    Vintage MAC eyeshadows, 20+ years old, some lightly used/some not - had a shoe-boxful and they went for up to £60 each!
    The ability of skinny old ladies to carry huge loads is phenomenal. An ant can carry one hundred times its own weight, but there is no known limit to the lifting power of the average tiny eighty-year-old Spanish peasant grandmother.

    Memory chips from a server, they had been replaced and were going to be binned even though there was nothing wrong with them. 'Would you like them', 'yeah alright then'. :)

    Cost to me £0
    Sold for £250+ (don't remember exact amount).

    but why is he even putting that item up in the first place? It must have run through his mind, "maybe this isnt quite right, i shouldnt be selling this".
