Sell a dirty £10 note for a clean £8 - not a bad result if they were desperate? No I think I recall it being a withdrawn note and no longer legal tender, I just don't think the seller realised he could have taken it to the bank for a current one which is what I did. They always have a cutoff date but the banks usually honour out of date notes for quite a while after the cutoff. His loss my 2quid freebie.

I got a perfect 32 inch flat screen tv for 99p from a lovely lady in Oxford.
She was quite hot so I played it cool, gave her a quid and told her she could keep the change!!
Best bit was she'd apparently put 2 brand new Duracells in the remote that cost her near 3 quid, so being a gent I insisted she keep them!!

RizzoTheRat said: I vaugely remember some story about a woman who sold used underwear on e-bay. Wear them once and sell them on, business was so brisk she'd had to start changing a couple of times a day to keep up with demand. There's a lot of weirdos out there (and in here) Still goes on. A friend of mine does the accounts for a lady who sell her worn underwear. She buys in bulk from Primark and sells for £15-20 a pop. That, and doing sexy phone chat, means she's making a good living out of some lonely w  kers' perversions!

I've had a few odd but profitable sales over the years...
The very first thing I ever sold (back in 1999) was a sealed VHS of "koyaanisqatsi" (the time lapse film). I'd just bought it in HMV for £11 the week before, and sold it to a bloke in Hong Kong for $100
Then when the Matrix was at the cinemas, the local cinema had the free small booklets with some "making of" info and pictures etc. I sold a few of them to the States for $30 to $40 each
In the early days of DVD sales, I could buy a region-1 disc from the USA, open and watch it, then sell it for a tenner profit in the UK. In those days it was a total sellers market though and there was literally a single page of 40 or 50 DVD's on Ebay for buyers to choose from
I had a leaflet for the gold James Bond Aston Martin (Danbury Mint edition) of the sort you get tucked into a car mag but falls out at WH Smiths. Sold that for £12 to someone in the US
Sold £100 of Woolworths vouchers for £105 (when Woolies was still open). Never understand these types unless they can't withdraw Paypal funds to a bank
For a while I was selling the DVD of the making-of U2's the Joshua Tree to the States for 90 quid as fast as I could get them from dvdstreet (early dvd sales site) for a tenner
Last year I bought a few copies of the 2-disc CD soundtrack for Tron Legacy to flip on Ebay. They cost me £12 each in HMV. One sold to a bidder in Chicago for $522. I felt so guilty I sent him 2. They arrived safely and he left me feedback
Not sold any cars although once picked up a Lancia Stratos brochure at a car boot sale for a quid. It had loads of pinholes/tears and blutack remains. Went to Australia for $150
