    Moglex is correct.

    I can't post anything to back up my knowledge of Red Dwarf other than 'Everybody's dead, Dave.'
    My TV is broken! :cry:
    Edit: refunded £515 for TV 1.5 years out of warranty - thank you Sale of Goods Act! :j

    I sold a pair of the most hideous vases which were completed awful with a grey ghosting on them plus a handpainted badly flowers. In my description I stated that these vases were worse than they looked in the picture etc. Can't believe it but they sold for a good price
    No Matter what you do there will be critics.

    It does, buyers seem to think if you point out a flaw then they will get the item really cheap, if ever I've sold anyhing damaged I always put 'hence the low starting price' and the damaged stuff gets more interest than the perfect.

    Perhaps we should have a competition and list a weird item each and see which sells for the most.
  • Unfortunately I didn't sell this item, but I know someone who did - a military field amputation kit. It sold for a large amount of money to a professional 'lady' for use in her place of work (if you know what i mean) :eek:
