Summer Ebay Challenge!!! Shall we try for another £300?

I need motivating to de-clutter and make my bank account look a bit healthier!!! I've got loads of bags and boxes packed with car-boot stuff that didn't sell the other week so might start with that and list those things at 99p just to make a bit of space.

Anyone with me? Shall we set the deadline for end of Summer term (about the 18th July here)?

SNOW Sorry your listings didn't sell. Sometimes things do sell after re-listing.

I have lots without watchers and just 4 will sell so far but 8 bids over those 4 items.

Listing more Friday. Getting into it now.

Tortoise · 08/05/2009 17:18

Oh yes, i had forgotten that lol!
Have some more bids now but still 5 items selling.

TheOtherMaryPoppinsDiets · 08/05/2009 18:12

hello all, been very slack, could blame it on being busy but in reality I'm just being slatternly

I have listed the Bugaboo Frog, getting lots of questions and stupid insulting offers, so hopeing that'll go soon.

I STILLLLLL! need to dig out the PS2.

Also considering putting my GHDs on and using a cheaper pair instead as they go for about £50 which would be useful.

TheOtherMaryPoppinsDiets · 08/05/2009 18:13

oh and I tried to list a Maxi Cosi and some bug car seat adaptors earlier then Auctiva crashed on me ffs. SO have those to redo.

FlappytheBat · 08/05/2009 19:35

Might consider selling my ps2, don't have many games and haven't used it for ages - do however, have a lot of singstar games to go with it for those who fancy themselves as a karaoke queen/king!

Tortoise · 08/05/2009 19:38

Think i will list our faulty playstation tonight.
I bet those sing star games are fun flappy. I think if it was me i would sell them all individually.

bubblerock · 08/05/2009 19:43

I love singstar (am very crap, but it's good fun, especially when pished)

FlappytheBat · 08/05/2009 19:49

I love singstar too, I suddenly turn into the worlds best singer after a few drinks

actually loathe to sell it as really enjoy singing along but could always save up and a buy a ps3!!

FlappytheBat · 08/05/2009 19:52

royal mail have surpassed themselves, posted all items on wed, 2nd class and 2nd class recorded, one of the items arrived the next again day!!!

just goes to show that you don't have to use 1st class post!

Aims Those shoes are so cute! I immagine they would be hell to do up on a child though.

Good luck.

Sold a few bits tonight. Not got round to listing though. Put off a bit by the amount of unsold bits.

A whole £15.54!
I know it is better than nothing but not going to raise much money at this rate!

SNOWBall4girlz · 09/05/2009 10:28

unsold stuff is disappointing but then it normally sells second time round

listed more last night every sale counts though

three weeks til I can do a car boot as dh is working weekends

kidcreoleandthecoconuts · 09/05/2009 10:28

Hi all

Can I join you? I'm an ebay virgin and have just listed my first items for sale over the last few days. I havent a clue what I'm doing TBH !
I have also defeated the object of making any money and won an auction for a top yesterday . Can I ask what I should do now? I watched the auction end and then paid by paypal. I havent heard anything from the seller though we did have contact regarding postage during the auction. Should I have waited for an invoice before paying? Sorry for the hijack guys!

Tortoise · 09/05/2009 13:27

Is it better for listings to end in the evening?
Was going to put some on Turbo lister but can't get it to work on the laptop.

NervousNutty · 09/05/2009 13:41

I so need to join this thread and make some money.

I am silly cos I end up normally giving stuff away to people when I couold sell it on ebay. Have recently given away a pair of timberland boots in fab condition, a practically brand new Gap jacket and a lot of Next clothing.

Will start making a list of what I have. I know I have some Guides and Brownies stuff to put on.
