That's fair enough - I just mentioned it in passing as something I did
myself to maybe widen the target market. When I sold all my Atari ST
stuff in a job lot, a friend of the buyer came to collect it, which
saved me an awful lot of time.

The two Commodore lots and the Atari lot mentioned above were
temporarily stored at a friend's flat, at a time he was mostly living
in his girlfriend's house, so I was a bit lucky in finding the space
to do it. In fact the Amiga stuff was there for quite a while as I
couldn't be bothered to getting round to testing/photographing/listing
it all, as it's quite time consuming. When he decided he wanted the
space back to set up a drum kit, he bribed me to come and sort it all
out by buying lots of alcohol - we both spent the evening sorting
Amiga stuff out and getting gradually drunk.

I've currently got a whole load of stuff stored at work, for which
I've had a few negative comments from the management (although there's
an enormous amount of free space). I did get rid of the ten Apple
eMacs which helped a bit, and I also sold most of the Cubs and the
interesting Beebs (an ex-USA one, an issue 3, and a few
Econet-equipped ones).
