Hmm.....conflicting posts in here now lol......damn, makes thing a little harder!
With going out - I can't afford fuel anymore so will only go out for stuff that I'm getting paid for (i.e. taxiing my Nans about or doing stuff for them). Which essentially means that for 4 of 7 days (on average) I'll be staying home now anyway. So I thought better to spend some time selling stuff online than sit on my arse all day. Ok so in reality I can't be doing 'nothing' so always find something to do even if it's just cutting the grass or cleaning the windows (or trolling the forum
)....but I'm obviously not getting any money out of that. And I know it's not an end to things - atm I don't know where I'm going at all (except backwards!), as I'm genuinely at a point where I can't see me being in a normal job at any point, or ever having the money to move out, which is a real downer. I'm basically up the creek without a canoe, let alone a paddle, lol.
I know the fee's take up a lot. The wheels I sold recently for example, they sold for £265. £23.50 was taken by ebay. £30 for the courier. £5 for the bubblewrap and palletwrap. Then paypal fees are something like 2% iirc, so that's another £5. But it still leaves me with over £200 for them which isn't a bad lump!
Ruan and Niall definitely seem to be on the right track with this, and that's the kind of thing I was thinking about.
Not had much luck finding any wholesalers round here so far though.
