    I was able to get around £5 per glass on ebay after fees and postage.
    In our house if it's not wanted it gets sold. I hate clutter.
    I'm building up a set of glasses for when our children go off to Uni. I'm sure they won't care if they have a little "Tony" etched into them  :D

    Really don't like those stemless glasses but they are just about ok as tumblers... Pity really as Mrs RC breaks a wine glass every few weeks - I've given up buying expensive ones...

    Would i qualify for the wine/charity bonus if I opened a new Virgin Money account and fulfilled its criteria, but already have a longstanding Yorkshire bank account?

    No.......
  • Having done all the other banks switches for incentives a long time ago Virgin was the only one I hadn't done so thought I'd do it just before they reduced the incentive as my dormant TSB accounts weren't being used since they stopped paying interest.

    Was very impressed with how quick and painless receiving the wine was. Received the wine claim code on the afternoon of the switch completion and delivery of the 15 bottles by DHL just 2 days later.

    On a side note I quite like those free stemless glasses from Laithwaites as they're not so easy to break and are more versatile.
