Hi everyone
Had a busy weekend - we went to 6 carboots over the 3 days, so we got lots of stuff to list on eBay and hopefully make lots of money. I'm already in profit with my Saturday sales, so just Sunday and Monday to make up now. Shouldn't take too long.
I'm keeping up with my 10 eBay listings a day and it's still paying off. I've had over £100 daily sales for the past 7 days, and am already at £140 today. Vinted has taken a back seat whilst I concentrate on eBay.
So for September, OH and I are trying to clear a debt. He owes our friend some money, which we really want to get paid off. It's £2,797, so it'll be a challenge. If we can do it in a month, then we can try to clear another big debt next month. We've got quite a bit of food in, so won't be tempted by takeaways and meals out. Time to knuckle down and get things paid off.
I also want to set myself a little challenge. We are trying to have a clear out and prep for moving next year, so getting rid of clutter. I'm going to fish 5 things out of my wardrobe to sell and I want to see if I can take the money I make on those 5 items and turn it into enough money to clear another debt. Let's see how much is possible in a month. I'll utilise eBay and Vinted to sell on and try to sell things as quickly as possible to build up a fund. I'll get searching tomorrow for those items and get them listed on Friday.

Evening
Just popping in quickly. Today is not looking like a £100 eBay day, unless I get some sales tonight. I’m at £70, not helped by the fact I had to refund someone £20 for a “faulty” item, and it wasn’t even faulty. I’ve reported them to eBay and relisted the item.I’ve also sold one of my challenge items. Only for £4 on Vinted, but it’s a start!! We’re going to a carboot in the morning, so will see what I can find.Emz xx1 -
Morning
Up early for the carboot. I sold Another challenge item on Vinted overnight for £5. So I’ll take my £9 to the carboot and see what I can find.Also, I did make it over £100 yesterday - £147.80 thanks to some very late night sales.Emz xx1 -
Well done on the sales. Hope you find some bargains at the boot sale."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0
