Dear xyz,
We all get gifts that just aren’t right, it could be the size, the colour, or the gift itself. This year, leave your gifts in the shrink wrap.
From 8 – 9 January 2011, you can list your Brand New unwanted gifts for FREE starting at 99c or less.
Use the money you make to buy yourself a Brand New gift that you really want.
Clever you!
