Where is the cheapest place to buy new envelopes i read on MSE somewhere never to buy them from the post office itself as they are a rip off. Where else is good to buy them from?

If you're just buying a few to start off with try http://www.poundland.co.uk/ if you have one locally.

If you are brave enough to buy in bulk, there are often multibuy offers from Viking Direct or you could buy a selection from eBay sellers.

hi everyone,
i get mine from poundland, but keep an eye on viking for their deals, mind you as i still have not sold a single book since 25th feb it's a wonder i can remember:D, so for the may challenge i have set one that even i should be able to meet:rotfl:

cheers:beer:

Hmm, sold a childrens book about 5 weeks ago. The book was sold on Amazon as from the 'junior series' and was exactly the book I sold, nothing different to that shown by Amazon. Just got 4 on my feedback as buyer says I never told them it was a book aimed at young people!

and well words fail me with the feedback they leave

At least it was a 4, which is still positive! I've had 3's before with positive comments - Now that's a reason to be upset!

Well its typical BH weather here - cold and wet! Maybe its sunny elsewhere as no one is buying this weekend

Did sell a CD for £10 tho that had a buyer waiting - not had one of those for aaaages so that cheered me up. I got it for £1 from a charity shop for myself as I used to have the tape of it but couldn't resist looking to see how much it was worth.... then of course couldn't resist selling it..... :j well be rude not to....

How's everyone else doing?

I love wet weekends and bank holidays! I hate for wishing for rain, I kid myself that I want the rain for my veggie garden but in truth it's to keep people (and their money) at home so they get itchy mouse fingers.

I've been feeling a little guilty recently because there has been much gloom on the thread but I've managed a few good sales of £30+ and a pensioner of over 4 years sold today but I didn't want to brag :whistle:

3 sold for me today as well, all newly listed though, no pensioners.

Brag away :beer: well done. Not had many sales in the last couple of weeks but those that have gone have been for reasonable prices including the Gaelic language one I thought I'd probably never sell :j
