That could be eBay or other auction sites, doing a car boot sale, or selling via Amazon, Gumtree, Preloved or your local paper.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s still the best way to raise the most money. It pays to cut out the middleman nearly every time.<\/p>\n<p>And having heard the tip of concentrating sales to coincide with payday, I think there&#8217;s definitely something in that too, and will be ending my auctions right at the end of a month next time I do some.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s also been another small payout from <strong>TopCashback<\/strong>, and I&#8217;ve cashed out \u00a33.08 this time. The rest of it might take another couple of months to clear, about \u00a340 of it that I can&#8217;t use in this challenge, but maybe I&#8217;ll add that into another challenge later.<\/p>\n<p>So the grand total is now <strong>\u00a3339.10<\/strong>. I think I could have got there a bit faster if I hadn&#8217;t slacked off with sorting out listings during the first month, but that&#8217;s one big lesson learned for next time.<\/p>\n<p>Now it&#8217;s time to get out there and start looking for a new laptop&#8230; Can&#8217;t wait!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><strong>Have you made any extra cash recently?
