One of mine was cancelled (out of six) but then when I got to the store it was there. Just had another email saying it's been dispatched. Not sure what's gone on but I've finally got all my cartridges and also all my clubcard points.
Anyone know how often Tesco do the conversion / how long it takes?

For anyone questioning the popularity of this offer, I just went to collect my order from my local Tesco Express - he took ages to come back out with the packages and then asked me what exactly was inside as they'd had so many people ordering similar packages this week it was difficult to find the right ones. Clearly I live in a high BAEC concentration area!

All of mine have now arrived.

Anyone had any luck yet shifting these on ebay?
I'm a total novice at it and wondered if anyone was getting decent prices for them or is the market totally saturated?

(These Tesco CCPs also allows me to try Virgin Upper-class first time if I ever wanted to!)

I've sold some of mine. Paid around £111.
Should end up costing around £50 for 15k Avios once all fees come off.
Not amazing but I don't see how anyone can really make a profit on eBay with these things.
Most people buy at say £20 and then sell them below cost for say £14-£17 (well, 1000 points = £10 or £30 in a triple deal, so no loss there is their logic). You then lose say 96p for Paypal, whatever eBay take and that could be £3-£4 and P&P on top of that (unless your employer unwittingly pays the postage for you I suppose).
You need to sell either to someone you know for as close to cost as possible or list the items as say £27 and then no-one will buy.
Or wait months until everyone clears their stocks by which time another promo may start.
I sent three separate inks recently in the same packaging 1st class at the same Post Office and the first packages of one separate ink cost just over £4, the third a day later (2 inks in the package) just over £3.
