Do you remember that huge thread I had in the Approved Items For Sale forum not too long ago? That thread made me nearly £700 worth of sales in the space of a year. I sold more than half of my collection. Trust me when I say I used to have a lot more stuff! These days, I keep only the quality items and items that I know I will use. I'm pretty streamlined now. :D

Er...would you believe me if I said a tenner or thereabouts? No? Didn't think so. Seriously, though, it's probably about £200 or so. But these days I am a lot more discerning than I used to be. I can honestly say that, apart from one item, I have not considered selling any items I have purchased recently. Which is pretty good for me.

And my copy of TBOHM was getting a bit battered, so it will be nice to get a shiny, new one. :D

Don't tempt me. But then who would iron my clothes, wash the dishes and cook my dinners? Best keep hold of her, methinks.


What you need is a maid :wink: :lol:

Would probably work out cheaper too :lol:

Know EXACTLY where you're coming from, sir. My wife "donated" 3 paperbacks I had painstakingly researched into a 3 force book Autome routine to a charity collection. Now have to locate the exact editions once more, one of which is long out of print.

Fun, fun, fun..........

Women, you can't beat 'em. Sadly.

Get the wife on Ebay & use the money to rebuy all the contents of the box. The space saved on all her belongings can be put to good storage use for all your new purchases. It's the only sensible option.
