    I'm putting stuff up on ebay today since it's 10p listing day. One of my items is a fox pelvis I worked on when I salvaged a dead fox off the local expressway (I'm a taxidermist in training, just incase you all think I'm mental). Hopefully it will sell, I really need the money from bits and bobs, but I'll be so sad to see it go :(

    This week I sold 6 trial size shampoos and conditioners... I'd got them from a carboot for 5 cents each (thinking to take them on hols, but not needing to), they sold for $32. I was waiting nervously for bad feedback, if the person hadn't read they were trial size... but great feedback followed, she was really happy with them :confused:

    Brilliant, softstuff! I wish I had the disposeable income to pick things up from car boot sales to sell on ebay.

    I bought a flat cap in a charity shop for a stag weekend outfit for £2.50. Listed it the weekend after and sold it for £3.01 and £1.50 post and packaging!

    My best ebaying ever was my wedding dress. I paid $165 for it from Oztion (like an Aussie ebay), then sold it on ebay for $155. Bet not many people only paid $10 (about 4 quid) for their wedding dress!

    I nearly did softstuff - mine came from New Look in the sales with staff discount! Not the same as a 'proper' dress I know, but I still wear it sometimes :cheesy:

    I put it here last time to give people who are trying to get debt free some ideas so I thought I'd put it in here again. It just means that it's at people's fingertips rather than them trawlling through other forums for ideas.
