Challenge #11: EBAY - Complete!

I set myself a challenge at the start of the year to make £200 from selling things on eBay. I am now deeming this challenge over, with total money made of £205.52. Whoooh, I'm rich! Huzzah.

To get to this total I've sold about 30 items. Here are the things I sold and the prices people paid. They are a mixture of bargains and madness.

1. Franz Ferdinand - Darts of Pleasure CD single. £5.50
2. The Bluetones - Fast Boy / Liquid Lips CD single. £1.00
3. The Thrills - Santa Cruz CD single. £1.00
4. Keane - Everybody's Changing CD single. £2.70
5. Keane - Somewhere only we know CD single. £2.79
6. Franz Ferdinand - Take Me Out CD single. £1.00
7. Mickey's Racing Adventure - Gameboy Color. £4.20
8. Metal Gear Solid - Gameboy Color. £14.00
9. Warioland 2 - Gameboy Color. £7.01
10. Deja Vu 1&2 - Gameboy Color. £1.00
11. Bust-a-Move 4 - Gameboy Color. £4.80
12. Pokemon Red - Gameboy Color. £3.70
13. Kaiser Chiefs - I Predict A Riot CD single. £4.00
14. Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare - Gameboy Color. £2.20
15. Wild Arms - Playstation. £16.00
16. Alundra - Playstation. £12.00
17. Grandia 2 - Dreamcast. £9.00
18. Zelda - Oracle of Ages - Gameboy Color. £10.00
19. Zelda - Oracle of Seasons - Gameboy Color. £10.00
20. Coldplay - Brothers and Sisters CD single. £4.00
21. Black Box Recorder - Child Psychology CD single. £0.50
22. Duke Nukem Advance - Gameboy Advance. £9.10
23. Skies of Arcadia - Dreamcast. £12.00
24. KT Tunstall - False Alarm EP CD single. £8.01
25. Animal Crossing - Gamecube. £20.51
26. Amsterdam - Does this train stop on Merseyside? CD single. £1.00
27. Pure Reason Revolution - The Bright Ambassadors CD single. £3.75
28. Pokemon Gold - Gameboy Color. £13.00
29. Farenheit - Xbox. £14.03
30. Dead or Alive 2 - Dreamcast. £2.21
31. Baldur's Gate 2: Dark Alliance - Xbox. £5.51

So a various mixture of CD singles and computer games. But it's fairly clear that the best money was to be made from flogging old RPGs.

Nice to have that one over and done with. And I'm glad I didn't have to resort to selling my complete collection of Star Wars Tazos. Mainly because I don't think I could cope with the disappointment when it turned out to be worth only twenty four pence.
