Advantages: bargains galore
Disadvantages: giving phone number out
Loot, I am sure everyone had heard of it……… no? Oh well if you haven’t then I have joy in store for you.
Loot is a three times weekly newspaper chock full of ads from baby items to cars. The paper itself costs £1.30, which considering what you can buy and how much you will save is a bargain.
The sections are as follows
Motors
Cars, vans, motorcycles, bikes
Computers & business
Hardware, software, business opportunities
Household
Furniture, toys, pets, DIY, computer games
Property
Rooms, flats, houses to rent and buy
Hobbies & sport
Collectibles, books, boats, health
Sound & vision
TVs, musical instruments, audio
Holidays
Holidays UK/abroad, camping equipment
Jobs
Recruitment, education...
Personal
Relationships, friends, penpals
Once you have your copy of loot, search through the likely items you may want, note the telephone number and simply ring and see if the item is sold. I bought much of my baby equipment in this way, and disposed of it in the same way also. Not only are people offering items for sale, there are also people wanting to buy items.
To save money there is another handy way of browsing loot newspaper – that is to visit their website (www.loot.com). You can browse the ads in much the same way as a newspaper, with the added facility of searching for ads you want, therefore saving time reading all those not applicable. If there is nothing you want, then you need not spend your £1.30! If something does catch your eye, and it is a recent addition then you will have to buy loot, but after 3 days all the contact details are on the site.
I have bought and sold many items through magazines and newspapers, and have had no problems with being hounded after my item has been sold, or third party publications wanting to use my ad.
If you have items to sell, it is a g
reat way of generating a little money, without standing at cold windy car boot sales!
