OMG! Ebay Madness!
« Reply #30 on: September 01, 2007, 08:10:32 »
Went to a car boot bought a camera tripod for £6
Sold the remote focus bit from it for £56, when the bloke paid me asked if I had any other stuff?
Sold the tripod for £750
And he paid the carrage!
So bought our selves a £2000 caravan, in the right place at the right time for £750.
I love Ebay but havent done much lately, need to motorvate my self, But I am doing an auto jumble at the weekend, so hopefully should be good?
I find it pays for all the bits you cant justify spending the family cash on like motor bikes and off roaders

Dont you find that for some reason ebay money isnt like real money so it gets spent faster :)

I must confess the the activities of the UK governments for the past couple of years have been watched with frank admiration and amazement by Lord Vetinari. Outright theft as a policy had never occured to him.

Bought latex dog grooming mits from wilkos for approx £1.99, sold on ebay as "latex fetish spanker mits" for £14 - 18.  Managed a few sets a week for months but ebay kept removing them in the end.  Not acceptable apparently, no sense of humour more like!

Thats a fab idea
Bloke near me bought some limited edition Marmite ( Guinness I think)
Added 60p to the price he paid, charged £3 P+P, sold 50-60 per day for a few weeks till Morrisons had none left

I did here a tale of a woman who goes to the local shoe shops and buys Stillettos size 8 and above for buttons as the shop dont sell many, they even save them for her now.
Takes them home gets a photo of her hubbys big fat hairy leg in them and sells them for cross dressers at a vast profit, just goes to show there is an bum for every seat.  :lol:

Hehe I can well believe that!  A the time I was selling the "spankers" I also sold a run of cheap studded dog collars and basically anything I could find that was made of latex.  The missus used to hate it when I dragged her round town on a saturday shopping for something I could redescribe and sell to fetish folk.  Plus she reckoned the guy in the pet shop was starting to recognise me lol
