    Lots of alternatives. But if your looking for viable alternatives than not that many.

    Depends what yopur selling, Gumtree, Facebook for face to face sales?

    To be honest that's car boot fodder, as long as you have enough to cover the pitch fees. It's all very low end stuff and really not worth bothering with if it has to be posted.

    Check on Amazon to see if any of the books are worth selling.
    It's not too difficult to get a pay as you go credit card, you'd only need to load with £1 for Amazon or Ebay.
    Have a look on Moneysaving Expert pages for prepay credit cards.

  • It sounds like a car boot lot to me. Even the autographs will be assumed to be fake on eBay.

    Yet they wouldn't be on a carboot?

    If they are authenticated autographs and may have any value, thereare specialist auctions that deal in them.

    I have dealt in autographs and due to so many COAs now being counterfeit it is a very difficult market. Having said that- I did 'dump'quite a few at a car boot once, just clearing stock- but admittedly they all went to the same sci fi fan!

    (all mine were sci fi related)

  • Ebay can still be 'his'* thing but only with stuff that's desirable.

    The rest ends up in charity shops or car boots.

    *Not sure why we need to know he is disabled. Do you need to know if I am black?
