    Is it too late to join? I have a mountain of stuff to get rid of and need a bit of a kick (hardly sold anything). Just got engaged and saving for the wedding. Aiming for £80 this month.
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J

    Count me in - I bet I've got more junk than you!
    I'm hoping to raise at least £150, so wish me luck!
    I would very much appreciate a copy of the spreadsheet - then I'll just need to learn how to list things on ebay...
    Regards,

    Me please! This is just the motivation I need. I hate putting stuff up on eBay, but it's worth it when the money comes in ;)

    I'll aim for #100 this month as I don't think I have many high value items.

    Good luck everyone and thanks for setting this up, Welshlassie.

  • I'd love to join in please, I already have a huge pile of stuff ready to list on ebay. If I can make £100 and not re-spend it on ebay I'd be over the moon.

    please count me in as well. I have a few things to list saved up, although nothing huge.

    Will try for £100 target and see how I get on!

    r.mac, you are so wise and wonderful, that post was lovely and so insightful!
    I can't promise that all my replies will illicit this response :p
  • Ebay are doing a free listing weekend (these do not happen often enough) for anyone listing things starting at 0-99p. It must be on auction style only but it is great motitivation to put the effort in.

    Got all my photos done, and descriptions roughly written down.... Just got to wait for DS to go to sleep before I can come back and fill turbolister ready to go on Sat!

    EDIT: Now have 18 items listed on TL ready for Sat (thanks to my friend who helped enormously ;) )
    Still have a few more to go, but these ones require abit more concentration, so they will get done tomorrow...

    Well I'm getting there, a few auctions prepared ready to press the button on the weekend, just need to get the rest of them sorted.

    If people want a copy of the spreadsheet I need your email address otherwise I can't send it.

    A couple of people have asked about how we keep track of totals, so just track it yourself, feel free to post totals on this thread if you wish, at the end of the challenge we all post on herewith our totals and see how we have all done and congratulation/commiserate with eachother as needed.
