    Hi guys, I just came across this and I would like to join with the target of £1000.

    So far this year I have made £296 so admittedly I do have a long way to go, but I am determined to get there. I have a lot of useless stuff, so will dig deep at home to raise that money.

    I had this big bag by the door, ready to take to charity shop.
    Then I read this thread and decided to ebay it :)
    May I join? My target is £500.

    You are both added to the list and have numbers. Happy selling!

    I have been most slack and neglected both the selling and this thread. But I am so thrilled to read of those of you who have kept of selling, who are enjoying it and who are nearly at your target figures. Well done all of you :T

    Can I join please?
    Saw this thread yesterday, set up a paypal and eBay account and started selling tonight. Listed some Open University books on a face book group and got £40, can't believe they were just lying on a shelf.

    I'll aim for £1000, bit high with 6 months of the year gone but on the plus side I have hundreds of stuff!

    Health and family problems stopped my selling but I have made an effort to get back to it and have made £190 this week and on ebay look like I might have about another £50 by Monday. So I have beaten my target of £1,500. Not alot left to sell but the house is tidier and my decorating fund is healthy even after the bits I have done so I am happy. Well done everyone.
    Sell £1500

    2831.00/£1500
  • Got the eBay bug again, this challenge has got me focused on clearing out the stuff in my house.:j

    I've cleared £51.84 on eBay this week, 2 things still to be paid for (another £15ish) and others still ongoing a set of course books at £102 at the moment with 2 days left? Who knew they were worth that much!!:cool:

    My OH wasn't too amused that I sold a tee shirt of his, i bought it for him about 18 months ago. He's never had it on and it still had the labels on apparently he was slimming into it, did tell him he should probably step away from the cake he was currently eating. :rotfl:Anyway £10.80 in the pot from the liberated tee-shirt.
