bricks?

Anthillmob

i have a garden full of bloody bricks so looked them up on ebay and suprisingly people are bidding on job lots of old housebricks!

how much would you start an auction for a pile of sodding bricks for?

obviously buyer collects.

Depends what type they are. If they are old bricks and someone is desperate for a match they might command a premium, and they'd probably travel a distance to get them.

ive got housebricks, garden wall bricks and brick bricks lol. i think over the years our garden has become a dumping ground for other peoples bricks when we weren't looking. either that or they are breeding.

aparently the house bricks, according to the old bloke who lived next door, come from when this block was bombed during the war.

maybe i could sell them as "bomb-damaged bricks" or "war memorabillia" haha

I think if you think they're worth something and a few peeps would be interested, start them at £0.01. Items always seem to end up at their going rate whatever the starting price.

Although the going rate for a load of bricks might be £0.01!

Good luck, interesting to see how you get on.

ill discuss it with mr mob first. he will think im nuts.

*wonders if anyone would want a huge lump of concrete from the base of an old fence post*

I tried to give away some concrete fence posts in Loot many years ago. Loot were so surprised they rang me to confirm they were going for free. Despite that, no-one wanted them!

Old bricks can be very useful for matching purposes, but I'd not buy any from eBay without seeing them first, regardless of photos, whose colour reproduction can't be relied on.

:rotfl: Genius! Maybe that's the answer (if you don't mind continuing to care for "adopted" bricks)!
If your main objective is to get rid of them, I'd start with a minimal start price and let the customers decide what they're worth. That's probably the best policy anyway, even if profit is the main objective.
