  • this just shows that you can sell ANYTHING on ebay. had some building work done last year, builders mis-measured a 10ft steel beam and had to re-order. they left the old one in my yard and weren't interested in it (made-to-measure so not much use elsewhere). I sold it on Ebay for a tenner (with proviso that buyer collected), lets face it, I didn't fancy trying to get it on the scales at the Post Office) - buyer turned up with a trailer, and some mates to lift it - everyone happy (it would have cost him 400 to get a similar one made up).
    I have even seen some mad bloke selling bricks and lumps of coal one by one for a laugh - and he gets bids for these things ! Madness

    I'm sure between us we can think of an infamous listing to get us mentioned in the press (smiliar to the selling 'nothing' scenario) - anyone got any ideas? I feel like causing anarchy - lol!
