Bubblerock started this with her DH, and thought it might be good to do a MN one.
You have till Monday the 13th of FEB to find something in a charity shop for £1.50 or under...We will list them, link them and see who wins

fastasleep · 05/02/2006 21:03

I'm guessing I can't do what I usually do which is buy lots of 20p beaded necklaces, take them apart, make something new... and sell it on?

mistressmiggins · 05/02/2006 21:03

Lol I do! Was one of my last 'ideas'...

I now have a new top secret jewellery 'idea' which is very hush hush and involves buying books I haven't got yet

colditz · 05/02/2006 21:09

Does it have to be our account or can we use someone elses? I don't have and don't want a sellers account but my dad will let me use his.

bubblerock · 05/02/2006 21:10

Shall we say items must be listed by midnight on Monday 13th

Listing fees no more than 40p

7 day listing

£1.50 maximum - doesn't matter what you buy.

Post a link on this thread

Whoever makes the most profit is the winner.

No cheating - getting your mates to bid.

Anything else???

No spending £15 quid putting your item on Ebays Home Page then

Katz, you can pick how you show your item so you pay more for having a gallery picture and showing more than one piccie etc...

chjlly · 05/02/2006 21:15

I'll give it a go but my things never seem to sell

GeorgieVickyLou · 05/02/2006 21:17

If i can get to a Charity Shop i'll play. This could be the most excitment i'll get this year

bubblerock · 05/02/2006 21:17

When you list your item you can add all sorts of things to make it sell better - a regular listing starting at £1.50 with a photo shouldn't cost anymore than 40p.

I would place the listing on Ebay between 7pm -10pm on Monday 13th it will then finish 7 days later at the same time. Then we can keep an eye on them finishing - which is the best bit usually.
