    yes, Bob, usually big items are marked as "collection only" otherwise you have

    to sort out a courier, which can be a hassle and/or expensive.

    Well done on the ebay sale Mizmir!! Here's to many more!!

    Hope you have a good day!

    Sounds really good! Well done you. I'm feeling like I've got more energy, so I'll have proper lists up on my diary soon again.

    Morning all. Yes bob - the awning and the vacuum cleaner will be local collection only. But people are prepared to travel a bit (or were before the current fuel crisis) if they wanted something. So I am hopeful. The thing I always struggle with on ebay is getting the pricing right - never know if too cheap or too expensive! And I know that I have cocked up postage on one item - would recommend always weighing before you put the postage costs on - you can download a postal prices wall chart from the royal mail web site.

    So jobs for today - back in at work and meetings etc so less time for other stuff but:
    • More work on funding application
    • List at least the big items on ebay
    • Find another matched betting offer to do
    • Review where I am with my longer term aims and targets
    • Send replies to freecycle requests (loads of them!)
    • Monitor the June thread
    • Ring BC to do the balance transfers

    Pretty sure I have done sportingbet but canbet doesn't ring any bells. Refer away.
    (Might find I have an account as I am still in the dark after losing my spreadsheet but can give it a go!)

    Hmm are you still freecycling as well as ebaying? I would have thought the latter was more profitable!

    Here's hoping for another good day for you - and more money coming your way!
