1,000 ebay list challenge

blackbetty_3

I am going to set myself the challenge of listing 1000 things on ebay. I really want to have a holiday next year and I dont want to struggle to find the money out of house bills and dont want ti to impact on what i am paying out already so I thought I would let ebay sort it for me. So I have a year to do it and I am going to ttry and list 1000 things big and small, things that I have, or find, or get from people.

this weekend I am going to start by lsiting 25 things.

I'd love to do this but I don't know what I could sell.

I have subscribed to this thread. It is like a eBay diary.
Looking forward to seeing how you get on.

Be careful of postage prices. There's an ebay forum on here that's VERY helpful!

the weirdest thing i ever sold on ebay was an empty lego box, someone said people like them and I listed it and it sold for £4. The post is really expensive now so I weigh my things really carefully and quote the correct price. good luck everyone, maybe you could keep a diary list of how you're doing?

Weirdest thing I've ever sold is pairs of broken, smelly shoes. For fetishes....

Sold a used bra once, and after looking at the profile of the buyer think it went to a perve! Doesn't stop me selling them though!

What a good idea, might join you in this. If you average a £1 per item (considering not everything will sell) that £1000 will nearly pay off one of my debts, and clear the house of clutter

Might try this too. Pity post is so expensive. I think it puts people off a bit with some items.
