make a few pounds off ebay and local bargain search

allot of us are struggling with money , and jobs are hard to come by and not worth having when you get them some days ,  my last job was awful i had to stand for 8 hour shifts leading to sciatic nerve pains which un less you've experienced you cant imagine , a bit like tooth ache in your leg and arse .

so any way i am now determined to eek a living out as self employed , and cryptos are my chief hope , but and a big but were to get the money to invest , so here a story about a way to make a few pounds , most areas have a web site that will scan ebay for items that have no bids or collection only , which of course will reduce any potential buyers down to those nearby , the one i use is  baycrazy , local bargain search , just put in your post code and maybe 100 miles radius and maximum spend £100 maybe and search all categories 

 this is my latest purchase , you have to be open to any thing , trust your instincts 

the ad read

and yahoo i won using a snip tool , called Gixen also free to use  to bid in the closing seconds

£32.00
[ 3 bids ]

so normally i would clean and fix up what i have bought , but no need , in fact any signs of age only added to its charm,  my main qualification is always would i like to keep it , and yes was the answer , i did a bit of research and couldn't really find any thing similar as for the king portrayed the head came from near York and this of course suggested  Richard the third , son of York , and also there was a likeness of Lawrence Olivier as Richard the third 

although much older than the film , there was a resemblance , so i re advertised the head on ebay , now this is the important bit  FREE POSTAGE , no bids , buy it now price only , oh and always start high , as you can lower your price latter , and to be truthful if i didnt need the money i would have kept it as i had become quite attached to it
