    Give them away. What type of strips are they? My DH says he will have them but he's not paying for them - he'll pay postage only. You don't try to sell something that you've been given free on the NHS or paying a prescription charge - these things cost about £25 per drum.

    Failing that, go round to your local diabetes clinic and give them back!

    There are similar items on sale at the moment:

    This is no guarantee that it's permissable to sell them... check the prohibited items list.
