    the beauty about software is that charity shops tend to lump it together with cds when most of the time it can be worth more

    Any old Microsoft or Apple operating systems especially with a COA will do well on ebay

    same with MS Office type products

    Oh no....I had loads of this sort of stuff from all the 'pooters I've had and threw them all out about a year ago cos I thought they'd be worthless, being obsolete an' all.....:mad:

    Been very slack this week and have added a mere £19.34 to my total, but that still leaves me ahead of schedule and I promise to be good and work hard next week....

    ...now.......OH's sock drawer......:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    BLIMEY - nice one

    Think ill go through my old Windows CDs and stick those up lol
  • in total the ten items i paid £6.50 for sold for an amazing £65.44. I need a stiff drink!

    some only made what i paid for them but nothing made a loss.

    and two people have already paid.

    Nice one benedictams :j i would never have thought of that. Stupid question now - are these discs all second hand i.e. have they been used......? You can guess what I'm thinking, along with other have quite a few of these rattling around somewhere but thought they were worthless!

    Edit - I've just seen the ad clearly says used lol. Didn't know u could use these more than once IYKWIM
