Who cares?
End of week one of planning to close the office and I’ve disposed of a phenomenal amount of ‘junk’. Well, it’s not really junk but no-one wants it unless, of course, it’s pretty much for free. Put a laptop on Ebay for 99p plus £49.99 postage. At the end of the day it’s a laptop (working, albeit a little elderly) for £50 – I thought it was a pretty good deal. Someone complained that you could post a laptop for £14. What do you want? That I deliver it and you pay £2?
I have loads of completely pristine books but the technology they explain is too old to make them interesting anymore. It’s not worth putting them on for 99p and £2.50 postage.
And that’s the nub of the problem, everything is out of date before it even gets to you so it’s worthless as soon as you see it. What’s the point of buying stuff?
But hey, I can throw it away so who cares?
