Yeah I have put my name forward and entered in to the raffle for them on 6 different websites and so has my girlfriend so fingers crossed.. I think they will be £400+ on resale, been doing a bit of research and now I am wanting to buy myself a new pair of shoes...

These ones... lol http://www.consortium.co.uk/adidas-originals-nmd-cs1-gtx-primeknit-core-white-core-white-core-black.html

Waterproof is cool for the weather we have plus easy cleaning.

I like them mate they are really nice. The problem i think i would have with flipping shoes is i would generally want to keep them half the time ??

Yeah same for me, the link I posted is of ones I may buy but they are selling for retail so no profit to be made there, the Off Whites will be the good flip and the ones listed earlier in this thread, hope I get one of each

I have had a little luck with some silver but haven't done very much. On the other hand done very nicely with guitars. In fact may even offer you lot a deal, Fender Custom Shop 60's Telecaster Relic, to you only £1950!

I just made £80 profit selling a car headlight on Ebay, one of mine had some deep scratches in it so I ordered a horrible tatty cloudy one off Ebay for £30 which was the cheapest one i could find as a replacement while I took mine out to repair it which I did by sanding and buffing the shine back into it with some cutting compund, then I thought I might as well do the tatty one as well and stick it back on Ebay and try and get my money back but it came up like new when I had finished and intead of £30 it made £116 and I was £6 to post it.

I'm now wondering if there is money to be made repeating this.

Just thinking (sorry about that) don't forget about Gumtree, I've got so nice stuff off of there. The only problem is knowing you will get stuff or going to be paid, therefore meeting in person is the only real way.

I used to sell American license plates on eBay.      Got on very well, could get them for £1/£2 each including shipping.   Sold for £5-£10.    £130 was the most I made on one.     About 5 years ago postage went through the roof so instead of a flat rate of -$10ish it went up to $27.     was good fun but took plenty of time.    Would have got on better if I could work computers better and I didn’t like 15 mike round trip from post office.       If I’d had nectar points and tcb back them I could have made a fortune
