    I don't mind if people want my old stuff to ebay or car boot. It's not about the money, it's about the landfill, and if someone can make a living off my waste, good for them.
    Debt free 4th April 2007.
    New house. Bigger mortgage. MFWB after I have my buffer cash in place.

    I once offered a couple of bags full of childrens clothes. They were snapped up as soon as I posted and a very grateful mum came and collected them within the hour and was thrilled (and dropped me off a bottle of wine!).

    However, I had 2-3 responses from people asking questions such as "are they clean", "do you smoke", "how new are they"!

    I never expected the Spanish Inquisition!!

    Somebody is wanting Games Consoles for Orphans.
  • Someone offered a non starting car on one of my groups a couple of years ago and it was very kindly offered to me. We towed it to the scrap yard and got 60 quid for it.
    :love:

    Can these orphans cook and wash up?

    How much do they need to eat?

    If you have any of the following languishing unloved someplace, I would love to
    give them a new home!

    1) Technic Lego
    2) Camera / Lenses / Filters, or any other camera accessories you may have (Film
    or digital type) - Would love an old telephoto lens!
    3) Telescope (as a backup in case nobody has a telephoto lens!)
    4) PCI Graphics card (normal pci, not pci express!)
    5) Pocket Watch!
    6) Old BMX Bicycle in any condition
    7) Broken laptop (or working if you have one!)
    8) 1U / 2U Server (Or any sort of server really)
    9) Gameboy games
    10) And last but not least, an Oscilliscope!

    Would anyone like to make my day a great one? :)

    I've had two out of the three bolded items that I've had to junk. And I'll soon(ish) have a working laptop available - just has a short battery life.

    So it's not so stupid.

    The Oscilloscope was a very good four channel one with one channel not working.

    I dont think I mentioned that it was stupid.

    I was actually just listing my own ad, so if you can give me your details I shall be round to pick up two of the items tonight, and the laptop when it is working,

    Cheers:D
