Thread 2 - Raise £350 by Christmas

[Seabright]

We are up to 1000 posts on the other thread, so thought I'd start a new one. And also because as of today my feedback rating is 1000 & I now have a red star

Please keep posting, I love this thread; it's so friendly and interesting!

Woo Hoo!! £18 for the Lelli Kelly boots!!

£10.50 for the minnie mouse shoes
£14.00 for snowsuit
£11.50 build a bear hello kitty
Lots unsold but some good results!

£2.39 for Spyro! Probably due to crap picture which i hadn't noticed before tonight!

Gah! la la la la la la la la la!

£9.58 for me tonight! It's still £9.58 I wouldn't have had and all items that had been relisted, some a few times though so it is still a

None of my items are ending tonight but I have spent a bloomin fortune on buying Christmas playmobil . I have finally got a sleigh and reindeer after being outbid on at least 10 in the last couple of weeks...and it was cheaper than I have bid previously...and it came with lots of other bids that I will re-list as I didn't need them...

What pm advent calendar did you have to throw out Mogs? The one you listed?

Playmobil is totally addictive - you have to be very, very careful. It is too easy to click, click, click away...

Total for tonight minus fees £126.40!
£66 plus postage spent on playmobil house won yesterday! Oops!

I'm trying to get Christmas playmobil items too. I especially want the light up Christmas tree!

Carrots - my boiler leaked onto my Christmas decorations and my ds' 2 year old pm calendar was at the top of the pile. It was all mouldy and water-damaged . The one I listed was the newer version which I wasn't as keen on as it wasn't as re-usable as the older ones. I'm watching loads at the moment but they go for so much money.

Tortoise - great total! Which PM house have you got? I seem to have a selection of Christmas trees at the moment. I'll be sorting out all the PM to be listed this week if you're interested?

Awww Mogs

Grrr .... bad night! Only sold 3 of 11 items. I really must be listing the wrong type of stuff!!

On a positive note, the cake tin that a potential buyer asked me to put a BIN on .... well, I said £15 and asked her to let me know if she wanted it on at that price. Didn't hear a peep and it sold for £29!!!!!!!!! eBay is crazy sometimes! Have cleared the £300 Mark and after much procrastinating I'll have on last stab at the buggy on the next free-listing weekend and put it on for UK courier delivery.

Mogs It's the suburban house. Interested in any playmobil bits you have .
Mainly DS2 to sort, he is the most difficult! Keeps asking for £80 scooter!

this one

The pm house looks great fun. Dd has the old version of the mansion. She has asked for more floors for it this year and staircases for Christmas so it is still a winner at nearly 11 years old

Millie sounds like a great night with £29 on one item That is fantastic!

I just keep relisting and the stuff seems to go eventually.

Carrots I've just been trying to find extensions for the house but not having much luck.

A good night here, I sold my Frugi breastfeeding top for £12.91, even with three small holes in it (clearly stated in listing & photographed.)

Just gearing up to list ten or so children's XBox games. My paypal balance had hit £130 :) but went a little happyland mad in the ELC 20% off sale today & spent £60. I am trying to resist the temptation to start looking at happyland stuff on eBay!

Carrots: roughly where in the UK are you? I have some stuff i'd be happy to donate for your charity, obviously this only really works if I could drop it off to you.

Tortoise I got them from the Playmobil website this page

Is the house you have bought there?

toobreathless I am in Scotland. I doubt very much I would be close by but you never know. It's a very kind offer If not I am sure there will be a charity local to you that would be very grateful.

Carrots Thanks can't see it there. Think its been discontinued.

Oh no! But surely it will pop up on ebay Do you need it by Christmas or can you watch and wait?

I hope so. No, not needed by Christmas. Something I can add to over time I think.

All 3 items sold have been paid for and are now posted. I think that is a record. I usually have one thing hanging around waiting for payment. Yay!

Only one watcher on my new list though.

Lots of unsold stuff yesterday - looks like model-making is out of fashion or all the middle-aged men dreaming of their Airfix-obsessed youth already have bought all the ones they want. Ditto some out-of-print books that would have made at least £10 each a couple years back, and stamps with no interest at all. Two items went though.

Phone bloke has agreed to removal of neg though, so at least I'll get my 250 new coloured star. On £200ish here - fish tank with 34 watchers ends tonight. I predict 2 bids, one at the start price only, so that will be about £51 I hope. I haven't seen a bidding war for months.

My parents have just delivered some boxes of children's books I haven't seen since I was 9 and we moved abroad! However despite some being immaculate first editions of Enid Blyton (no dj though) none seem to be worth more than 99p so I think the charity shop will get them...

nocitrus I have boxes and boxes of books. I have listed a few but just keep relisting and relisting - no one seems to buy. I was told on this thread that if you can make up bundles they sometimes sell better eg bundles of Malory Towers etc . Our pta are having a book sale soon so I might give mine to that. You could also contact local second hand book shops, if you have any, and see if they are interested. Sometimes it is good to give to charity. I am doing less of it now I ebay so feel I should do something for them still.

Not citrus: very, very interested in your Enid Blyton, do you have a link to your listings?

Carrots: you are about as far away from me as you could get :) I am in Hampshire. Oh well.
