    Doesn't seem like it. The only previous listing for such an item that has ended I can find.

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180368722483

    Looks like someone chancing their luck on the free listing day yesterday.

    I've thanked you for your original post as it made me do a search on similar items such as Argos catalogues.

    I've a load of old ones I was about to but in the bin, but recent listings suggest these fetch about £10 each on average! :eek:

    Looks like I've some ebay listings to create :beer:
