I sold a video of Disney's Bambi for £12.50. I think my Mum paid less for it when it was new! The case had been chewed and all sorts!

Where are you getting these figures from? Look on ebay and these videos are selling for 99p and sometimes not selling.

My husband thought it would be a laugh to sell an "air guitar"
Listed it properly with a full description and even put it on a gallery picture!
It got loads of interest, questions and bids!!
finally sold for about a fiver - we gave free p&P!!!
It was even offered in exchange for some pond nails....
ohhhhhh those were the good old days......sigh......
bidder paid and left positive feedback too.

I loved it when the Boots serum thingie was sold out - I dug out a trial size I'd got as a free gift & it went for about £7.50!

my best ebay sale was a pair of levis twisted jeans that i bought from ebay for £17. i got them and found they didn't really suit me so put them back on to sell and received £78 plus p&p! the only thing i can attribute the increase to is that i bought the jeans under the women's clothing listing and i relisted them in the mens (with a bit of poetic licence in the description, eg 'distressed' rather than 'worn'!)

My friend bought an air guitar once. He still has it in the box :rolleyes:

Those air guitars take up too much room....

I've just thought of so many things I could have Ebay-ed yesterday

You're acutally better off not using the cheap days. If you use Turbolister the prices tend to be cheaper to list anyway, but the market gets flooded with things on cheap listing days so you wouldn't get as much for the item necessarily!

Just to mention about freecycle. If you are getting things off there to sell on, then you are duty bound to mention this when you reply to the add.

Also if you buy things to sell on then you should really be registering as self employed and paying tax etc. It is ok to sell things you already own though

Lynz - all DVD's etc that were free with the papers tend to sell so don't give any away! Try grouping them - so kids together, music together etc.
