While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.' -
Never even looked at ebay.
the cleaner in work is a real fan though, she loves it. So I bring stuff in and she sells it and give me half the dough. She raves about it

Oddly enough yes. I've been looking into building a product review site.
Garden machinery mainly. Idea is to buy something off eBay, publish a review on my site complete with a video of yours truly demoing the product and then sell it back on eBay.
Idea is to generate money from affiliate links.Comment

What kind of items were they.Originally posted by cailin maith View PostI love eBay - I had a massive clearout recently and managed to make a fair few quid

I've tried mini-clearouts, about a dozen items, but only one or two items ever sell.
End up having to re-list the items a few weeks later.
Planning on having a big clearout in the coming weeks.Comment

Is that kind of a genial suburban English version of Girls With Guns? And will you be smoking a pipe during your demonstrations? That would definitely put the value of the videos up.Originally posted by pacharan View PostComment

Me neither, but I reckon I could make tens of thousands selling my 3000+ (physical) books, which I rarely look at, and other assorted knick knacks I've bought in junk shops over the years.Originally posted by EternalOptimist View PostNever even looked at ebay.

I mean for a start, the Yanks will pay for rocks, and I have a bag of interesting seaside pebbles somewhere. One or two even have holes through them.
The trouble is the postage, and buying jiffy bags, would take a huge chunk out of the profit, not to mention the time arsing about checking your listings and posting the goods (and the thought of HMR&C wanting a piece of the action, the parasites).

Clothes mostlyOriginally posted by Clippy View Post
I'm going to have a shoe and handbag clear out soon - that will be traumatic but I'm sure I'll pull through 
Old DVD's too that we have changed for Blue Ray's.
The trick is to start stuff at 99p when it's free to list them and you'd be suprised how quick they stuff goes up. I'm always astounded at the stuff that goes for more than I expect, obviously some stuff will go for 99p but not much.
As doodab mentioned, I've sold stuff that doesn't work and just made it clear in the listing, I guess people buy stuff like that to tinker with. Old electronic stuff etc.Bazza gets caught
