Ds is in bed and I need a cup of tea I'm absolutely shattered tonight, I have had a couple of late nights and I think I need to go back to work for a rest :rotfl:
Tonight I need to figure out the budget for June (payday tomorrow ) and other than that I have no plans except for vegging on the sofa or I may even get into bed dead early

You sound like you have had a good day, and woo hooooo on getting another sale!!

I am with you, 99p is better than nothing.......and if you sell 100 things at 99p, then it is almost £100!!!! Certainly not to be sneezed at!!

Guys I need some opinions .....
I'm thinking about selling my Wii and Wii Fit on ebay :eek:
I haven't played the wiifit at all this week and can see it being like any other fitness thing, where once the novelty has worn off it will just sit there gathering dust, then before you know it every car boot sale stall will have one on it a la George Foreman grill :rotfl:

I haven't really used the wii much and tbh I dont see that changing much
I had a look on ebay tonight and the wiifits are going for 100-130ish :eek: (I paid 70 for it), so this is learly helping sway me towards shifting it before the price drops. The consoles (used) are going for about 150-170, and I also have Super Paper Mario which is going for about 15. In total it all cost me 280 and I could sell it for about 265-315ish, so I should pretty much recover my money back. The only thing putting me off is selling on ebay, I know I do it for little bits but I get scared when its bigger items especially something like that, I'm just scared of getting scammed

Thoughts please .....

I would sell it, and perhaps do local pick up only.....that way you can be sure it won't arrive "damaged" or "lost"......surely they are so much in demand that there would be people nearby who would buy it?

I am sure, even if you put it on with delivery, that you would be fine.

Good luck!!! That would be your whole £10 a day challenge completed in one go!!!

I think its just cos I live alone I always feel wary about that, dont know why really

Then I'd have the problem of deciding whether to spend the money or save it :rolleyes:

if you don't use it then it sounds a good idea and like you say the interest/availablity will soon change so you might not get so much back. never sold anything like that on ebay before so can't be of any help there - sorry.

I've read somewhere that you have to offer paypal as a payment option, people were worried about this on collection items as can be collected then the buyer puts in a claim to say goods not rec'd... it could be just scaremongering but I'd be concerned. At least if you post it you can get a receipt for it, may have to pay extra for special delivery or something but the buyer would pay that anyway.

I was thinking of selling my DS as it was a novelty at first and now I hardly play it, but I'm thinking I may regret it... if you really think you won't play it, go for it.... could go towards DS's birthday party.

I'm off to bed soon... all that country air knocked me out!! :rotfl:

benbenandme

yeah thats a good point tigz, you do have to offer paypal now as a form of payment. I have sold my cooker and treadmill on there before but that was before that rule came in, so they paid cash on collection.
Think I might nip over to the ebay board and see what advice they have there Then again, like you, Im knackered tonight so may go to bed instead and look into it tomorrow Night all x
