    I'm pleased with it. Has made me feel a lot better about things I must admit. Still got a few bits I can put on Amazon and I really should tackle what is in the attic at some point. But I can't face it right now.

    It always is!!

    I have been on a roll and even manage to resisting buying things in Sainsburys that I didn't need and didn't get any nice cakes for work. So money and diet saving.....

    Obviously the weekend has taught me that I don't need to spend anything as making money is far more important!!

    And never pick and mix!! I spent £5 on pick and mix at a service station once. It was pre MSE and I did have a hangover. I wasn't driving and made myself feel sick.

    It was very nice though!

    How much do you sell em for? Every thing I have seems to be already listed on there for like 1p.....doesn't really seem worth it when I have to give them money for it too....

    I have some listed really low. But my attitude is this: Every penny I make is better than something unused sat on a shelf. But saying that I have had a DVD box set go for £15, which sort of makes up for the things that don't go. And you get more for them than you would at a carboot.

    The thing I like about Amazon, is that they only charge you once something has sold, if it doesn't go you don't pay. Whereas Ebay make you pay up front, regardless whether it sells or not.

    Hope that makes sense!

    Yeah I kinda see your point. Hmmmm....we are going through our back bedroom/soon to become study tonight in a bit to clear all the rubbish out of it. So hopefully I will find a few hidden jems to sell! Fingers crossed.

    I will find a little jem to sell I will I will I will!!!!
