My wife keeps nagging about all my 'Junk 'in the garage and threatens to get a skip and get rid of it. I always laugh and suggest I will have a go at clearing it.
Over the past couple of years I have had 4 proper sessions on ebay, whereby I get my mind around it and set to creating listings. As a rule I don't like doing it, as it's boring. But all I need to do is look at my Paypal a/c to remind me why I'm doing it.
My 1st stint raised around £1200 and my current campaign (3 months) has brought in £1500+ at this point, and counting.
The problem is the amount of 'Junk' I have cleared wouldn't fill a dustbin as it was all quality junk .. (that's why I saved it in the first place).
None the less I shall soldier on photographing, describing and listing.
It does pay off eventually.
My daughter started listing her clothes and shoes on ebay, the vast majority were either unworn with labels on, or worn once or twice...What a nightmare !
It seems that women's clothes bring out the worst in people. She had so many items that had cost her a small fortune that went for a couple of pounds or less and lot's that ..'weren't received'.. involving giving refunds.
I don't want to hear anyone asking '' Didn't she record them''.. If you have ever tried to claim off Royal Mail, you will know why it isn't worth bothering.
If you have loads of clothes you don't wear, either do a car boot sale ... or for an instant effect, take them to a clothes bank where they will weigh them and usually pay 50p a kg ... no photograghs, listing, packaging and posting etc.
But remember what you think is Junk, other people will deem to be collectible and therefore have a value. If you have anything old or vintage just type it into google or ebay and you will see what they are currently going for... you will be very surprised what others collect !
My wife want's to know what I am going to do with the £1500+ ...
...'nothing to do with you'.. I say !
I'm not all bad .. I have allowed her to start looking for a holiday in Fuerteventura !
