    £13 here today. all from Facebook, including a big bag of old books for a tenner, lots of which were ones I picked up free from someone at the end of a carboot a few years ago who was going to bin whatever she had left. Read lots of them, as it was when I was pregnant with DS1 and had the time to read books which had more words than pictures :D
    Half of November Make £10 a Day Challenge: £51/ £170
  • sold 1 item on eB*y will update once received payment and its been posted x
    200 weeks £25,000.00 / £700
  • 19.99 TO ADD.
    Ive also turned a £2 ebay sale into a £10 one :D
    i noticed one of my buyers had bid on 2 of my items, very similar items. I have more of these not listed so emailed the buyer asking if the would be interested and i would do them a joblot B.I.N.
    The said they would be interested so the sale has gone through, just waiting on payment :)

    some more items ending later and bids are slowly trickling in :T

    Im not sure if its just me but i tend try my luck and list at higher prices when its free listing, this is good moneymaking wise, but no where near as exciting as listing something for 99p and having lots of bidders battling it out in the last few seconds of an auction !

    I've managed to pull a muscle in my neck a couple of days ago, so have been feeling a bit sorry for myself :( woke up this morning and its feeling a little looser so hopefully on the mend :) hope everyone else is fighting fit :T

    TheMoneySpider - I only post on free listing weekends and just put on what I want for it (researched of course!) and if just one person bids then I get what I want [grin] In the past, if no one bid I just kept relisting it each weekend. Nothing to lose! But now I am looking to get rid of things out of my home so I might relist but drop the price a little.

    Seems to be working well too - another £90.83 to add from yesterdays sales. Since Ive just exceeded my original goal Im going to push on to £450 (£15 a day).

    Just a handful of auctions left from the free listing week and Im not really expecting much from them, so I really really must get around to facebook selling today.

    Does anyone here do it? Do you have a seperate FB account? I would have one or two bits occasionally on my personal account but not sure I want to add the dozens of items Im looking rid of, onto it. :)

    Also, I have some Halloween craft stuff and since we dont actually "do" Halloween anymore I thought I might make stuff to sell....or maybe just sell it as a "Halloween craft bundle". Need to research that a bit today too and see if its worth the time and effort to make things.

    On a non money saving note, but entirely enabled/funded by this challenge, Ive just employed a personal trainer for 6 weeks. Eek! I officially start on Monday - just reading the "plan" over this week and tracking food. I think Ill do well in fear of incurring his wrath. ;) If I dont update one day its cause Im in too much pain to move [grin]
