I just sold the Subway bike I got for $50 for $85.00. I reckon I could have gotten more but I just wanted it out of the garage before we move so I put a Buy It Now on it and I'm really chuffed.

Now I've just got to sell the kids clothes I've listed and my cupboards will look a lot tidier and I'll have made enough money to buy a nice pair of curtains for the new pad

I have a load of stuff I have to ebay. Children's clothes they've outgrown and loads of nice clothes from my fat days... which are now gone forever.
I have a load of mini Boden clothes... age 3,5,7 etc ... they always go like hot cakes over here.

I love selling on eBay. I've regularly sold on Gymboree, Pumpkin Patch, Gap etc and made a tidy profit. That's probably the only reason my OH actually doesn't go mad when I buy them so many clothes as he knows I look after them and sell on whatever I can.

BTW - well done you on losing the fat clothes forever

Thank you honey. I have a beautiful Windsmoor suit that I can't let go of though. I'm going to have it altered because it's so beautiful.
My sis sent me a suit from the UK the other day - Planet - and I tried it on... thought the trousers were a little tight, and it turns out that they were a size 10... ha ha. A few more pounds and I'll be a stick insect.

Do you list your clothes by item on ebay? I see a lot for sale in a bundle but thought you wouldn't get much that way.

It really depends on the quality as to whether I list seperately or not. If it's just stuff that's too good to throw away but it's maybe Target/Asda etc then I would bundle it as you wouldn't get much individually.

However, if it's Next, M&S, Gap, Gymboree, Junior J etc then I usually sell it sererately. The beauty of that is that so long as you atart with low starting prices, they usually get bids, and often buyers will buy more than one item as they get the postage a bit cheaper.

It seems to work. Good luck with it

I just sold a couple of Mini Boden dresses to US Ebayers - one went for $47. Just bought one of the same Boden dresses from an Aussie Ebayer for $15 (inc postage) and just sold to the US for $45. All good fun!

OMG! That's pretty funny. I'll make sure they're available to the US then!

We recently pulled out all the carpets, underlay, an old vanity unit & a leaky dishwasher. We had a couple of people that where happy to pick them up for free, and so we would be rid of it all.

Three months later, the stuff was still here, so I put an ad on Ebay.

$250 starting price, $500 buy it now. Sold it within 5 hours for $500 !!!

The guy collected it a few days later, and was over the bloody moon with it.

Definitely made my day. I've been searching the house since for more stuff to go on ebay.

Glad to see ebay is going well over there . I have been on since the beginning & have over 500 feedback

If its that good i may wait to sell everything when i get there as opposed to selling it for nowt over here

I love buying on ebay

Got Rachel a beautiful sylvanian families house with loads of stuff for £40!!!
its gorgous and i looked in gamleys for sylvanian families houses and although they didnt have this one..the cheapest was £80.

also got Harvey a playmobil fire engine with loaaaaads of extras, the lights work, the pump and hose works...it has an axe!! (we walked round a bootfair the other day and Harv saw a tool stall with a real axe and begged for it...;hmmmm a 4 year old wielding an axe................i dont think so )
I got the fire engine for £29 wicked......it would be worth far far more then that in the shops.


Love it.

500 feedback - pah, you're just a beginner, come backwhen you've over a 1000 lol. Only joking.

eBay here is still a way behind the UK in terms of the numbers of items available but it is still a thriving community.

As for your plan to sell everything when you get here, I'm not so sure that's wise

eBay's gret for that kind of thing isn't it? A friend of mine bought her daughter a huge Fisher Price dolls house complete with all the furniture etc and got it at a bargain price. She'd actually owned the same thing back in the UK and in the pre emigration clear up had given it away much to daughter's disgust lol.

In terms of what I've got listed right now, the Vertbaudet item is getting a LOT of interest in terms of watchers so I might stock up on a few bits of their stuff and see how it goes.

I am an ebay addict, especially for gymboree...... in fact I used to sell a lot of mine to someone called herr chook wonder if they are one and the same......?

OOMMGGGG, I remember you - I've bought loads of stuff from you and it's always been lovely. I'm shocked - it's a small world indeed lol.

Got anything for sale at the moment?

i've been getting my plants off ebay for the garden.

Now the dog has gone i can start to get it in a presentable state ready to sell.

only thing is, i'm spoilt for choice
