Anyone fancy a new challenge? £250 by Easter?

I'm not sure whether it's a bit early in the year for ebaying but I still have mountains of stuff to get rid of!!. Most of the over 99p stuff I had has sold but there is still a lot of things here that might be of interest to others.

After feeling a bit fed of ebay before Christmas I seem to have recovered a bit of enthusiasm for it again after receiving some lovely feedback on items that I didn't expect (I need to have more confidence in what I'm selling!!).

Anyone else want to join me?

Will definitely keep an eye on your listings EW . DD1 needs summer clothes in 7-8yrs!

ElizabethWakefield · 24/04/2010 18:10

Oh that's good, I'll try to get them sorted and listed tomorrow then, hopefully you will like some of it.

Here are my latest clear out bits,

Has anyone sold any Pc games - my MIL has given me a bag of them, there are some Lego ones are they worth listing?

rosteroo Look them up on completed listing. SOme may sell, others won't.

ElizabethWakefield · 26/04/2010 18:32

Worth a try roosterroo!

I am just about to star listing tonight, my plan is to do some tonight, some tomorrow and maybe some later on in the week to stagger it a bit.

ElizabethWakefield · 26/04/2010 19:46

Ok, have done tonight bundle

30 items on

Will maybe do some more tomorrow, but i have the fear of everything ending at once and having to get to the post office!!

ElizabethWakefield · 27/04/2010 09:51

Woohoo 3 bids

ElizabethWakefield · 28/04/2010 19:47

Listing more tonight although ebay keeps kicking me out

HellBent · 28/04/2010 19:55

I have listed some more tonight aswell, you are not alone elizabeth. Target is £1850 (yes that is right!) I need a whole new central heating system.

Will list more stuff later.

HellBent · 28/04/2010 19:56

Listed here

ElizabethWakefield · 28/04/2010 20:39

Wow, that is a big target to reach, hope you get there!

I have listed a few more things tonight, i also had to take one listing off as I noticed a mark on on of the tops, so i will take more photos and relist without it.

I have 40 things on dreading the trips to the post office!

HellBent · 28/04/2010 20:42

I made about £250 in the last few months but I am maybe being too optimistic. I am emptying my house as we speak!

Tortoise · 28/04/2010 21:21

I have some bits to list. Probably do them friday night. Just got all the last lot posted!

SNOWBall4girlz · 28/04/2010 22:21

no I am back too
lots to sell I am going to set them up tonight and put them on ebay tomorrow
good luck girls

ElizabethWakefield · 29/04/2010 12:54

Good luck to everyone!

I have 5 bids and watchers on at least half of my items, so i am quite please with that. I have £460 in my paypal account, so really pleased so far (although i have to split that with a friend as she provides half the stuff i have on!)

Tortoise · 29/04/2010 12:58

£460 in paypal is fab! How do you resist spending it?

I really need to pull out everything in the cupboard again and sort through it all. Hid it all in there over Christmas and it is all in a big mess.

Would love to make about £500 to help towards a summer holiday. Also need to get DD2 a 2nd hand DS for her birthday in July.

roosterroo · 29/04/2010 14:17

I have now listed the lego games if anyones interested and got DH to donate those Xbox games he never plays

ElizabethWakefield · 29/04/2010 15:47

I am going to Florida for 2 weeks in 11 weeks time, and I am struggling for spending money, that's what makes me not spend it!!

I also have a cupboard like that at the moment

ElizabethWakefield · 30/04/2010 20:56

Sold 5 items tonight for a total of £6.21, not the best really.

Have 15 things ending tomorrow, so will see how they go.

How is everyone else getting on?

Tortoise · 30/04/2010 22:14

Listed 12 items tonight.
Looky here!

Not a bad start EW. Fingers crossed for more bids.

roosterroo · 02/05/2010 17:49

Hi everyone hope your having a good long weekend..

Have some listings ending tonight - currently going to make £2.40 !

Some more here,here

Tortoise · 02/05/2010 18:11

roosterroo Hope you get some more bids .
I have1 bid so far but 5 days left yet!

ElizabethWakefield · 03/05/2010 18:43

Good luck you two!

I have 13 items ending tonight, 8 have bids, but all the others have watchers so I am hopeful.

Will need to go to the post office in stages this week as I have sold 15 things already this weekend!! I hate the post office part!

Tortoise · 04/05/2010 17:02

Good luck EW

I have 3 items with 1 bid. 3 days to go before they end. Most have 1 watcher!!

ElizabethWakefield · 05/05/2010 20:15

Your polly doll and fifi stuff seem to be doing ok, Tort, fingers crossed.

How is everyone else getting on?

I sold 23 things over the weekend, but lots only went for 99p so didn't make that much.

Have re-listed some of the things that didn't sell and added a few more on tonight, still have so much to get on, but the trips to the post office are really starting to annoy me!!

Here is tonight's lot!
