I just thought if everyones has it ending by at least March the 5th then we would have then all on our watch list...and see whos the winner late March 5th evening
So start anytime before that...

so a 5 day listing from 1st - 5th March sounds good to me.

Yep, but if you manage to find something before then you could work out when to put it on for a 7/10 day listing or if your late finding something 3 day listing

i'm hoping to find something good in charity shop but could it also be something worth about £1.50 knocking around the house, kids clothes for example?

MarsOnLife · 23/02/2006 19:16

I'm in!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CelluliteQueen · 23/02/2006 19:16

Definitely count me in - my local town is a right dump and there are hundreds of charity shops! (Moondog will vouch for that! ).

bubblerock · 23/02/2006 19:18

count me in - looking to improve

MarsOnLife · 23/02/2006 19:36

maybe I'll relist my book with some better pictures and see if I get a bite this time. Might list something else as back up though!

Posey · 23/02/2006 19:36

If I can find anything in our overpriced charity shops I will. Watched your last one with much interest!!

Yes definatly, I will hopefully do better as I now understand the costs for listing and paypal. I sold mine for 80p and lost 69p. The buyer hasn't paid up yet . How long should I give them before reminding?

Anyway I have done loads of reasearch and I will beat you all this time, game on!!!! .

Skribble · 24/02/2006 22:10

I will just have to get a digi camera to work. I have one that I can't find the charger for, DS's has just died for no reason and MIL's memory card is working plus I don't have the software.

You do realise I have now got a serious addiction and DS has banned me from his room in case I flog any of his stuff. I can't wait to get in the loft . It really gives you the incentive to de-clutter.

May try again but after losing the last one may have to have a good hunt although I do have quite a few things here I want to sell - is that allowed?

Mirage · 25/02/2006 20:56

I'm off to look for bargains tomorrow-if it doesn't rain like it has done for the last 2 Sundays.

cyan · 25/02/2006 20:57
