reminded me I need to sort and list them

But have you done your business plan on them ....:money:

I could write a book, the things I nearly sold on ebay before I reaslised I was being daft. That could be a sequel to my book of 'the things I have tried to sell on ebay and which are now still in my storage cupboard unsold'

Yes I do but I avoid entire categories that make me nervous, like clothes and branded goods.

Most fo my stuff is antique and collectables now, but I do have other bread and butter lines of new stock and oddments that I find to sell for a while until the market dies and i move on.

Nail varnish is on the Royal Mail Prohibited Goods list.
Maybe RM confiscated them.

From the list :

Filth E.g. dirt, waste or refuse.

and by this they did not mean:

Indecent, obscene or offensive material E.g. pornographic material.

Obviously this refers to sending turds etc to politicians etc, but I love the concept of using a mail service to offload one's garbage. And looking at the local tip prices it might soon be financially viable

I also like :

Dry ice Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide and is prohibited.

I just have this vision of somebody spooning it into an envelope. "Hi, did you receive the dry ice?"..

Okay, I'll shut up now.
