A rather expensive carrier bag.....

Blimey..and to think I have a quiet moan to myself if a supermarket charges me for a carrier bag! How much would you pay for a carrier bag? :eek: Look a this!

It's not the bag that people were bidding for...it's the fact it was for charity.

I paid £2.50 for a Tesco carrier back on Ebay once. Not on purpose, I hasten to add, but I bought a pair of jeans & when they arrived the seller had 'packed' them in a tesco bag (nothing else) sealed up with sellotape & just stuck the stamps on the bag. Couldn't believe it.

Have had quite a few parcels arrive in a carrier with the stamps added on like that - not sure you are allowed to do it though!

i think you can put a stamp on anything to post it.

any fancy posting themselves up to me to test this out?

I once stuck a stamp on a cheese slice and posted it, so you can pretty much send anything. Also know a guy in the aberdeen sorting office who sent traffic cones :beer:

We went camping and left all the food behind, so when we got back we cooked it all up, and then sent what was left to the people who missed out. Rolls and sausage ect went out in jiffy bags, and we decided to try out the sticky stamps directly onto the cheese slice.

The recipient said it arrived in perfect condition, he promptly opened it and used on his toast.
