Re: Challenge: Sell things from your room before uniI'm in! Even though i'm not going uni there still a ton of tat i need to get rid of before the end of summer.(Original post by petparadise123)
Who else needs to sell a lot of stuff before they leave for uni? Anyone want to join me in a challenge to see how much we can make? -
Re: Challenge: Sell things from your room before uniWell done! Any tips on where to start? Im not worried about selling too much, could always buy things again if i needed anyway(Original post by Elwyn)
I did this last year and made close to £1000.
Although I would advise you to think hard about what you sell. I finished uni a few weeks back and now have an empty room with a bed to keep me occupied until october.
Good luck! I also have tons of books, and realised I'll never read them all before uni even if i read 3 a day from now until I leave!(Original post by RandomPeopleDancin)
I'm selling rubbish this weekend; once I finally turn 18 tomorrow I can use my own ebay account. Not going to uni but need some more space for my A2 textbooks...
Got enough books to sink a battleship. -
Re: Challenge: Sell things from your room before uniI'm glad I'm not the only one! Tried to find a revision textbook to return to the sociology department this morning and created an avalance in my bedroom.(Original post by petparadise123)

Mum won't be pleased as she has only just hooved in there the other day...
I might get them all read if I read 3 a day, but since half on them are 'The Princess diaries' from when I was a kid, I'll doubt I'll find them that riveting.
At least as I have my Kindle, I shouldn't really need to buy any books in hard format for a while.
But the books are just half the problem...over the years I have managed to hoard around 5 bin-bags full of stuffed animals. I need to sort them out; which to keep & which to go, but I did that once when I was 10 and found that there was only one I could give away and that was only because the stuffing was coming out and its eye was loose (old bear that has wood for stuffing and eyes on stalks). I'm a sucker for them
And I'm too attached to let them all go...

Sold my PS3 and some stuff to MusicMagie, made £170
Going to see what I can put on e-bay
Not to musicmagpie
Surely they don't give you a good price -
Re: Challenge: Sell things from your room before uniThe curse of ebay(Original post by TheDustyKid)
Does anybody else feel like they're buying more stuff on eBay than they're selling?
