contemporary furniture

One of the things I didn’t expect to find on eBay was contemporary furniture and there are some exciting and really nice sets or individual pieces of furniture.

Try it yourself there are some fantastic solid ash and oak bedroom suites which your coy enough to bid at the right time can easily be bought at a bargain price.

The thing that brought my attention to this was I was looking for an up to date or funky coffee table and I taken back with all the different types of contemporary furniture that appeared.

Unfortunately the table I was looking for was snapped up by a last minute bid which under cut me by just £2 which I was gutted about but I’m now in the hunt for another one.

There was one bonus I managed to find a contemporary furniture cube shaped shelving unit and snapped it up at £200 less than it goes for in your local high street shop.

My girlfriend loves it and she has now found the untapped market and is annoyingly looking at buying lots of matching items which I’m going to be footing the bill for, check out the image below its the one I bought and it looks fantastic.

Top 10 Christmas gifts on ebay

So what is in your top ten gifts for Christmas 2008?

Here I go,

1, xbox 360

2, Playstation 3

3,  Elmo, tickle me extreme (it always makes an appearance and does well)

4, TV’s

5, Pda, or satnav

6, Socks or Scarfs (annoyingly always make a good amount of sales)

7, Gadgets (normally pointless)

8, PC

9, Car (if you sell at the right time you can make a killing)

10, Clothes

So if you have any of the products above and want to make a bit of cash for Christmas get selling at the start of December at the latest then you have time to catch the Christmas post.

If you have any old clothes that’s normally the way to make a quick sale as people will tend to bid even if they are not sure that they really want the piece of clothing, I have found that when I have sent items people ask if they can return them because they are not sure they like it now they have got it, the funny thing is you shouldn’t have bid on it if you didn’t like it.
