Selling stuff on eBay to raise cash

Im thinking of selling some of my junk on eBay to raise some cash, as my next pay packet covers the cost of fixing me bike (£300), and then what mum owes me can get me a new helmet (£150), and then I've got £500 stashed for the new bike, but I'm going to be a bit stuck until may for money. And then Ive got my exams on anyway so I might be giving in my notice.
Whats sellable and whats not? Ive got an original xbox I could sell if its worth the hassle. Got a couple of games for it. My friend made an absolute mint by selling copied CDs - several hundred pounds - but even if I could get away with it (and apparently its stupidly easy to) I wouldnt feel comfortable doing it . So. Old games? Books? DVDs? What sells well and what sells stupidly under its value?

My mum sells loads of stuff on ebay and makes quite a bit of cash. She always checks before she posts to see if there's any point.
Good luck :thumb:
anyone want the special edition of long way round on dvd for a tenner?
it seems so much hassle to put them on ebay, because I need to set up a sellers account and then set up paypal so im a premium user or something so I have to pay extra fees. iirc.
You don't have to have PayPal!
i did not bother with PayPal in the end. As you said, it is too much bloody hassle. Validate this, validate that grrr :banghead:
cars don'tseem to sell very well,my cars on now and there is no interest in it.little bits and bobs of crap seem to sell better for some reason.
The moral of this story will be anything will sell on ebay. (though we didn't because of driving license issues.)
I recently bought something off Ebay and the seller breached the rules or something and i have yet to receive my refund a month later so i am not an Ebay lover at the moment!!
Good luck x
Yeah, but once its done, its all over and its great ...
I made over £2k on ebay in a month. Don't do it anymore though.
Tell me your secret lol
I'll tell you now because they don't go for that much anymore.
...Designer taps (bathroom and kitchen, etc.) imported from China. Steep learning curve but well worth it while it lasted.
People used to pay £80-£200 for some designs that can be bought over there for about £30.
