I'd better not stand still for too long

As a young man Husband invested in high spec top of the range music equipment.

It's been in the attic for many years now, Husband occasionally toying with the idea of disposing of it and then thinking better.

Finally in our latest declutter splurge he decided to bite the bullet so to speak, but what to do with it? The easy option was to take it to the tip. No bother, no time wasting, no going back. But surely it deserved better than that?

The conclusion: Husband would sell it on ebay.

Today the auction ended and it sold for ... £56! Which is roughly what Husband paid it for it initially.

My only concern is that Husband will now get the bug and look around for more things to sell. I could be next ...

That's funny ... Sounds a bit like he came out of the same mold as DH. He had a big tube checker, yes, an old TV repairman's stuff to test the old tube TVs! I think (hope) he finally got rid of it last year. (Maybe)
