Oh there's a thing- do any of you use Fat Fingers?? I have found some great things that people have listed but spelled wrong so they dont show up when people search for them, so they often have no bids :j

www.fatfingers.com


Edit: ok I just saw this at the bottom of the page on there "Winner of an Innovative Website Award from www.MoneySavingExpert.com " Doh!

If you get the little + and pull it down over columns 12-17 does that fix it?

Ah, brilliant - yes that did it - thank you *so* much. See I've got to learn all about excel during this as well; that can't be bad LOL!

Righty ho then. My totals are.

A loverly £218:14 made on eBay and Amazon (and in answer to the poster who asked about what items we are selling; I'm not a trader or wholesaler; I've just been going around my home selling stuff that I no longer want or need like books, cds and clothes mainly plus a couple of 1-off larger and more expensive items.

So far I have spent £113.99 and I estimate on another £90 on presents plus any wrapping and extra food. So I'm VERY happy (and Jamtart is still my hero for setting up this challenge )

Hi all-I managed to put a few more items up a couple of days ago and looks like they will fly out as have lots of watchers(fingers crossed) some items are ending later today.I originally wanted to recover at least 25% so that i could treat myself with whatever I make but I now have to add at least another £150 to my present totol, My younger sisters hair straightners have died and I am thinking of getting her some ghd's for xmas but cant decide between hot pink or the new gold so any recommendations please?
I don't really know how much profit I have made so far as I haven't had a spreadsheet yet-please jamtart6???

before you get the ghds, I'm sure on the discount codes board there is a thread for ghds and you can get them cheaper.

jamtart6

wheres my signature gone??

sonee2405

It's ok jamtart6 I don't mind waiting as I want to see what my current items sell for first.
Isn't it annoying when something brand new you try and sell goes for less than what you expect it too but the same item which has been used sells for loads more -thats just happened to me and I wonder why people do that?
Or when you stupidly bid on something a week earlier and you win & you really don't need that item-why do I do that!:o I have decided to punish myself at my sillyness like dobby the elf from harry potter from now on:rolleyes:
Anyway 3 more items on today with a few watchers so thats good.

*looking under the computer table for signature*

I can never work it out either sonee..I had a brand new with tags nike jacket (my son had it buried in his wardrobe) that sold for hardly anything but an old track suit fetched nearly as much as I paid for it originally lol
