    I just tend to list clothes on a buy it now basis as I know some people just want toms roll through and buy as they see it. It's worked well so far. If it resists more than twice I'll drop the price by a pound and see if that's helps.


    I do buy it now, and had more success than auctions, people want things now and don't want to wait 7 days for an auction to finish.

    Well done you on getting a blog going! I’ve always thought I’d love to do that...but I don’t know enough about anything in particular:rotfl:
    I have a few ebay bits listed too - though I don’t have anywhere near the amount of stuff I used to have to sell. Kids clothes used to make me a good amount but I’d best leave their clothes alone now;)

    I’m back to it today though and focusing on my rather paltry income and trying to spend as little as possible! Wish me luck:)
    I really need to sort out a new signature!

    Another mad busy day at work today, pizza is in the oven and then its bathtime and an early night with the laptop. I'm going to be working on some more blog stuff tonight, I can't wait for the summer holidays so I can spend more time doing it properly.

    Today my regular saver account matured so that's £82 interest on its way to my brothers fund :beer:

    Ds is at his Dads, I'm mooching through the housework and have done the food shopping. Both beds have been stripped and the washing machine is doing its thing. Time now for some blog work :D
