    Hi its worth a look on the freebies board as I ordered a free DVD and sold it on Ebay for £7.50! There was a real bidding war. These things are rare but if you sell freebies.

    ps books are best sold on Amazon. There are no listing fees if you don't sell the book. They can sell quite quickly! I have sold 2 books a week on average and the money is in your account within a week. Plus it's easier to list as well. I listed 15 books in 15 minutes.

    Do you have any good make up or perfume? did my best with these - used. They love it. Just sold some mini perfumes that were open and used and some foundation - again used. Clarins or Estee Lauder goes well.

    Or designer clothes (not my thing), old football shirts, good makes of china.

    Make sure you check what sells before listing. Checked "completed listings" for things that have sold or not. Gives you an idea of price. Start with low prices, not what you want the item to go for.

    Good Luck.
