the bargains and bid up on random stuff that I was going to put in the charity bag!

    Back of envelope calcs (sale price + postage) x 0.66 (approx a third of the value of each item goes for real postage, ebay fees, paypal and packaging) suggests a profit of £160 :D Very pleased.

    That was all my good stuff though, got about 5 more ending this week then the other ~35 ending next week. Not hoping for too much from that , certainly not as much profit as tonight's.

    Now just got to post it all :eek:
  • Thats awesome. Im seriously impressed!!!!

    Nice one :T
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Thank you kindly. It is a big stash of stuff that I have been hoarding for the majority of the year so not like I can do it regularly but much better than just getting rid of it :D

    No MFW news today, just hope some of my vouchers/cheques arrive so I can start shuffling :D

    That's a cracking series of eBay sales, the MFW board should get a fees discount for the amount of stuff we churn :D

    Glad to hear that some of your vouchers are turning up, patience is all well and good, but waiting can be boring!

    Will you be using them for personal spends, or Christmas gifts and the like?
