I got out of mine while the going was good ... in a traditional way, I got a mate of mine to stick an ad for it on the blackboard he props outside his house. Two days later, punter pops up and waddles off with my beloved 32" widescreen Panasonic, which I'd paid ~1500 quid for a few years previously for the princely sum of 150 notes. Better than giving it away I suppose, but it didn't feel like it at the time. -- Pip: B12

I was just amazed at the speed. If somebody wants stuff I've put in a skip they're welcome to it, and that's what I told the guy that asked. -- Mike Buckley RD350LC2 CB72

It's one thing when it's just an old object, but people seldom shred their bank or credit card statements, etc, when tossing them. |
