33) Sell five things on eBay

I've been buying things on eBay for years. I think pretty much since I met my husband in 2005 trying to find him nutty little gifts such as bizarre Halifax Town memorabilia or Panini World Cup football albums. No he has been appreciative of most of these things.....

But never sold anything. Keep talking about it, never quite got round to it. Money on eBay was all one way traffic. I've lined plenty of other bank accounts but never balanced it with money back to mine. The intention was good, I've put things aside to sell, heck we even moved house with a box of 'items for eBay', but never quite got round to listing things.

So it seemed a fairly sensible thing to put on the list. I know there's a game of chance that someone (or five somebodies) may actually like the same mad stuff that I do, but I thought priced relatively attractively that someone might bite. Well take a nibble.


Well they did! From a gift from an ex boyfriend 10 years ago, to a scarf previously bought for my son on eBay, I have achieved five sold items. As you can see I haven't made stacks of cash, but I have managed to rid ourselves of things we no longer needed, or wanted in the house (well I haven't wanted a lot of ex boyfriend stuff for a while but I knew someone would buy it!) and I've loved watching the things mount up, seeing people make their bids and now I just need to wait until my funds are released. And then of course, spend it straight back on eBay......
