I once got a brand new Robbie williams biography for 10p with £1.50 postage and it cost the person selling it £4.10 to post it second class.

I bought a really good camera for 50p.  I just wanted a non-digital that my son could take on scout camp and it takes brilliant photos - autofocus etc etc.

How about selling?  My sister bought a set of grapefruit spoons from a charity shop for 20p and sold them for £45!

  You've got to know what you're looking for though.  My son wants an ipod and I'm not sure about buying that from ebay

I have converted my boyfriend as well.



He likes Diesal jeans and they are £100-£150 in the shops. He has brought 2 jeans now for around £15 each.



This weekend he won some D&G jeans for £15.00 and there RRP is £150.



I do agree what you have to know what you are looking for as you can't really take it back like you can in the shops.

Yes that's what bothers me with something like an ipod that could go wrong.


I got my son some Billabong jeans a while ago for £1

Do you use Paypal?  I think that makes it even better as I used to fiddle about posting cheques.  I don't accept Paypal though.
