be realistic
i put my old car stereo on ebay last weekend, hoping to make a few quid off it...i got it for £200, i was hoping for something between £100 and £125...
the auction finished about half hour ago with the total reaching the lofty sum of £70.84, i know i said it was a bargain deaal for the stereo...it was originally around worth £330 as new, so when i logged in yesterday to see how people were doing and it was at the pricnely sum of £20.02 i nearly edited the listing with words to the effect of "i know i said it was a bargain, but come on people, be realistic...the stereo is worth a lot more than £20" but i decided against it
i sat and watched this afternoon as there were some small bidding flurries, and i was a little disappointed when it didn't make it's reserve of £100...oh well
someone has since emailed me and offered £85 including p&p which i think is a little low, but i'm going to have a think about it before i laugh at them and say, in a very condesending tone "no", although i might take them up, i'd rather pay to have it fitted into my car...which may cause a little problem as the pug has a fitted head unit and the multi changer is fitted in the back as well, still they might be able to hook up both changers...we'll have to see
still...work is going fairly slow today so i'm just chilling at the moment, thinking about things, mulling them over in my head
i need a beer
i need a holiday too...but i think in fairness a beer is probably going to be more realistic

34 fume cupboards
34 effing fume cupboards
33 of them are special constructions because they are bigger than the stardard FC's we offer and the remaining one is also a special because it's smaller than the ones we offer! typical!! to top it off they want special controllers, apparently ours ain't good enough, which is going to add an additional £37,500 to the price, and that's before we factor it, i could be adding up to £87,000 to the "competative" quote, but seeing as all the other quotes from the other companies will be using this price as well...if shouldn't make too much difference...right?
sorry, minor rant about the current pricing proposal i'm working on.

in other news...there is no other news
blockage in my blogage
it's such a nice day outside i want to be out there running around like a loon with the woofer, but the woofer ain't really the kinda woofer that does a lot of running, he's a bit on the small side really...i want a bigger woofer...for those who have never seen the woofer, he's a little woofer, he sulks when my dad's away so i tend to visit my folks a bit more often then just to make sure the woofer's ok, when he runs his back end goes quicker than the front...which makes him look funny when he's lolloping along...foolish woofer

right i should really getback to work

anyone got any ideas of ways to make the time go quicker?
i would appreciate them
take care peeps

"bobbins?" I love it. You crack me up PX. That sucks about your stereo. I've never tried to sell anything on e-bay but I do buy things. It's completely addicting. I've spent way too much money.

linny,
bobbins is a cracking word and it can mean so many different things...as for cracking you up, that can only be a good thing, right?
ebay is totally addictive, looking at it again now, thinking about buying some stuff for my car...
spending money is good, but only when you have it to spend though
