    There used to be a really good thread on the DFW board with ideas of things you might have around your house that sell well. I think it got lost when the site went down last year though. :(

    Old glasses (as in spectacles) was one thing I remember from it - we sold two pairs for £10 each after that suggestion!

    Ah that reminds me - used printer cartridges! I used to throw them in the bin until I realised people on ebay pay a small fortune for them.

    I don't mean anything dishonest - all properly disclosed in plain English in the description & title.

    I am being sensable with my debts but need to earn to some more money on top of my wages.

    Whats a good thin to sell on ebay. Any advice would be really appreciated

    1. Anything you can get for free. Guaranteed profit!
    2. Scour second hand shops for valuable items. Focus on a particular area that is of interest to you, as having a personal interest helps keep you motivated. e.g. could be Star Wars related merchandise, or James Bond novels or whatever. Learn the prices, look out for what's worthwhile.

    Other than that, you're gonna have to figure it out for yourself. Everyone here will help you with technical questions - but no-one is going to give you a list of suppliers and instructions on how to compete with them!
    For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also ...
