Onza Kieron Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 I can see some guy went out the house, forgot his keys so put the wheel in the skip thinking noone would steal it then ran in to get keys, when he returns, the wheel is gone....Ebay it.

Sam Nichols Posted October 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 I always have a quick look through skips! You never know when you might get a pay-off! That one's defo going on ebay though! Hehe. On a similar note.. A guy came into my cycle shop wanting to sell his sons 'blue road bike' I told him we don't sell bikes for people so he ask dif he could bring it in for me to give a rough valuation on. What he brought in was a blue carbon fibre time-trial bike called a joker Here's what one looks like.. I told him it would be had to sell something like that as they are very specialist and the market in Guernsey isn't particularly strong for things like that.. He said 'damn, well i might just stick it in the classifieds for £200'. To which I went to the bank and withdrew £200 immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Nichols Posted October 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 What an ugly bike lolHaha yeah, ugly, but worth thousands!And that's cool one the esp, I can never understand why shops don't just stick their old stock on Ebay I'm trying to convince my boss to let me list things for him through Ebay for a percentage but he won't. Don't get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anzo Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 We found a few skag needles in a skip in plymouth.Haha, that made me about piss myself. I've found someones drug stash twice now, both times I was really young and drugs were a horrible, awful think that only kidnappers and murders took...then I grew up and realised its only mentalists and dole scum that take it...Anyways, one time we were playing hide and seek...happy sunny day, and then we saw this sofa seat, like the bits you sit on which are removable on some sofas...you know the kind.Anyway, it was slashed open with a knife and stashed FULL of pills, needles, powders and shit like that...being the goody-two-shoes we called the bacon and they came and took it.Second time we were on the school field, we were only allowed on it at summer and the rest of the time it was pretty much public. And someone had hid away a womans shopping back (or man bag if he was a bit...you know) and we found it, opened it and it was full of drugs, money, ID cards and credit cards.Again, teachers found out and took it away.Either time, I could have sold the lot and treated myself...ah well...if only I knew then what I knew now.
