I haven't seen a castle one before (We has a puppy in my pocket pet palace last year, it's not that is it?). Could you do some pics when you have found all bits please? Thank you. Smile

DinosaursHateUnderpants · 30/11/2010 22:43

Well done Tortoise!

Another 25 things listed tonight, and am running out of motivation now, want to get the last lot on this Thursday and Sunday and then I can finally start thinking about Christmas.

My things are HERE

FrameyMcFrame · 01/12/2010 15:21

It has a big slide, I think it's littlest petshop though indeed I couldn't be sure.
Haven't had a chance to search out all the bits as DD at home with a sore throat today.
I'll do some photos but where shall I upload them to? :)

GruesomeShellChillingTortoise · 01/12/2010 17:37

The pet palace we had, had a slide so it could be the same one. You can add pics to MN profile or a picturetrail/photobucket site. Smile

notcitrus · 02/12/2010 13:11

Two bids already (so £10) on items I didn't think would sell, lots of watchers on a M&S suspender belt of all things, and no interest in the nice stuff!!
Ebay buyers really are quite mad.

Have just seen that snowsuits are suddenly selling well Shock so will list one and a couple grobags.

Have just seen that plastic mailing bags are incredibly cheap so may Freecycle a lot of the jiffy bags I have around so I can reduce future postage charges and have less clutter around.

mygirllollipop · 02/12/2010 17:57

FIL has given me his old stamp collection to eBay but /i don't know where to start!

SNOWBall4girlz · 02/12/2010 19:24

Well hi there everyone :).
Christmas is coming and the goose is getting fat lol.

My purse is very thin so listed and relisted some more stuff spent most of my hard earnd cash on a couple of take that tickets from a very nice mumsnetter so here goes again

here

SNOWBall4girlz · 02/12/2010 20:05

Well tortoise I hear you finally got snow cannot wait for ours to go now lol.

Looking foward to getting my book from ellissfund love bones sorry about the slight delay in paying.

I have some X box games to sell about seven not that up to date but not sure if to bundle them up or sell separately ..got a few toys to go on and some baby bits booster seat and cover for a dining chair blow up baby bath and a mcrowave steriliser hope to get them on later. I think that the more categories you have stuff in the more people look at your stuff iykwim.

Not many days left got to get busy but cant remember where i put the camera lead .......

GruesomeShellChillingTortoise · 02/12/2010 20:32

Yes we got some Snow SNOW Grin. Only about 3 inches though! Xbox or Xbox 360 games? Probably best to check completed listings. My friend has asked me to sell their old Xbox and pile of games for her. So i will be looking them up once she gives it all to me to sort!

Sold Duck popcorn popper tonight. It ended on £28!! Shock Somehow listed as free postage though so i will get about £4 less than that. Sad

mygirllollipop · 02/12/2010 21:59

Listed 40 items so far. Sold a microscope on BIN (someone asked) - didn't think it would even go but had 4 watchers and was only on for a couple of days.
I have a bid on something already that I listed less than an hour ago!

notcitrus · 02/12/2010 23:30

Lollipop - what ages and countries are the stamps from? If there's much from pre-1900 or anything FIL thinks is uncommon then you'd want to get it professionally valued by Stanley Gibbons or someone and go to auction.

If you want to ebay I'd divide it by country and year and set and google all of them.

No new bids for me but have a choclatiere in box to sell. MrNC agrees the friend who gave us the useless thing has seen it used once so can't be offended...

mygirllollipop · 03/12/2010 00:04

I think I have them all split into countries. Don't think any are pre 1900. Can't see dates on most, most are franked. Have tried googling each stamp but not much luck!
Well I have stuck a few on there now so will see what happens.
Another bid came in, so three items will sell, nothing finishing for another two days I think.

DinosaursHateUnderpants · 03/12/2010 07:36

Snowball, no worries, book on it's way to you now. Listed another Reichs book last night - the latest hardback Wink

Free listing this weekend and pretty much the last chance to list for last posting before Christmas. Going to get my finger out and finish listing everything we have left.

My 74 things are here

FrameyMcFrame · 03/12/2010 10:04

Tortoise, I've been reliably informed that the castle thingy is puppy in my pocket.Grin

Haven't found all the bits for the other things yet sorry, I've got poorly DD off school and now DS also come down with the lurgy and we've got 2 foot of snow up here! I'll be on to it soon though and get some photos too.

GruesomeShellChillingTortoise · 03/12/2010 10:13

Xmas GrinDD1 got that last Christmas, parts of it had broken off by the end of Christmas day! Hope your DC are better soon. We only have about 3 inches of snow!

I am going to have to get last bits listed this weekend. Not much to put on i don't think. Lots have gone unsold.

SNOWBall4girlz · 03/12/2010 18:43

Well I am off to iron and photo lots of stuff to get on over the weekend hope I find the lost camera lead or will be pics from my phone.
A couple of things have bids on already chuffed.

Just need to get more on ebay ....I have been outbid on your book already wil keep an eye on it :)

ShittySnowyDays · 04/12/2010 12:50

free listing on 4th and 5th ladies!

GruesomeShellChillingTortoise · 04/12/2010 16:41

I have been busy sorting items and have listed 17. Will edit later to test out the scheduling trick used on here lol! Grin

notcitrus · 04/12/2010 21:01

Have just listed another 7 items, including one relist (using the 'sell similar' to avoid charges!)

14 watchers on the stuff ending Monday.

GruesomeShellChillingTortoise · 04/12/2010 21:26

New listings! 32 items listed now!
May do a few more tomorrow. mainly soft toys and some Girls trousers left so not sure worth listing!

SNOWBall4girlz · 05/12/2010 10:40

DinosaursHateUnderpants · 05/12/2010 21:11

New Listings here Managed to get some more things on tonight, last of the Christmas toys, 6 more things to add on Tuesday night and I'm all done. I feel a massive sense of achievement finally. Plus added bonus is that we will have a spare room where we can see the floor, the bed and the windows!

Well done everyone, let's hope this last week is a good one :)

mogs0 · 05/12/2010 21:13

Just added Ds' ds. He wants to upgrade to a dsi. I'd put a BIN price on but someone has bid on it already so the BIN has gone.

I'm going to go and try to find a couple of Christmassy things to put on before I go to bed!

mogs0 · 05/12/2010 21:13

Oops, meant to add a link!!
