  • Well done esbm and congratulations for being so persistent/optimistic in relisting so many times:beer:. Just goes to show you should never give up if stuff fails to sell straight away:)
  • Just a quick update. Made £29.40 after fees at a village hall table top sale this morning:j. Better than I'd hoped for as it was a lovely morning and I'm sure people were more interested in doing outdoor things than spending time in a dark and dingy village hall:(.

    Very small hall and very small tables allowed so couldn't take much stuff. Just concentrated mainly on books and CDs today so didn't do too badly considering.

    Book sales on Amazon have slowed right down so decided to sell some of the bigger and heavier ones at the sale today as it isn't worth my while selling on Amazon when the postal credit doesn't cover the actual posting cost.

    Have a good week everyone:beer:
  • Just updating signature and realised my total so far is £499! A) I might actually reach £1000 and B) I have far too much "stuff"

    It's better to have wings than have things
  • Another £15 today - Although I have confused myself somewhere!

    My total in Googledrive is £147 but I already have £152 in my signature so not sure what I have missed!! Unsure where I stand now lol (need to start making note of dates) got a few bits ending on ebay soon!
    Ask.. Believe.. Receive..

    Every Accomplishment Starts With The Decision To Try
  • Just had a sale on ebay and it went for far more than i ever expected, which has given my total a much needed boost :j #26 £597.62. I'm going to have to try and sell something for £3 to get me over the £600 mark.
    Emergency Fund £0/£500
    £365 in 365 Days #18 £520/£520
    £2.00 Savers Club 2017 #11 £300/£300
  • Well done, everyone:beer:

    Sadly, nothing much happening on the selling front here at the moment:(. Must do better:o

    Pretty much everything listed on ebay a couple of weeks ago sold - boosting my YTD figures - ok, most of it was the children's this time around, so the money's gone to them, but it's still money in and stuff out :D:T. Now feeling optimistic about making £1500 between me and them for the year. Would ideally like it to be me £1000, them £500 (or more:D:D) but it's now a case of finding what is left which is both unwanted/ un-needed AND saleable! :rotfl:

    Well done, greent, that's a great achievement:beer:

    I know exactly what you mean about unwanted/un-needed and saleable:rotfl:. After years of decluttering I can still find a fair amount of stuff but I can't see anyone in their right mind wanting to pay anything for it:o.
