    You have my full sympathy, poorandindenial.

    I finally confronted my procrastination and listed two items up last night and two this morning. Geeesh, I was sulking around every moment I was doing it :rolleyes:

    I don't know what to say to give you a boot up the derrière, but perhaps you could reward yourself in some small way every time you list up an item?
    Just something simple - a 5 minute walk around the garden to see what spring is offering you, a rub on your shoulders with your favourite massage oil, a piece of chocolate and a cup of tea :D

    One thing that helps is to blast out your favourite music as you're doing it..........

    Just focus on the 29 quid you have made already and think how much that could grow the more items you list.

    Aaargh - I am so letting the side down. I just can't get motivated to list more items after my inital spurt. I made £9 off of play.com and £20 our of ebay (both after all fees) but my heart just isn't in it now. Someone give me a boot up the jacksie please....
  • Hi I'm gonna have a go at this and go right through the house, do you think clothes, cds, books are worth putting on not sure what is worth doing, any tips?

    Clothes sell ok rosieandjim but CDs and books sell much better on Play.com or Amazon and its much much quicker to sell them on there too. I have never used Amazon but can recommend Play.com. I sold 3 of my own CD/DVDs today on there

    Brilliant plan, have had TV on in background before but that was too distracting - I feel Dolly Parton, 9 to 5 might just do the job :T. I can't believe I didn't think of that - simple but effective.

    Cheers for the support bigpaws. Right I aim to list 8 things on turbo lister ready to launch to my unsuspecting potential buyers on Monday evening.:D
