Make up to £10 a day in August 2018 - Everyone welcome

Hopeless_Case

I let my car get as empty as I dared then I filled it up today and used the 10p per litre voucher. On the one hand the total cost was £52.07 :eek: which is scary when I usually just put in £10 when I need to, but on the other hand I got £4.10 off, which I've paid straight off a card :j:j

£57.94 so far this month, every penny nw paid off a card :j

Oh wow Shariann how bittersweet but I'm sure your brother would be very happy to know you can now live mortgage and debt free...

I'm 55p away from a OnePoll cashout and Prolific is rebuilding ready for month end... I'm trying so hard... currently standing at £186.48....

Couple of cashouts today:

£8.50 Branded Surveys
£1.38 Curious Cat

Progress: £9.88/£60

Think I've got another fiver in the imminent pipeline and then from there it's graft graft graft for the rest of the month...

Lots of love to you Shariann

So I am at £333 now this month.

I sold a keyboard for £80 on eBay - it was Buy it now and is being picked up tomorrow. Others being sold for £25 so pleased with this.
I sold two five-year-old laptops for £80 each.
I have done £53 of mystery shopping. (I have some more to count later in the month)
I have sold £16 of clothes on eBay - it is going very slowly as nothing at all sold when I first listed so I have been re-listing. I Have got more still listed and am hoping to add more as the week goes on. Got bids on a couple, it!!!8217;s all good stuff from Top Shop mainly.
Decluttering will continue!

Other bits and bobs come from TopCasback (£22) and people insisting on giving me petrol money.

Some great totals. Well done everyone :T:T:T

Ok. Second time lucky hopefully :rotfl:

To get the best prices for old CDs DVDs video games and books you can use the usual selling channels like Ebay, Gumtree or Facebook although they can be hit and miss and quite time consuming to list things individually. It is often better to group similar items into lots like Childrens books, Top gear DVDs, shooter games etc.

Carboot sales is another option but buyers tend to want to pay very little.

For more specialist books Amazon may be a better option. Carbootcrazy sells books on Amazon so maybe she would be willing to give some tips

The other option is to use one of the specialist websites like webuybooks or ziffit. A separate post will follow with more details in the hope of avoiding a repeat of yesterday :eek:

There are quite a few sites now which allow you to type in the isbn number of your book or the barcode number of CDs, DVDs etc and then offer you a fixed price for the item. The amounts offered can range from a few pence to a few pounds and vary wildly from site to site so it can be worth trying all of them. However most of them have a minimum amount you can send. They usually offer free collection for large/heavy packages or carriage with parcel services like collect+ or myhermes.

All of the sites below have a smartphone app where you can scan the barcodes to save time. Some of them offer cashback through TopCashback or Quidco and some have a referral scheme. If anyone knows of any others I have missed please let me know!

NB When I refer to video games these are console games (Xbox,PlayStation etc rather than PC games

webuybooks Books (obviously!) cds dvds games. £5 minimum. No cashback £5 per referral. Myhermes. Payment by bank transfer, PayPal or cheque. Offers regular bonus codes.

and finally ....

CEX This is the only one of these sites that also has physical shops. They do buy stuff online too and uniquely they do buy some PC games. No books but they do buy CDs games DVDs old consoles, tablets, phones etc. No minimum if you sell in store and no minimum is quoted on the website that I can see. Payment in store by cash or voucher. The website webuy.com payment is by bank transfer PayPal CEX voucher or cheque. You can donate to Muscular dystrophy uk or help for heroes. Royal Mail or collect+
