    I sold my old kitchen for £110 !

    Took pictures of it before I dismantled it all (then broke a few bits in the process!) and then left it outside the house for the buyer to collect - they travelled down from somewhere out in the sticks or Scotland !

    Money put through the door in an envelope (as I was out) - sorted!

    Next I'll be selling as carpet out of the front bedroom :D

    How odd, they are quite useful bags though, much nicer than your standard carrier.

    I'm going to sell everything this time around :D

    My husband's old mobile phone. A Nokia 6310i. I ended up getting 30 sterling for it and that was with a crack in the casing. There have been others on there going for more!

    My OH sold an old leather type motor-cycle jacket which had been stuck in the garage for years. He received around £48 quid for it. He has also sold an old bakelite phone for a similar amount.

    I sold a sony phone that had been run over for £40 had little to know chance of working again- described in full couldn't believe it sold. main reason buy carrier bags is because if you have an item that corresponds it adds authenticity and therefore price. did it my self I had a tiffany bracelet(not that fake rubbish that peepe list) but had lost the box in a move, bought a box and listed it got 3 times thee price others were selling for.

    Thanks to the original "what you never thought you could sell on ebay" thread, we have sold the following:

    - beer mats
    - old car tax discs
    - mobile phone that I put through the washing machine
    - freeview box that no longer worked
    - magazine that someone was throwing in a skip
    - mugs we "acquired" from a restaurant once!
    - voucher for £10 off a Tassimo machine
    - empty printer cartridges

    So, get selling everyone! Every little bit helps!

  • I once sold a piece of gammon steak fat in the shape of an ear for £50. Some folk have blatantly more money than they need :rotfl:

    When I realised what it looked like I nearly brought my dinner back up!

    I used to collect the old posters that Royal Mail issued to advertise special stamps. I thought "Hmmmmmmmm, I wonder if anyone would buy them?" and they did. I cleared about £27 for what was just crap really.

    A friend once sold a six-panel free standing car garage which was pebble-dashed. Some Cockney bloke came up from London with a truck for it.
