OMG - my DVD finishes in just under one hour and someone has now bid £14 for - so that's £15.50 including p&p - £3 more that they could buy it (incluindg p&p) online!

My purchases arrivrd today, bought two dresses, a very hippified embroidered boho chic dress for £4.99 that my dd adores. Ana a very prim and proper marks and sparks party dress, navy polka dot with smocking. That was £4. Both real bargains.

Also by the time my own stuff had closed on ebay I had made £85, not bad as my ex bought all the clothes and I have an attic full of them. Almost makes up for the all the maintenance he hasn't paid.

hippy dress

I got a Gucci handbag for free. The seller sent me a different bag to the one I bid for. She gave me a refund (£35.00) but didnt ask for the bag back.

I have 2 tickets for the U2 concert at Twickenham that I am going to list soon. Hoping to make some money on them!

Twinset and pearls, I think you could have had a better pic for your dress you were selling - it looks blue rather than pink tbh.

Just got a lovely BNWT long pink going out skirt for 99p so that's my best up to now.

I sold two complimentary alton towers tickets (I had complained) for £70. It only cost £20 each to get in at the time and the papers were full of the buy one get one free deals. Thought it was a bit bizarre!

wow that is bizarre anchovies??

Exactly, they weren't special tickets or anything, just entry! I found out I was pg so put them on ebay, was the first thing I'd sold as well!

I have been buying and selling loads on ebay recently, it keeps me off mumsnet!

Just got a huge bundle of clothes for ds2, for £1, and felt so guilty I sent her some more money!!

Also have been dealing with some fab sellers, who keep giving me freebies.

Have bought some stuff which I didn't like that much and have sold them for a profit.

I am able to sell stuff for a lot more than if I took it to the 2nd hand shop, but I give my fair share to charity, etc. I don't bother listing things for £1

Thanks SueW (i think) I was photographing the dress in the evening and the dress isn't a garish pink, but a very delicate rose pink so it was really hard to get the colour across. The walls in my study are blue so maybe that effected the photo as well.

I have loads of clothes to sell so am thinking of buying a mannequin to model them on.

But it was my first attempt, and the clothes were just sitting there so i will not moan at £85+. We live and learn.

Brand new hoover - half price at £85
Double buggy - half price at £80, was hardly used and in impecable condition
Brand new shower - half price

Best sales - a folding bike at £720
Old gold jewellery that I never wore £150
£2.50 for a crappy paper shredder that was useless

An old cement mixer which worked but wouldn't win any beauty competitions

DH wanted to take it to the tip. But if someone wanted to pay me £1 to take it away that would be good.

Sold it for £80.00, they were fighting over it and the bloke turned up in a Vectra to take it away .

He came back again with a trailer!!!!

oooh I remember I bought an old viewfinder with very scratched pictures of Micheal Jackson the making of Thriller type of thing. Got it carboot for 10p to amuse dd - she was moaning about being bored.

Sold it on e bay for over £5 I seem to remember!

I sold a £100 Karen Millen voucher for £101 once postage and packing were added

Airfares to Australia from the UK for myself and DS during the financial downturn return cost £350 about 7 years ago...flying with Singapore Airlines!
