We have recently replaced two of our central heating radiators. I had a look on the web but couldn't see anywhere that would pay for the old ones. Anybody know are they worth anything, or should I just take them to the local dump?

Take them to your local scrap metal merchants. They are taking (and paying for) just about any scrap metal these days as there is a shortage. You might not get much for them, but every little helps, ay?

Try www.inkcycle.co.uk. I've just looked and they will pay me £1 for my HP cartridge. Worth a look. xxx

Just checked the website and they take Epson cartridges, which is excellent as everyone else won't touch them with a barge pole.:D They only pay 10p/10 points per empty new (not reused) cartridge. But it looks like you have to pay for the postage. May investigate this further - but thanks again :T

If anyone has a large amount of reclaimed wood flooring then please contact www.reclaimedhardwoodfloors.com who may offer cash for it dependant on quantity, species and quality. Also sell reclaimed wood floor products - some need to be sanded but good solid quality.

Just to add.

Sold a couple of old mobile phones on e bay recently plus DD2s Gameboy Advance.

Now I probably need to sell a couple more mobiles that were replaced by new Christmas Presents. I have found that e bay is the best place to get rid of these especially if you've got good feedback.

Kevin the £3.99 e bay courier (now £5.99 see this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200062195616&ssPageName=MERC_VIC_RSEE_Pr4_PcY_BIN_Stores_IT&refitem=200060455636&itemcount=4&refwidgetloc=closed_view_item&usedrule1=CrossSell_LogicX&refwidgettype=cross_promot_widget) has made it profitable for me to sell a job lot of Haynes Workshop Manuals - none of which would have sold well if at all on it's own due to postage.

I also sold an old (very) Raleigh Tamahawk (baby chopper of the 70s) on e bay for £20. It was in rough condition and needed work. But there is a cult market out there.

Does anyone know where you can recycle old i-pods? I seem to remember one of the phone recycling companies does it but are there any better ideas? Don't think it would go for much on ebay as is an old non coloured one.

Hi, i read you're post regarding selling books on amazon, i would be really interested in doings so. I was just wondering if you could help start, like what sorts of books do you sell, how much etc, just the basic layout of how you make so much money.I would appreciate it so much. Many thanks!
