    <sulk> A day to go and 1 bid for a paultry 99p. This is the worst ever for me, but a poster a few posts back suggested Friday and Saturday evenings at the end of the month, so perhaps I'll wait a fortnight to relist.

    How are things, poorandindenial? Are you all set to list up your 8 items tomorrow?
    And Little Chicken, I think you are right about how revealing it is to keep a spreadsheet. 25% gone in costs, is something we all need to be aware of, eh?

    Three cheers for the wonderful person who sent us our spreadsheets so that we can keep an eye on things.

    The best thing I did was sell to a friend! No listing fees, she paid me by cheque, so all the filthy loot is mine, mine, mine :D

    I've decided to put things on Turbo lister and then wait to the end of the month for the rest of my items.

    I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend,

  • I know what u mean BP.... I've got 12 things listed still with a total sale price of £2.78....
    I don't know whether the supply outstripped the demand because of the free listings or what, but some of my stuff hasn't even been looked at!
    Luckily I kept it all on Turbolister, so I will put it on again later on in the month, but I have to say my eBay confidence has been knocked quite a lot!

    Had 5 items ended this evening and made £87.21 which takes me over the £100 I set and thought I couldnt achieve lol. Will keep listing bits and see how I go :)

    Well my 28 items finished last night and 8 of them sold giving me £45 odd quid. Need to take fees etc of this, but its a start. Was really disappointed what some of the things went for and really surprised that some of the things didn't sell at all. DH is out tonight so will pack everything up and list some more stuff that has materialised.
  • Well have listed 11 items, due to end on Saturday. Fingers crossed they all sell for really high prices!! LOL

    Not doing too badly, up to about £115 now - still got some to pay, so no definite figures just yet. The best ones by far were a Paul McKenna CD going for £24 and a bagpuss rucksack going for £10.34 (sadly bagpuss is not on my list as they're my sisters!).

    I listed 5 items last night so fingers crossed. Have the maximum of 100 items on Play.com too so hopefully I might sell some of those too
    Not been here in years! Hi everyone. Make £10 a day challenge = £78.45/155
  • Really annoyed at how badly I'm doing atm..... a lot of the stuff I listed on the free weekend is going.has gone for pence!:mad: I just sold a pair of Levi's for 49p:mad: :eek: :mad:

    Think I might leave it a week or so before I list anything else, and next time I will stick to listing the cheap stuff on sheap listing days!

    Not a happy bunny!

    Hi everyone,

    My sales finish up tomorrow and stand at £98 just now, so I'm closer to OH's estimate (£100) than my goal of £400. I'm hoping for a few mid-evening bidding wars tomorrow night :o
    I joined the 21k debt free in 2 years head to head challenge 12 December 06
    Started at £20,170.01 December 06
    Currently...£4,687.21
  • Urgh I'm having no bids on any of my stuff right now. Its quite depressing really. I need to find some stuff that sells well!!
