Getting rid of unwanted Christmas gifts on ebay- is it ok?

Hi.
I'm thinking of getting rid of a couple of unwanted Christmas gifts on ebay to make a few quid for myself.
But I feel kinda bad about it.
Should I feel bad, or is this cool.

Look at it this way what else are you going to do with them, throw them in the attic and leave them to gather dust. If there no good to you you might aswell get some cash for them.

Sell, sell, sell.

Not much good keeping stuff you will not use.

Certainly, go on and sell them on Ebay, if you don't they are only going to gather dust or worse.

Don't get too excited about what you might make though, as the selling price for some items hardly makes it worth the effort. I was selling an item on Ebay recently, it was brand new and unopened and I had hoped for about a third of the shop price, but it didn't sell and when I checked the selling price for similar items they were being sold for as little as a tenth of the shop price, which for new items seems crazy.

No point in having it clutter up the place, get rid of it and spend the earnings on something you will use.

Black babies starving,war raging,children dying and at the holiest time of year the ones that love you most spend some of their had earned money on presents for you to show how much you mean to them and you want to show thanks by selling them to a complete stranger for monetary gain????

If anybody checks your user name on ebay they can see what you have been selling, I think only if the buyer leaves feedback.

No problem, you'll probably the things back again next Christmas.

No problem - if they're used undies then ebay.jp is the best bet.

if it's a framed photo of your uncle then you might get sussed.
