Hi Rob
Can't make out your avatar. After pondering for quite a while it looks like Michael Jackson on the left, knifing a tubby guy, and three free-standing coat hangers on the right. Have I guessed right ? Presuming so - do I get a prize ??

Your a cheeky one!:p

744064 2009-02-08 20:57:00 What surprises me is there are some seriously greedy or just stupid people who sells second hand things at over 90% of the price of a new one.


Just spotted a woman (first time seller) trying to sell a 20+ year old JVC radio cassette player for $500 starting bid, which is probably more than its price when new. She's been told she's dreaming but insists it is her right to sell it for what she wants. Somebody ought to tell her that in auctions it is the bidders who decide the price!

Cheers

Lol. The description is seriously funny:
"Radio, goes well except there's no sound."

You want to read the Q&A then, people really got into the spirit of it and asked all sorts of daft questions and the seller replied in kind.

I can't believe that somebody bought it, and at that price too! It was worth something of course, everything is. It appeared to have an FM tuner on it and the audio looked like it was two channel, either bi-amp or stereo but no way in my mind was it a $1500 jobbie.

Copy a commercial insert, mark-up carefully, use a steel-edged ruler and a single sided blade, work on a softish cardboard base (not corrugated!!) sitting on a hard & flat surface, pre-crease the folds using the ruler and a blunt but sharpish tool, and you should get a perfect cover every time. If that fails, consult an origami expert!

I assume you have no problems with printing the graphics.
