Right, so off to a fairly standard start. An old Hyundai Coupe I had kicking around has gone on eBay (I have a habit of buying cheap cars and then getting bored of them). I'm fairly sure this will make £100, maybe even more giving me a little bit of a buffer! Item number is 231718458533 incase you're curious! Will post the next idea later today or tomorrow!
Will probably have to create a nice footer to track my progress!Dischared June 2018. Time to rebuid!0 -

Good luck with the selling. I had a peek at your listing for the Hyundai. I tried in Firefox, IE, and Chrome. I can only see a decent size photo for the last image. The first image is medium size (not great but ok) - the rest are tiny. It may just be me, but it may be worth checking. If people can't see decent pics of the car they may not bid.
Nice looking car - hope you get what you want for it

Right, so things to complete by the end of this week are all going to be simple. Need to list a load of old stuff on ebay.
This week's tasks are as follows:-
List the following on eBay
1 Hyundai (done)
2 MGF
3 MGF hard top
4 Drum kit
5 Decks
6 Old electrics (computers, phones & old plasma tv)
7 Mountain bike (brand new and won by my gf in a competition this week!)
Week 2 is starting to look like this...
8 Chase up old pet insurance claim
9 Change bank account to TSB for £125 cashback (this might have to wait until later in the year when my finances are in better shape)
10 PPI claims (hoping I'll find £100 kicking about here)
11 Start listing old magazines on ebay (I think I'll need to list 200 to make £100 over the course of the year)
12 Start listing my cousins old dresses and shoes on eBay (she passed a few years back and has some amazing 80s outfits!)
13 Erm...
14 I'll have some more ideas soon!Dischared June 2018. Time to rebuid!0
