I managed to get a few more bits on eBay yesterday (I needed to find something in the wardrobe and realised I had soooo many bags with the tags still on lol)
I had 2 to post off today aswell due to late payers .. Yay !!

I've still got a couple who haven't paid though so will have to open cases if I need to

Lots of the gifts didn't cost very much but the though that went into them was the important bit and it didn't deter us from enjoying Christmas, The secret is to buy something that person would like or need or want it makes it more personal than just a lot of junk that gets thanked and put away never to see the light of day

I do love reading your posts Jackie, you sound so like my mum , she always made Christmas special for us 2 girls even though she had little money we were spoilt with love ,its something Ive tried to do with my boys.:)

Hi Kim, I started selling off pretty much anything that wasn't nailed down just over a year ago on my mission to declutter the house. I found that I really enjoy it and I am pretty much constantly selling something or other now!

One thing I learned about eBay is that people will buy absolutely anything, so don't necessarily look at something and think it won't sell - look up the sold prices, you may be surprised! Also I find if you are prepared to set a buy it now price and wait, you will tend to sell your item for more than if you put it on auction.

This week I have sold a skirt I no longer fit into, a top my daughter had outgrown and a top of my husband's on eBay - just under £50 for all three. Best of luck with your challenge

Been there, done that, though we only had the 5 and I did have - come to think of it, still have - a partner. Wishing you all the luck in the world, and - you can do it! I did, and have somehow ended up, now the kids are older, as a market trader, buying in things that people round here don't want any more & taking it to places where they do.

Hi guys .. Got some more listings finishing tonight and managed to get a few more things on for next week ...

thrift .. I have market trader in my blood .. My dad has car boot sales all over the country and my mam picks some fab bargains up for me.
I think even though my main job is a research scientist I do love my bit selling .. I think that's why I'm hooked on eBay lol

When are your listings due to finish Kim ?
Honestly it's such a rush that final countdown lol
