One Man's Junk is Another Man's Treasure

eBay - depending on how you view it, it's either the scourge of the 21st century or the saviour of our recession bitten pockets!

Personally in our house, we love it. Himself is in the shed, making shelves, and generally having a good old sort out, so consequentally has found a myriad of junk....errr bits of treasure... From old motorbike parts, some fenders and even a once lost sink off a narrowboat... tonight will see me cleanign all these ready to photograph and sell on.

I, on the other hand, have been in my jewellery and make-up drawers to find bits and bobs of unused stuff. Last week I sold a bag of Jessica Nail Polishes for £6.50 on the site. OK this is not much but hey they were all 2nd hand (and listed as such so no nasty surprises for a buyer!!) I never used them any more and £6.50 is better than a drawer full of tat ...I mean treasure for someone...

Plus all those £4's, £3's and £6.50's add up, a few months ago I draw £100 out of my eBay account to put in the holiday savings fund!

All I can say is - if you've not become an eBayer yet - give it a go!! You do end up walking round the house wondering what you can sell though....beware Himself...do not stand still for too long!
