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 !

total here INCLUDING p&p so far....

£348.98!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just sold my GHD Mini Styler for £61! Means I can now buy the next size up lol!

Only another £51.02 to go!!! WOO HOO (lets hope my 2 buggies sell, and ill be there!)

WOW Jarm that's fantastic - well done you

JArm

Paypal account now stands at £50.03

The greenhouse now has nearly 40 watchers and over 500 people have viewed it

Got viewings of it from 10 tomorrow morning...

So hopefully it will sell on Sunday. Will sort out some kids clothes over the seekend to put on too. Also have a BUmpo somewhere...

btw well done to jarm go girl !!

jarm YOU ARE A SHING EXAMPLE TO US ALL!
whhoops sorry about caps

lol

Amazing what you can do when you go through the amount of RUBBISH in your house!

Im shocking myself actually! Thing is we packed up a lot of our stuff in September when we thought we would be moving, never unpacked it, and didnt miss anything we packed away, so the boxes are being sorted into

A) SERIOUSLY SENTIMENTAL

B) SERIOUSLY USEFUL

C) EBAY

D) FREECYCLE

Ive just sold some thunderbird toys for £30.81 as I forgot about this thread. Can I join in now?

Well, so far I'm on £92.30. I've also sold two other items for £110, but those people haven't paid yet. And my current items are up to about £28, I think. So I'm quite pleased - although our boiler broke this week, so I've had to promise the first £200 I make to help towards the repair cost.

My trip to the posh hairdresser's might have to be put back a bit!

But well done JARM, blimey, your kids must be frightened of standing still too long in case you start getting ideas about them....

LOL Satine - the thought did cross my mind!!

Any interest in a 2.6yr old female with enough energy to put an olympic athlete to shame and a 1.3yr old female also know as little miss self-harm who is no longer safe in a cot and eats more than an average adult...... go on, place your bids ROFL (I am joking before anyone reports me)

No further forward this afternoon - except have cleared out another load of stuff to list tomorrow on 7 day auction..... probably another £50/£60 worth of stuff!

I am a serial hoarder!

Just one question............. I have a 5 disc limited edition trilogy of the Lion King, they are selling for a minimum of £60 at the moment - do I or dont I?!

Jarn I dont know if we should be talking to you stil!!
How long do you normally place things on auction for as you seem to have the money rolling in? Do you do alot of Buy It nows?
Im up to £74 odd on my current selling items and loads of people watching stuff - they end 2mrow and monday so hope they sell! So thats about £106 in total so far plus postage.
Mind you I SPENT money on ebay today!! I bought a baby heartbeat listening device (whilst in your womb) for £11 inc p & p!!

sorry i meant *Jarm**!!

Jarm You aredoing great!

My 1st few items are ending in a few hours. So far 3 items will sell total price (without p & P) is £6.98! Wow!!

Is anyone in the same situation as me where you are really skint and struggle to afford to post items? Can't transfer from Paypal until over £50 so have to find the money out of benifits! Lots to list but put off by finding money for postage.

At least some have sold.

I ask for cheques and postal orders only - that way I get the cash staright away...

I noticed one seller asked for a bankers draft or postal orders - but dont both options COST the buyer??
