I love ebay - thank god for the credit crunch!

[Gamebird]

I've just sold an assortment of unloved (mainly) horsey rubbish on ebay and made £70!!!!

Someone has even paid the princely sum of £20 for the priviledge of wearing my old, well worn breeches that are too big now

.

Is it the credit crunch making people look for 2nd hand stuff?

Am now 1/20th of the way to getting my new saddle

Off to find some more stuff to flog now... (though I'm not sure they take husbands

).

Just been doing some of that myself this eve. Have put on a Star Trek book with an accompanying vinyl record, an owner's manual for an MR2 & am about to put on my short Rimfrost boots which I've never worn outside the house.

H'mm, I've got some spare breeches which a sharer left in the days when my old mare had multiple sharers. I never could get anyone to admit to owning them, & I found them & washed them the other day. Maybe I should give them a try on e bay?

Saving up for a Tria laser hair removal thingy.

I buy loads of great stuff on ebay.. but i've never had any luck selling stuff on there

 

[CracklinRosie]

Ha ha I bought a pair of Brahser walking boots for under £20 and then sold them 2 years later for £70, just away to start my winter occupation of selling on ebay. I made over £500 last winter by justing selling all my unwanted junk!!!!

Cool!!

*Starbucks thinks about what she can flog*

I've bought lots of good stuff on ebay - most of my 'expensive' branded kit was bought 2nd hand that way for peanuts (amerigo tendon boots, prolite XC boots, devoucoux stud girth, countless pairs of £20 pikeur breeches, sabre double bridle etc. etc.).

Though it does mean that looking at me at competitions you'd think I was rich, spoilt and had more money than sense

. I constantly feel like saying 'I didn't pay full price, honest'!

 

[AutumnRose]

I wish i understood ebay, it really confuses me. Yes i am a complete computer dunce!!!

 

[Elise]

I am loving Ebay too

. Have been having a clear out of horse stuff and I'm nearly at the £500 mark and still got loads of stuff to list. In fact it's getting a bit addictive lol!!

 

[CracklinRosie]

Ditto Gamebird, have a lovely Keiffer bridle, paid £35 for it, Passier breastplate, £60, Leopard tendon and fetlock boots, £30 for the set, the list is endless!!!!

I just bought an ideal international event saddle 2yo for £190! Its immaculate.

I think selling is more exciting than buying if you are not doing it as a business.

 

[Eventerlad15]

I'm going to try and flog a few ancient, I mean ancient saddles on there. Will they sell?

If someone will pay good money for my old worn breeches....

 

[Heidi1]

I'm planning on having a sort out this weekend, have so much stuff that I have not used for the last few years, though I would flog it.

I love buying off there, I have just received my brand new RRP of £1800 saddle that I got for £500 from ebay

Just got loads of stuff to put on their and sell now

 

[I_A_P]

im now selling my jeffries breastplate on ebay if anyone wants it- only used 4 times fantastic condition!

 

[scotsmare]

LOL - I bought a brand new Fal cooler on there for the princely sum of 2.99 last week. Was nearly a tenner by the time they'd added the courier but still a bargain
