eBay Neutral Christmas Savings Challenge

Sallys_Savings

Everything!!!! ....well actually not quite everything ... but I'm having one heck of a clearout.

I've been selling computer games, sewing and craft items that I have left over from projects, shoes, clothes, a couple of slimming magazines, vouchers, books, handbags, unwanted toiletries, dance shoes, an old sewing machine, webcam, christmas baubles (some really old ones that I bought for £1 at a car boot), a watch (a gift from a boyfriend 25 years ago and I've never worn lol), a uuuumm sexy nightie (my oh bought for me and was a size too small so never worn and realise I'm just not going to slim into it),

Good luck everyone:santa2:

I didn't get my spreadsheet

I'm selling a real mix of stuff - books and cds on Amazon.
On Ebay I have a photocopier, a sofa (you know how you just find these things knocking around the house LOL!), some of my old clothes and a couple of books.

I am not spam...I am Jamtart!!!! heehee! glad you got it sorry for the delay!! Items that finish next sunday going really well - a similar one sold for £19 last week (some other seller), so I'm hoping this is the breakthrough I need on the telly... a fiver each would be a great start!!!

Could do with a few big items to sell to hike the sales up a bit... but sadly the biggest thing i think i can sell is a lava lamp!

OOoooo. I've got a couple of lava lamps that i could put on. only problem would be posting them safely. you are not supposed to post glass though royal mail.

Hello Everyone! I've been following your progress for a while but only just registered to post on the Forums! Jamtart sent me her spreadsheet and I have listed 7 items on Ebay today - 2 watchers already! It's an excellent challenge, Jamtart. I am one of those people who worked out my Christmas budget on an Excel spreadsheet last January, so it's right up my street. Unfortunately my Christmas spend will run to approximately £600, and that's if my OH doesn't get involved!! I bought cards etc back in January in the sales, and also snapped up Christmas stockings and loads of Christmassy bits and pieces to put in them. I bought 2 big presents in the last week or two so I have spent a total of £84.36. I'm not aiming for Lapland but I do have a couple of big items to sell - a stroller, a pram and a carseat - so maybe I will get to 50%. Apart from the financial motivation, I am desperate to clear out my loft. I have been shoving things up there for years thinking, 'I'll be able to get something for that on Ebay'!

Hope you all get lots of high bids, good luck to all! BJDx

oF COURSE ROXY, JUST PM ME YOUR (oops caps!) e-mail address and I'll send it to you.

Ok guys, got a dilemma, Mum has been de-cluttering and giving me some stuff to put on eBay cos Im quicker than her at it and she has been letting me keep the profit cos she is a total star and the best mum in the world, I know I could give her the money - but Id rather tot it up (her profit) and give her something at xmas - vouchers or something to that value to say thank you (rather than "Happy Christmas, here's your eBayed profits!!")

So apart from vouchers can you think of anything nice? She probably would quite like vouchers, but does that look like a lack of thought?
