    Well done Kashton. I've made an absolute fortune recently selling books on Amazon. Have you tried this?

    They are books I've got at home, ones I've read.I've sold best sellers, autobiographies, kids books, whatever I can get my hands on. I've also sold quite a few PS2, DS and X-Box games, they go really quickly.

    I'm doing it because I'm trying to de-clutter but I've made over £200 over the last 2 months.

    Do you have any charges you've paid on any credit cards? I've reclaimed £221 today from an old Halifax credit card. It's taken me about 5 weeks but I got there in the end.

    When you search for a book it usually has a box saying 'sell yours here'. Click on the box and see what everyone else is selling the book for. I tend to list mine for a few pennies less. Even when you sell your book for 0.01p you tend to make some money out of the postage. If you have any problems let me know
