Yesterday I brought my used Music CDs that I wanted to get rid off to Cash Converters at Blk 710A Ang Mo Kio Ave 8, It's at Ang Mo Kio central near the Maybank Branch. They have a section at the side of their store that is specific to them buying stuff from customers only.
However the prices that they take in are really super low.So it you don't really need to sell your items urgently, you would probably get a better price on eBay. But if you are selling on eBay, you might find some really cheap stuff there to get stock to sell.
Cash Convertors also has a home pick up service, especially if you have big items like Plasma TVs. You can call them to come to your home and give you a quote for the item. However it may not be high price though.
They have a price list for the items that they take in and for Music CDs it's $0.30 per piece. Regardless of what the album is or how famous the singer was. LOL.And has to be in working condition.
They are quite particular though. It has to have a certified for distribution in Singapore sticker. If not they will not accepted it. Especially for DVDs, as it's something to do about viewership.
I guess if I sold my Music CDs on Ebay I would have gotten more money for the Albums. However I needed to get rid of them urgently. Gonna move house soon and don't wish to be lugging so much useless stuff to the new place. Glad that the bulk load of them are gone now and there's a little more space in my room for stuff now. So I can continue with my packing.Right now I just need space in my room.
Cheers!

Terapeak eBay Statistics Research
I have to say that I absolutely love this function of using Terapeak's eBay Stats Research!
I can use this search function to help increase my sales, the search results actually shows me the Keywords that are most searched for in the particular item that I am selling. Which format best suits the item to be listed. Which day that has the most sales. It also displays the items that the Top Sellers are selling. Gives me an average price of the items sold. Also the Shipping price on an average.
I subscribed to it for USD 39.95 a month and added hot products for USD 6.95 per month.
It's so worth it! Now I know which are the products that buyers are looking for, I can look for the product and sell it on eBay. Amazing! So Blessed!

Merchant Run Global Link
I tried setting up a Merchant Run Global Link account and tried posting up some of my products.
The templates that they offered were really awesome. However, the time taken to load the products description and clicking to the next pages were time consuming.
I've decided to stick to the turbo lister that ebay provides for free. It's much easier to use as most required fields can be located on ONE display page.
Hassle free.
Easy to relist.
Easy to use html functions.
I can copy and paste some html scripts for the templates and save it there to use in the future.
I was excited when I saw the tutorials for Merchant run Global Link and how I can easily connect my products to the 21 ebay sites. But the loading time takes so long that it gets frustrating and I would spend half a day to upload it. I gave up after a week.
Perhaps if they could put all the required fields including uploading of images on ONE page. That would be great. Just a thought.
Anyone know of any good listing services such as these. Please PM me.
Cheers!

Likas Papaya Soap Whitening Acne Blemish Remover
I've been using Likas Papaya Soap for whitening and acne & blemish removing purposes for the past few years. It really has a good whitening effect for me. Every I got a tan from sun bathing I would use this for about 2 weeks and I get fairer very fast!
I used to have really bad back acne problems but after using this soap for a few years I realized that it's gone! I can now wear low back outfits without any worries. And got my confidence back!
I have no knowledge on how the enzyme in the product really works but for me personally, the soap does control oil on my oily skin. So I guess that helps alot and the whitening effect also lightens the marks and spots left behind from the blemish and acne.
I got to know about this brand of soap from a friend who bought it from Ebay for me. It's so good that I bought it as a gift for other friends who want to have fairer skin.
Plus point is that it's relatively cheap buying from Ebay. And really does work!

Weekdays at Johor Bahru
Taking a short drive up the causeway through Woodlands Checkpoint to Johor Bahru on a weekday is the best time during the week.
We would normally go there either on Mondays, Tuesday or Thursdays to avoid the peak period crowds. Shopping there is cheap at KSL City Mall. Last checked there's a new Tesco supermarket there, I believe that opened this month of July 2011.
Another one of our hang out places would be Jusco which is a drive further up north. about 20 mins from the customs checkpoint at JB. It's after the carrefour.
I've been to these 2 malls to catch movies and I would say that the quality of screening is pretty good. Considering the price that we pay is in RM ringgit.
I would highly recommend these 2 places if you want cheap shopping and cheap food but near to home for a super short break away from the city life in Singapore.
I'm heading over tonight to pump petrol and have dinner at our favourite LOK LOK stall in JB at along Jalan Keris. They have the best I've ever had in Malaysia till date. The deep fried pig's organs on skewers is the best, especially the pig's stomach is always super juicy. Also the chicken kidneys are a chewy bite.
I would normally order a main meal, which is Dry Lao Shu Fern in black sauce with a big bowl of soup from the hawker shop opposite.
If anyone has other recommendations especially for food in JB, please do leave your comments. I would love to know!
Cheers!

Buy & Sell Used Books in Singapore
I was looking for a place or someone to sell my old used books to. Thank God I found this Second Hand Book store at Bras Basah Complex.
Many years ago, I started collecting Historical Romance Titles, such as Virginia Henley and Susan Johnson etc. However, I have grown tired of reading such heart breaking novels, so decided to get rid of my collection.
I thought of selling them on eBay Singapore but it was too much of a hassle for me. I wanted to get that box of used books out as soon as possible.
There were about 30+ books in all. We drove there and sold the whole lot for $20.00. Quite a good price as my books were really old and yellow. Their prices range from $0.20 to $1.00, $1.50 per book. I really wanted to get rid of them, so this was the best place for me.
There are four stores there that conduct such a business of Buy & Sell Used Second Hand Books.
Here's a link.

You may like to call them or just bring the books there like what I did. Do take note that they may not take all titles. They rejected one of the books I brought there. Said they didn't want it.
The shop I went to was the one on the ground floor.
Evernew Book Store

The Lady there was really kind and helpful. I just carried my 2 bags of books, walked in and said " I want to sell my books here", she showed me to the corner of her shop where there was a guy who helped count the titles and picked those books that they would take in. And in less then 5 minutes I collected my money and left the shop happy!
I'm so blessed! :)
