    Sold 2 items on ebay this week around £18 worth 10 + profit i listed another 7 things today

    i could lower prices and sell stuff much quicker but id rather just leave them sit there and they do go they are well priced got 38 items listed average price is around £9

    bought a new desk for the office yesterday

    Not much going on the finances really Hopefully can make an Op in the enxt few days :]

  • Good going with ebay and listing. I did think nobody would be buying in Jan, but have been proved wrong.I always have a dilemma regarding prices, never know how to gauge, so just list and if something sells quick, think I must have priced too low, but know that's not the case, and if they don't sell - must be too high a price:)

    With your new desk, hope it brings you more work and finances:)

    Might try an o/p tonight just to see how long it takes to reach my mortgage account:)

    Been a busy day for myself, reclaiming rooms back:D feel I'm getting somewhere now.
    Always have 00.00 at the end of your mortgage and one day it will all be 0's :dance:

  • It's that mental approach with eBay, and being able to accept whatever you're willing to, then immediately viewing it as another thing out the house!

    Afk pricing depends what it is really 90% of stuff you can look up hopw much its going for or sold for so pretty easy really
    I mostly price my stuff high anless i want to get rid of it quick then i just price it lowish
    Thanks the new desk is on the other side of the room mainly for a place to keep my documents and a place to chuck all the stuff i dont use every day on but need out in the open
    Do the OP i bet its clear on Tuesday morning :]

    Shang Totally agree i have 2 big boxes of stuff where after i list them i just put them in that box so they are out of the way this way really and thing is the 2 boxes must be worth £200 + way i look at it :]
