V ebayed one a couple of years ago.

Often seems you can sell stuff on ebay for money that you can't give
away for free locally.

Oddest one was when I sold the dented tank from my old 7R. It sold for
99p and the bloke insisted on giving me 8 quid when he collected it.

Helping clear my gran's house now she's moved into a care home I put
her old tv into a skip. It was gone by morning.

I think so long as it's left outside it'll go.

And stuff goes doubly quick if you put it on the pavement and stick a
"For Sale - enquire within" notice on it. DAMHIK, etc...
