KEY POINTS:
Before the wrapping paper was put away and the leftovers attacked on Boxing Day, people had got in early looking to make a buck or two from their unwanted Christmas presents.
By 9am today, there were already plenty for sale on a search of "unwanted Christmas presents" on Trade Me.
So far unable to attract a $1 starting bid was a ceramic Christmas tree salt shaker being offered by Aucklander Aida.
She was also selling a teddy bear and a 6kg sack of rice.
North Shore resident Erin was apparently unhappy with her Christmas haul of jewellery, looking to dispose of a silver photo locket and a topaz nine-carat gold ring.
Attracting a lot of interest was a new iRiver MP3 player -- eight bids by mid-morning.
A Blokart sand yacht was up for grabs at $2000 and other items included a DVD of that old Christmas favourite Death Becomes Her.
