    One thing you've to remember with eBay is, just because someone's advertising it at that, it doesn't mean anyone's buying it (unless that's an auction price of course).

    There's some absolutely belting old Barnsley shirts that have been on there for years, because someone's got them up for £190 plus postage from Ukraine.

    IMG_1117.png I remember the fashion in the 1970s for reusing nice-shaped wine bottles as candle holders or even table lamps. There was one popular bottle that everyone seemed to have - Mateus Rose. This was perfect for the job and not a bad cheap wine to drink

    I put records on eBay at daft prices that I really don’t wanna sell. It amazes me what people will pay as quite often they cough up daft money.
