    Has anyone ever tried buying books for cheap and then reselling? The Book People have a sale on at the moment and I can make a profit on some of the books on ebay (provided it sells of course...).

    Has anyone tried this before? I'm slightly hesitant to do it as
    a) Other people may have the same idea and this would bring the average selling price down
    b) It involves spending £25 (to get free delivery, otherwise its £3.95) at least

  • Nothing for me the past few days but I'm hoping I can make up for it at weekend.



    Still, I'm £12.88 better off for attempting this challenge and only 4 days in to July!

    Posted my 6 ebay items today so after fees and postage I have £29.65 :D One more still to pay so will add that once it is posted.

    My other ebay items not attracting much attention :( Will just relist again if nothing sells :p

    Have to go to the bank tomorrow and cash my coppers in, i know this isnt strictly extra money made but I am adding them anyway as I have been adding money found in the house, cars and road kill and it will be going in the "money made" pot :D

    Bank interest, a few ebay sales and a £7 till spit used at MrTs brings my total to £40.93 so on target (just LOL)

    Just took advantage of the bonus £25 at William Hill Bingo when you deposit £10. Total winnings are £40.66, so thats a profit of £30.66!! Plus I used topcashback so hopefully I should get £20.20 from that too (assuming I did it right!).

    Definitely a good start to the month. Going to get on with ebaying tomorrow :)

    :hello: everyone, all newbies too.

    Will add anyone tomorrow.

    Just popped on to say, those who have been following this thread for a while and remember Mrs 3Dogs and Mr 3 Dogs, who were on this thread as they were going on the Orient Express and needed to get all the items for the trip, suit, shoes, dress, etc. Well they did it thanks to this challenge and had a fab time.

    I am sorry to say Mr 3Dogs died yesterday after a short battle with Cancer.

    I would like to toast the memory of Mr 3Dogs :beer: and to say I would not have met such a wonderful man, and such an :A Mrs 3Dogs, if it had not been for this thread.

    RIP Mr 3Dogs :beer::A

    :( Oh no.

    I remember well - so pleased though that they had such a lovely time and Mrs 3Dogs will have such lovely memories of that special trip.

    RIP Mr 3Dogs, and our thoughts are with you Mrs 3 Dogs :A
