Well at the weekend, I finally got round to listing half the stuff i've been meaning to do for the last month. If it all sells, we should have £100 to start us off. So far we've bought no presents :eek: but things keep happening (the bank are taking my overdraft off me in 10 days so i've been trying to compensate towards that)

The good news is my extra workload at work means an extra £2000 in commission at the end of December so that will all help (although i'll be too darn tired to do anything with it!)

This weekend i'll list the remaining items and have a hunt round to see what else I can sell.

Dont forget it cheap listing day on thursday if you're able to list it then

Brilliant newmrslockwood ...you should be really pleased with yourself.

I havent bought anything for a couple of weeks and really need to finish off the shopping...I only have a few bits left though

Quickly going around the house this morning for bits to sell as I've nearly finished the boxes stacked in my sons room. I want to get as much as possible up on the 10p listing.

Just an idea:

Maybe people want to start posting their ebay name in their signature incase anyone wants to look and buy what your selling for xmas pressies.

Not sure if thats against any rules but just thought it would be a good idea.

Hi all. Just had a massive sale on e-bay. Unfortunately i cant add the total to mine.
My FIL bought 3 old beermats from the secondhand market a few weeks ago and he asked my DH to put em on e-bay for him. They cost him £4 for all 3. They have just finished and one made £127.99, one made, £287.11 and the last one made £571.00. We couldn't believe it.
My FIL is now £986.10 better off... less the e-bay fees and his initial outlay of £4.

My goodness just for beer mats...I'm totally shocked. My father used to use them just a few years back as rags :eek:

ummmm me thinks you should have a little commision lol

Hello, I'm back! Thanks to Sally Savings for pointing out 10p listing day - I've just listed 14 items. I have more items but ran out of day. Never mind, I will press on with photographing and describing and pop them all on next week sometime. My loft is looking amazing - I can actually walk across the floor without breaking my neck now!

Well done Newmrslockwood's FIL (Originalmrlockwood??) - way to go!!!:j

well done all of you. newmrslockwood do you mean the fabric kind or the card kind?

have any of you been amazed at what has sold?

newmrslockwood

Hi they were the card kind. My husband collects them, but he hasn't got any rare ones. Otherwise they would be on there!
