Yes ill join you-I joined Ebay a week ago to raise some funds for DD's new bedroom-carpet, curtains and black out blind. So far have raised £140 but still got some items to sell on there and still got some stuff up in loft!

It's very very addictive

Eddas · 25/09/2008 08:00

I have loads I could sell. ooo very tempting to join you!

i'd love a Wii

geordieminx · 25/09/2008 08:03

Dp and I have made £500 in the past 2 weeks -I dont think we have anything left to sell.... well perhaps a kidney each?

fakeblonde · 25/09/2008 09:39

I sold a bed, a DS game, and a change bag. Not bad seeing as the change bag was a present so clear profit there

Thinking of selling our travel system but not sure...also about to put DP's punch bag on, and waiting for my sewing machine to sell-starting bids at £60.

Would be nice to come on here for advice regarding selling too-have started lots of threads and feel like im annoying people

I would also love a Wii!!!!!!

wheres everyones stuff then? I have spent this morning listing these bras and others that were on the sale rail in marks.
Ebay have MASSIVELY put up the fees for buy it now/shops.
Whats the cost of an auction at say 8.99 these days?

Nemoandthefishes · 26/09/2008 13:02

oh yes I will join to..might make me sort out the load of girls clothes currently making a mountain in my bedroom

malfoy · 26/09/2008 13:04

is it worth selling clothes?

Nemoandthefishes · 26/09/2008 13:07

I intend to stick mine on in bundles as they are 95% next and young girls clothes which seem to sell ok.

MascaraOHara · 26/09/2008 13:07

I will be so gutted to see it go. I love it but needs must and all that.

fakeblonde · 26/09/2008 13:13
