Ebay = Maybe Money

I've just put 34 things up on Ebay and I still have a bunch more to do... But I'm leaving those until this lot is done. I hope I sell them all, the money would come in REALLY handy, I'm planning on putting it towards my Moving Back Home Fund. Clothes, Shoes, Handbags, some DVDs... All on there. Next lot is some more clothes, some books, some random crap I have floating around like unclaimed birthday presents and stuff. *Crosses fingers* I need this stuff to sell! And I've not been silly with the pricing either... Modest I think. It's tempting to sell all of my books and DVDs but I know I'd just have to buy them all again some other time so it seems silly. Although it would make moving a damn sight easier. I'm thinking about it. We'll see how this lot goes and I'll weigh the pros and cons. You never know. I could sell enough stuff to make a HUGE dent in my HUGE debt. If I got a job that would be cool two cos I'd have two lots of money coming in. Stuff I've sold and pay. But I'm not getting my hopes up cos I doubt it'll happen. At least I'm being proactive about it and trying to raise money.

Ten days and I know if this plan has worked! Lol. MONEY!!!

  1. Hello random person who appeared when I clicked 'Next Blog'.

    Just thought I'd wish you good luck in selling your ebay items. I also need to get rid of loads of my cds/dvds/random crap as it's on my '196 item To Do List' but i've never sold anything on ebay before but strangely I get even more excited at the prospect of selling when I read other people doing it and making money money money!

    Fingers crossed for you! :)

  2. Hey random commenter!

    Ebay's pretty easy to sell with, but over the time I've used it I've had 50/50 luck on things selling, and they do charge a small fee just to list items. You've just got to hope that you've got what people want! I also tend to end up with less money because I spend what I just earned on more stuff I don't need but want. I guess that's the way they like it! Lol.

    Chuck a few things on there and see how you go! You never know, you could end up making the money money money!

  3. I keep getting an email from ebay telling me they have free listing days so my target is to abuse that and list everything...well, not everything, I don't think my mum would be too happy if she ended up on ebay. I mean, she's a nice person, a great cook n'all but I think she might get a bit of shock if I end up trying to stuff her into a jiffy bag.

    I know for a fact that I'll do something similar to what you do. For example, I traded in a computer game (Call of Duty), i'll get peanuts for it and spend it on yummy sweets or something silly. A few months later, I'll have the urge to play the computer game again and end up buying the same game I sold. Meh! Oh well, I haven't learnt my lesson so I guess I shouldn't worry about it :)

  4. Some lessons are boring!

    I was tempted to sell my sister on Ebay but I found out they've got a rule against it. Pretty sure you can sell yourself though...

  5. Unfortunately no one can afford me. I'm one of a kind, unique, different and a tiny bit weird. Not even Bill Gates could afford me...

  7. Bill, don't listen to her. I can buffer your shoes, give you high fives on request, I love you and Windows.

    Psst...I think she might even prefer Apple.
