2015: Sell £1000

mumps

I've got another £40 and bids of £10 so well on my way to the next £100. At the moment the chaos is terrible, motivated DH about selling so he started to "sort stuff out" so stuff everywhere and then he lost the motivation! Oh well halfterm over and DGC back to parents so I am hoping something might happen this week.

Fingers crossed I might have sold a set of new alloy wheels for OH. Long story:(. Will report back when/if buyer turns up to collect and pay.

Another £5.50 for 23 dvds to add to my total courtesy of music magpie.

Starting June off with money received (eventually) in bank account from Amazon book sales. That's £39.13 to add. Now added to running total in signature.

Sale of alloy wheels for OH at weekend (won by me in a competition for him ages ago and for which I was hoping OH would give me a bit of 'commission';)) fell through because of OH's perversity:mad:. Will someone please shoot me if I attempt to sell anything else on his behalf ever again?

Had an interesting email from eBay on Sunday with offer of a free £25 voucher if I sell something for over £25 (excluding postage ):j. Offer runs for 5 days. Sorry, can't share link as it is an invitation-only offer. Listing and other fees apply though so will have to ensure I sell it for more than that to make sure I don't end up out of pocket. Off to have a good rummage now to find something I can list that will definitely realise over £25. Can't think of anything offhand:(.

P.S. Just re-read the offer's Ts & Cs. Looks as if it could be a total of over £25 final selling price for items, not just one thing. But it's very ambiguous so I might email them for clarification before I list anything. Have until Thursday night before listing deadline. Why do they make things so difficult?

Just sold an e bay item, £25 to add to my total as soon as they pay. I have a £2 bid on another item, we will see how that goes but the good thing is when I receive the £25 I will have passed the £600 which is brilliant.

Thank you, I am really pleased and they have paid. Can't believe our old clutter has raised £602, I will have to start planning the decorating.

Well done, smokies:beer:

I know what you mean about getting disheartened if things fail to sell after several goes:(. In the past I've given it up as a bad job and added any perpetual non-sellers to my car boot sale stash:(. Although they sold there I usually got far less than I'd hoped for on eBay so I think it's best to be like you and keep relisting. With some things it's just better to get rid of the clutter though, however small the profit

Have a good June:beer:
