well done! :j:beer::money: I have crafting stuff I was trying to sell individually on ebay, thinking now might just bundle up for one sum of money.

What kind of crafting stuff does well in your experience? I sold a lot of cross-stitch stuff on ebay a few years ago (charts, kits, threads, fabric) for my mother. They did well individually but I've nothing like that of my own to sell

I've got quite a lot of bits of interesting/unusual patterned fabric at the moment which might have all sorts of uses for people more industrious and inventive than me:o. Some are small so not sure if they're worth listing individually.

I also have a wooden embroidery/cross-stich stand/frame, must dig that out and try to sell that. Need to get DH to assemble it for photographing first, then take it apart again to box it up to post. If I recall correctly there are a lot of bits to it and it took DH ages to assemble it last time it was used as a couple of fixings were missing (I'd bought it myself years ago on ebay):eek:.


Congratulations to sillyinthepast:T. Brilliant result. What sort of craft items did you sell please (if it's not a cheeky question)?

I have absolutely no idea. this is stuff I bought years ago to make cards with and not being very arty or creative i failed making them. so now want to sell the stuff on so have more of my cupboard back.

Purpleroses does well on ebay - think she crafts stuff to sell so might be able to help.

have you looked at etsy? your bigger items that need to be assembled might do better on there. actually I should look on there too.

It's mostly crafty stuff I sell on ebay...beads for jewellery making a bit slow so going to give etsy a go. Card making stuff sell pretty well, make up bundles of stuff that usually entices people.

I'm glad you have more self control then me I told myself this month wouldn't be the month I spend on stuff I do not need, I then went to fatface over the weekend and I spent £40 on a hoody and £15 on flip flops :eek: I'm learning though

Take them back

Only just though! I have caught myself with my debit card in my hand ready to type my details into a site before closing down the page. I started last Thursday and it's going well so far, but then I haven't been out shopping to tempt me into buying much.

Well done. Consider changing your password to DoIReallyReallyNeedThis or TheRealCostpriceIsFiveTimesThePriceIamPaying

No extra income today but I did have a reassuring and positive text message from the owner of the boat I am interested in he's starting work on her next week and if all goes well, could be mine in a fortnight ahhhhhhhh scary thought!!!

I'm back... Nothing to report. Except that I'm utterly shattered... I'm going to start again tomorrow.

Hope everyone is ok

A boat? What about your signature statement?
