    Just made a sale on fb and they came to collect twenty minutes later!!

    New total:

    #45 £96.76/£200 48.38%

    I can't believe I'm nearly half way to my target already!! Mind you after I've sold the stuff I've got boxed up for car boot/table top sale there won't be much left to sell so it's a good job I'm almost at 50%!! ;)
    Saving for Disney again, oops why book one Disney holiday when you can book two!

    First week is going well, I have got over £90 in my paypal account and two auctions ending tomorrow. Looking at everything in the house now with a view to "What would that sell for." Think this might get addictive. Mixed blessing that DH is a hoarder, lots to get rid of but hard for him to let go.
    Sell £1500

  • For anyone selling on Facebook, I do and think if you're careful it's fine. I have a separate account (Called by another random clear out) name. I always ask when they'd like to collect first, then let them ask for address. I never say i'll be at work. If they say a time i'm not there i normally fib and say got to take mum in law shopping or child to doctors...can we do a little later just in case i miss you by few minutes or if a small amount i say i'll leave it in the porch. x
    £2 sealed pot....continue from 2014 piling them in until termunda full!

    On gumtr3 and fr33gle I always wait until we have arranged a day to collect before giving out my address. Been bitten too often!

    Another £37.50 for me as I sold 5 bunnies! (not real ones...!)

    Listed 9 old items of DS1's clothing last night (8 T-shirts and a pair of jeans) - he was about to throw them in the dustbin, when I caught him getting rid of them :eek: When I said that at the very least they should go to the charity shop if they were in reasonable condition he said 'knock yourself out' and handed them over.

    One of the T-shirts and the jeans already have bids, so after fees that's a minimum of £5 to come in :) He might as well have been throwing money in the bin, but I don't plan on telling him they've brought me in a few extra ££s ;)

    £160 sold and almost £100 in bids with a few days to go on the auctions. I am getting quite excited about this, the money is nice and the clutter is gradually going down. I might need to set a higher target at this rate.
