Early Spring Clean : Anyone for a 400 pounds by Easter challenge?

[Gameboy]

Was listening to a radio programme the other day about making money from your old things and it made me realise how much stuff I've got 'waiting to go on eBay'.

Just wondered if anyone fancied a challenge to see how much we can each make from selling the unwanted stuff we have by Easter. I reckon I could get to about ?400 maybe?

We'd have to share our eBay names, and then keep a running total of everything we sell between now and 31st March?

For simplicity's sake I'd suggest we just tot up the totals invoiced (incl. P&P)rather than the net profit IYSWIM?
To include only unwanted items - not trading of new goods etc....

I thought if it became competitive it might spur me into action more !

OK KATGZ - you have permission......

Have just listed a couple of pairs of maternity trousers, but I'll have to find some bigger stuff to compete with some of the things being mentioned here!

Kaz i thought id put a couple of bits on MN too...linked to this thread of course lol

katzg - just seen your ebay item. Just what dh would like, so I'll be bidding on it!!!

whee! I'm joining in! I've just finished a listing ( I generally put a wodge of stuff up once a month or so, but I've just put a bundle of boys clothes and a denby veg dish up.

must have a good scavenge!

I'm violet*dirge on ebay.

wrigglejiggle - which one?

Hi Just had another clear out of the spare room and listed some more stuff! So far a couple of bids

This is excellent work folks - can't wait til we start getting some £££ totals in

LOL at you lot!!! We are hoping to build an extension this year and have SOO much "tat" to clear out!!!

I set myself an aim at the beginning of the year to get £20 per month in my Payal a/c.

Was rather excited as even though I have only listed a few items so far- yesterday I got just over £10 on DDs Snow White costume!!! YIPPEEE...have now broken my £20 goal.

Really need to get to grips with this but I will tag along for the fun of it if that is OK- don't expect to get anywhere near £100- let alone £400....

have nothing listed at moment though!!!

£65 buggy
£20 books
£7.50 DVD

getting there!

well hymn book now up to £25 - no bids on my other stuff yet........

just to say it is a 10p listing day this Thursday so only 10p - list particularly the more expensive items you have and save!!!!!!!!!

but note it's only a BUY IT NOW 10p listing day....so unless you're sure it'll sell for the price you're putting don't risk it .

Now have bids on 2 of my items - £25.50 and counting

Ooh, can I join? I have a whole bunch of jewellery I want to list along with some kiddy clothes and cds. My name is saskias_treasures.

katzg - PS2 Gametrak motion system with Real World Golf game

Will try and get somethings listed this Thursday then. My ebay name is Monstermunchcrunch
