    Should I hold on to them and hope demand picks up or sell now and get whatever I can?

    Any help most appreciated, I am totally out of the whole P&P loop, they don't do No 7 at centre parcs!
    If I was you I would hold on as the shops are still having probelms getting them in and boots.com have clamped down on people being able to get 3 in one order with loads of orders now being cancelled.Someone said that boots will soon have a shortage again so if I would advise holding on.I had some a while back and the price had fell ( so i thought i was going to lose out ) -but then the price went back up and I got £27 each .I would also sell to europe as you will get more bidders- they may not buy it but might push the price up.I charge about £7.00 for recorded signed for in europe.

    Try selling them to Americans, I've seen they pay much more. I think the bottom's dropped out of it now though!

    American buyers can be even more crazier than the british ones and I refuse to sell to america now as I had too many problems before.( items going missing, cancelling bidding etc ) .
    I must say that I have had more problems selling P&P than anything else with buyers refusing to pay and having to file non bidders.The worst scenarion was one buyer who refused to pay then negged me- tarnishing my 100% feedback PLUS leaving me no stars in all the categories running my greatstar rating too .All because she then bought the product on line so wasnt willing to honour her winning purchase. I started all my bids at £4.99 so wasnt demanding a high price it was up to biddders to decided what they wanted to pay- thts if they did pay.I had to issue 2 strikes and waited three weeks for one payment.
    I was only selling it to pay for my uni fees but cant be bothered now.

    Just got back from a weekend away (no bootsing or mse!)
    It was funded by my ebaying,mainly P+P ,lippy bags and Boots bargains!!!
    Oh dear, the bottom seems to have fallen out of the P+P market just now.
    Mind you the same thing happened a couple of weeks ago.What we need is a mention on the TV again!
