Over the last year or so, I've put a few different things up on ebay, with a complete lack of success.

Recently I was clearing out my wardrobe and at the back of one of the shelves found a little bag full of different coins which had been my father's - had totally forgotten I had them. So a week ago last Friday, I sat down, researched some of them very carefully, looked at how they were entered on ebay, and put up a Victorian shilling, a Victorian crown and four Kennedy half dollars. The shilling sold for €30, the crown for €21.50 and the half dollars for €12.50 It's been fun watching them and this morning I've been busy wrapping them carefully and am just off to the post office to post them now - that's a few bob that will come in handy There are a few more coins left, so I might have a go with them as well

Well done Rosie, it must make you feel pretty good when that happens.

But.....

I don't "get" eBay. I want a new TV and found just the job on eBay - right screen size, features etc. I did a quick look round the Internet to see what sort of price I would pay, and put in a cheeky bid, as you do. The auction ends this evening and the bids are already near to the Internet price, and that's before the £12 postage is added.

I have just been back to the "store" and the version on offer is the new one with all mod cons - Samsung. Guess where my money is going?

Oh well done.

I've never used e-bay either - and when we move (if ) we have a lot of stuff to get rid of.

Oh well done Osc, I remember you said you hadn't managed to sell anything before
I guess collectors stuff would be instantly popular.

Oh great result Osc

Well done Osc

Brilliant result Osc!

Joe was happy last week as he wanted to sell his old iPod and said that a friend had said that if he wanted to sell it he'd buy it for £30. I suggested he tried selling it on Ebay first, having looked at the prices they were selling for, so we listed it and he got £77 for it!

I really must spend some time learning how to do ebay properly
