Ben's April Challenge

ShakerSonicBen

I've decided to set my self a challenge this month.

I'm going to raise £200.00 to pay off and close my horrible capital one account.

I want to do this by selling stuff online, ebay etc....

I've already listed a few items and hopefully by the end of the month I can pay the thing off.

I'm quite terrible at stuff like so I'm going to keep you guys updated in this thread with my progress and hopefully I can do this challenge.

Has any body got any other ideas on how to raise enough money to meet this challenge, or even a good luck:)

got my first 7 things on ebay.

1 camera, a watch, and five cds

Best of luck ShakerSonicBen!

Hope they sell well for you. Do you have any books that you could put on Amazon (paperbacks -as postage charge is a fixed amount!). It mightn't make much but it's very quick to do and it all helps methinks :-) Am at a loss for useful ideas at the mo but will add them if I think of any.

Just wanted to wish you look with your challenge. I've got some things to put on Ebay but never done it before so need to get OH to show me how!!:D

Have already made £60 selling clothes and £47.45 at car boot in last 2 weeks though so I'm sure you'll do the £200 no problem.:T

How about looking into mystery shopping for some extra cash??

I renewed our house insurance on Saturday through Quidco and got £120 back...I know you won't get it before the end of the month, but it is definitely a good way to get money back. (it was the cheapest too).

Amazon for selling books is good, and I am an Ebay newbie, but enjoying the £200 I have made in a month! It can be done.

thanks guys.

Going to look into amazon selling books. Got loads that i know i'll never read again, suppose i may as well sell them to people who will.

Just thought about selling clothes, I have loads of pairs of levis which are still excelent surley they can go to someone thinner hehe.

I'll keep you all updated.
