    I haven't sold for ages now, but from the point of view of a buyer ( I have got to stop bidding on everything!) I am very excited that the carboot season kicks off this Easter weekend, and I am expecting the bargains of the century to be waiting for me there, without the p&p... I had a bit of an Ebay shoppping frenzy all winter, but now I am holding off. I know, like every year, I'll be back, as I get new ideas for stuff I want and turn back to Ebay, where the pickings are richer.
    HTH

    Also Sunday night is a good night to end auctions, aswell as thursday night, so keep that in mind

    They're selling for over £50 on auction, and some over £80. I'd always be wary about selling something so quickly when there is sudden interest.

    I listed a CD single as a shop listing, and within a few hours, 3 people had asked the catalogue number. A quick Google revealed it was worth a lot more than the 75p I had it listed for, so it went on auction on Saturday. It's got a week left, has 11 watchers and up to £6+ already.

  • Out of 24 items I listed in the last two weeks I sold 20 - all paid for!

    You need to sell clothes/boots in the right season so boots would sell better in the Autumn, not at this time of the year and you would get more money for them too
