hi Ian
i had given this some thought but all you end up with is a load of junk you can't sell, bought a garage load once and after 6 months sold it as a job lot again, did earn some dosh though, but he won't split it, and i have nowhere to store that amount of stuff!
cheers
tim.

I guess its the same as fragging out cars, you should never go into it thinking you'll get your money back in the short term, maybe a few big ticket items go quickly but not enough to make it worth while.

A bit of a long shot but I don't suppose they're the same/similar to BMW / VW BBS centre caps? I haven't got any spare but could send you one to try if you promise to return it biggrin

Iain
