    Just bought another little lot on Ebay which has 5 Avon items in (all new) and 6 samples for £2.20. They also live locally so will pick it up to save postage.

    I was thinking about taking them into work to sell. I could charge £1-£2 per item depending on what they are and then I would make at least £5.80 profit.

    I've still got £4.80 to play with too :D .

    Yesterday my parents invited us out for tea.
    Afterwards my Mam insisted on giving me the money for our meals. I said it was around £12, but she shoved £20 into my hand.
    So I thought I would use the £8 extra as a start to my challenge.
    Does everyone think that would be ok?

    I'm still on £5 - but i have been away hehe! The money has been transfered from Amazon into my account - once it arrives in my account i will move it across to my savings account (which at the moment has 0 pence in) so come June hopefully i will have a bit of money saved up from the money i have made from nothing!!

    I know I am a bit late, but I would love to join the challenge. I have dabbled with trying to buy items to sell on ebay/amazon but never really got my teeth into it so this should give me the boost to do it!

    I have made a start by selling an unwanted Xmas pressie on Amazon, giving me a profit of £8.23 after postage so I am on my way. I will have an ebaying session tonight of some other unwanted gifts, freebies etc (hey this ties in nicely with my spring cleaning / de-cluttering plan for this month!). Then will have to give some thought to how to make this money work best further down the line :confused:

    So far I am up to £10.53 - thats selling 2 items on Amazon i was given or won. Once the funds are in my bank account i will transfer them to my savings account. Hopefully by the end of the month i will still be on track.

    Just checked quidco and have £5.95 to be paid out in April, its all slowly adding up!

    How's everyone else getting on??
