    When it finishes will you tell us what it was, maybe I have it here ;) Got 200 80's cd's here that need to be sorted - cant remember the last time I listened to any of them - hard to let go of them though isn't - the memories one associates with music etc.

    Great that you are doing so well - hope it continues - I am sitting on £15.99 for a week now - but all finish (19) tomorrow - and more than half have watchers -- not that that means much

    Well it finished on £12.50...can't complain, it was a gift when my DD was a baby, 3 yrs ago. It was Classic FM Music for Babies 2005.

    I know what you mean about watchers - it doesn't always translate into a sale does it! 11 of mine end tonight and all have between 4-22 watchers each :eek: I will be extra gutted for that reason if they don't sell lol

    To all challengers that listed on saver thursday good luck :beer:

    Wow - thats good - I have one with 12 and 1 or 2 on most others - the rest nadda!

    OH had PSP on and is panicking he wont get a good price. I have different attitude when I put things on - if they sell for offer price I am happy - if they go for more I am delighted - I long ago gave up on trying to read buyers minds on Ebay. I put a lot of stuff on after reading this thread that I never thought would sell and I was right, it didnt! And then I have another item on that didnt sell at £4.99 six months ago and currently has a bid of £22 on it so what do I know!

    Good luck to all that 'finish' tonight!

    What a brilliant idea. I want to raise £600 to pay off one of my credit cards. I will search my house for 600 things. :-)

    I have got 32 items ending today, at the minute only 4 have bids on and only 9 have watchers on them, the highest being my Dyson with 20 watchers.

    The stuff that was listed was stuff thats not sold on previous auctions (relisted on 5p day) so i'm not too dispondent that stuff isn't selling well.

    I have more stuff to upload tonight, including a mobile phone and a some small electrical stuff which I think will sell well!

    I did ok, just ok - 9 out of 17 sold - some relisted last night again. Made £60, which is great. One item, see above, sold for £22!!

    Now I have to wrap them all (I hate that part) Try to wrap as they are bid on but didnt bother with that this week.

    Need to get more stuff listed. Cleared out garage and have loads sitting in back hall from there to go on - I hate that too

    Such a hater not a lover I am today.

    Made £41 last night, however dubious about the payment for one of the items, which was £17 + P&P so I've asked them to send payment via cheque or postal order or I won't be prepared to complete transaction....

    Uploaded another 24 items, 3 already have bids and a few have watchers.

    Do you trust cheque/PO more than paypal. Beginning to panic here as thought Paypal was most secure - although do hate ECheques via paypal - they take too long to clear
