ee-bay-gum!

After very occasion forays into buying largely low value items on ebay, today has seen a turn up for the books and I made both my first big purchase and have started selling items to boot.

Although at first I reckoned I'm cobbled together a few items worthy of flogging, on looking around what's on offer there's invariably other people trying to rid their attics of the same old tat and expecting much less than I would otherwise like to receive for it. It's perhaps the fate of many of us in this age of mass manufacturing that the collection of old games, annuals and the like aren't so individual at all but something shared by many thousands extending even in having the same clutter gather dust for twenty years or more.

Exactly how far this adventure into on-line auctioneering goes is still to be seen. I suspect if some money is made on something it might prove inspiration enough to continue the trawl for owt sellable. But oh how I lament the car booting of all those Star Wars toys many years ago...
