    I only started, but I'm at 14% and plan to list some more things today. The problem is that I donated so much stuff when we moved to a new apartment, and that was only two months ago so I've not had time to accummulate more stuff yet.

    I have a confession to make:o I simply could not be bothered to list any items for the last 3 weeks I have no excuse apart from complete lazyness.

    SO! seeing as its Monday and Christmas is only 5 weeks away I have been listing all morning and have 8 items listed - It takes me ages though even with the quick sell thingy on.

    I now feel less guilty looking on this thread and can now post instead of just lurking:D
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    I see that some have had problems with the turbolister, it has been updated recently. Mine crashed a few times a while back and Ebay suggested I deleted the old version and downloaded the new one - and fingers crossed I haven't had any problems and that includes the 300+ loading up when I cleared out the unplayed CDs, VHS and DVDs!!
    The children have cleared out their unwanted PSP, PS2 & PC games, DVD and CD collections too - raising over £200.00!
    It's a great time of the year to sell, especially if you list with the word Christmas/Xmas/gift in the title.

    Considering the number of views and number of spreadsheets i sent out (at least 150-200) im so disappointed by lack of progress reports!! come on out from where you are hiding guys and gals!!!

    thanks to the regulars for keeping me company!!!

    ok it seems like im forever updating you - but I am sooo close to my target i can almost smell that xmas tree! level!!

    This round of sales brought in another £55 and boosted me up by 10%....I am 17% away from 75% level which equates to £93 left to sell!!!! - Best bit is, the parents keep clearing out the loft and donating things to the cause! (and keep mentioning that they never see the profits in a joking manner...what they dont know is the profit their items have made will be turned into gift vouchers for them at xmas as a thank you!)

    hurrah!! i have a few more bits to get but am trying to spend vouchers and piggypoints if I can !

    Next year should be ok - I have £110 on boots card and £10 voucher from pigsback for 75% sale day!

  • Been more of a lurker lately. Think i ran out of steam a bit.
    Anyway. Been up in the loft last night and found loads of pre-loved stuff to list. Gonna spend this afternoon photoing and listing. see if i can do a last minute spint before Christmas hits us.
    Nothing to declare ;)
