    Defo wait for a free listings weekend, ilovetea. Then Fleabay should relist items three times for free if they don't sell first time round. I'd agree that it's probably not the best time to sell now (unless the items are new with tags etc.) I'd hold out till January when I'm sure they'll be loads of bargain hunters searching for unwanted gifts and the like.

    Think I'll start my selling in January too, apple. So much going on at the mo!

    Hi Applemuncher


    What a great idea for a challenge.


    This year I sold off all the easy the sell high value items in our home and have struggled since the summer to be bothered to sell any of the smaller harder to sell items.


    I have 10k of debt left to kill next year and need to get very clever with my debt killing skills.


    This challenge might give me the incentive to get selling lots of smaller items to see how I can get them to add up.


    I think £1000 is a good round number to aim for, so please sign me up.


    Thanks xx


    I have two books listed on Amazon both for £13 each so fingers crossed they sell soon
  • Welcome Philae - go you with your £1500 goal!

    I'm hoping that by aiming for £1500 I'll actually hit £1000 :rotfl:

    Aww,go on,then-add me to the list.Heavens,I don't know how I am going to do it-I had to get through 14 time-wasters to get rid of a mattress base that I was giving away for free last month :eek::eek::eek:.
    Looking forward to the challenge.Think I will start now,because some extra pennies for Christmas would be great.
    There is a thread around here somewhere about the unbelievable things people buy and sell on ebay.Will see if I can find it-might be good for inspiration.
