Ozexpatriate Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Quick, there might be a cheap DoG on there under the Sentinal listing! That sounds like Ronald Reagan's favourite joke - the one about the optimist and the pony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsetan Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Wasnt sure whether to put this in bargain hunters or the smile thread! Just got this from a charity shop in banbury, lurking at the back of the shelf for £2 but worth a fair bit more An original 1981 rubiks cube, complete with box and instructions Dunno if i'll still be smiling later when i throw it against a wall in frustration Dunno how you got away with that one. Charity shops are usually *very* clued-up about the values of things nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold big jim Posted September 27, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 27, 2014 (edited) The box has been scribbled on; that knocks it right down. Pete its only pencil, it will rub out!! i actually got it for my little un, a bit of a james may moment, its meant to be played with, to be honest a couple of the coloured stickers have been peeled a little bit so its only worth a tenner at the most, if i were to sell anything i'd sell the box and instructions alone horsetan, it was from a independent local shop rather than a chain, a few years back in the same shop a fellow chiltern driver picked up some drinking glasses for 10p that he sold on for about £30 as he knew what he was looking at on the shelf, similarly my wife picked up some versace shoes for £1 from a different independent shop, the old dear behind the counter tried to drop them to 50p as they needed re-heeling but my wife insisted on paying the whole £1 Edited September 27, 2014 by big jim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shortliner Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Some ramblings from a retired mind!I was thinking about how a status symbol of today is those cell phones that everyone has clipped onto their belt or purse. I can't afford one. So, I'm wearing my garage door opener.I also made a cover for my hearing aid and now I have what they call blue teeth, I think.You know, I spent a fortune on deodorant before I realized that people don't like me anyway.I was thinking that women should put pictures of missing husbands on beer bottles.I was thinking about old age and decided that old age is 'when you still have something on the ball, but you're just too tired to bounce it.'I thought about making a fitness movie for folks my age, and call it 'Pumping Rust'.I've gotten that dreaded furniture disease. That's when your chest is falling into your drawers!When people see a cat's litter box, they always say, 'Oh, have you got a cat?' Just once I want to say, 'No, it's for visitors!'Employment application forms always ask who is to be notified in case of an emergency? I think you should write, 'A Good Doctor'!I was thinking about how people seem to read the Bible a whole lot more as they get older. Then, it dawned on me. They were cramming for their finals..Gentle Thoughts for Today -Birds of a feather flock together . . . .and then on your car.A penny saved is a government oversight.The older you get, the tougher it is to lose weight, because by then your body and your fat have gotten to be really good friends.The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement.He who hesitates is probably right.Did you ever notice: The Roman Numerals for forty (40) are XL.If you can smile when things go wrong, you have someone in mind to blame.The sole purpose of a child's middle name is so he can tell when he's really in trouble.Aging: Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me, I want people to know why I look this way. I've travelled a long way and some of the roads weren't sealed.When you're dissatisfied and would like to go back to your youth, think of Algebra.You know you're getting old when everything either dries up or leaks.One of the many things no one tells you about aging is that it is such a nice change from being young. Ah, being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.Lord, Keep your arm around my shoulder and your hand over my mouth . . ..... . . .
