Think outside the box!

So I bought and sold two Kasabien CD's and made a small 77p profit. This is getting harder the last two items have only made small profits. I think I need to think outside the box!

Going, going, gone

Ok not the greatest profit but I have sold Pure and made 73p profit.

Brilliant!

It could be worse I could have only £1.27p (aye dunk ;))

Business opportunities are like buses, there's always another one coming

Richard Branson once said:

Business opportunities are like buses, there's always another one coming.

So here I am with my next purchase, this time I have stuck with an area I have quite a bit of knowledge in. The world of Games. I have bought Pure on the xbox 360 for a bargin £6.99. It is now on ebay and hopefully will make me a bit more profit!!

Come on the clarets!!!!

Some of you may be aware that I am a burnley supporter and on Monday I went to wembley to watch them win and go to the premiership. Now I dont know if it was the dodgy pie or the beer but I had to have a little bet on burnley winning. I did not want to risk all the money so I split the money on two bets. I bet that blake would score first and burnley would win. Luckily for me Burnley did win and I made £2.75, back of the net! That takes my total up to £2.88 not bad going.

What should I do now...

What a nice chap

I have sold the mug for £2 to a colleague of mine who basically wanted to spice things up between me and dunk. So I now have £2.12p, I will have to be careful with the next purchase!!

Thanks MATT!!!

Don't call me a mug!!!


You know some bands say that they find writing the second album hard after the success of the first. I know exactly how they feel. With a modest profit of only 62 pence i really struggled with my next purchase. After all the light had a dusk sensor built in. It really is hard to top that!

I looked out for a bargain and struggled, I had to make a purchase so as if by magic I saw a collectible Harry Potter Mug for sale. Now I may end up in the same boat as dunk with this one but at least if it does not sale I can drink out of it.

The link to the ebay listing is: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250420375333

It finishes sunday afternoon so fingers crossed someone will wave there magic wand on my mug (so to speak).

Lightning Strikes Twice

Dunk is off to a terrible start his yoga DVD has still not sold. If anyone feels sorry for him, he will accept any offers at this stage.

Damn you post office

Well lesson number 1 postage is more expensive than you would think. I have now learnt this lesson as it has cost me £1.41 to post the light which is more than I thought!! Leaving me with £1.62 for my next purchase! Not a huge amount granted, but no one said it would be easy!!

First Set Back

Well Dunk's first attempt has failed no one has bought his shilpa DVD however, it will be going back on to ebay so fingers crossed for round 2!!!

This time the DVD will be on for 7 days lets see if that will help.

My wall powered solar light does not finish until Saturday and at present no one has bid. 

This may be harder than we thought!!!!

It started at poundland...

Today me and my mate dunk had a chat about how easy it would be to take a pound and turn it into a hundred pounds. On further discussion it seemed there was only one way to find out!

 So each armed with a pound and with expectation in our hearts we wondered into our local town center to see what we could buy with a 100 english pennies. Where better to start the journey than poundland!! A wonderful shop where everything is a pound!! We perused the array of travel gadgets and baby paraphernalia and each picked out something for a pound.

What did we buy I hear you cry!! Well I have bought a very lovely wall mounted solar panel light and dunk has opted for a very interesting yoga DVD staring Shilpa Shetty of big brother fame. With the beginning of our experiment in our excited paws we have each placed our items on eBay see the links below:
