I think you're bonkers, but then again other people would probably think I was bonkers for spending a fortune on Smurfs, so each to their own!


I'm off to list my chocolate wrappers on eBay...

I don't really have a lot to say in my defence. David can't believe I picked Wispa over Marathon

The Marathon was more expensive though wasn't it? Has your Wispa arrived yet? Was it tasty?

I don't think I have anything mega rare. I do have the limited edition Time Outs and Ccaramels from a few years ago, I have an old Buttons packet from the late 80's early 90's. I also have the limited edition Polo's and Chewits which were out a few years ago. And the Pink Yorkie wrappers!

I have a late 1970s Fry's 5 Centres wrapper and an old label from a bottle of drink called Fruitopia (can't remember when that was out) - I don't collect them I just used them as bookmarks and found them recently when clearing out my books in storage!

Keep hold of them, there is potential eBay profit in those!

I have never sold anything on eBay before, it all seems like a lot of hassle. I have bought loads of stuff though

Ok, send them to me and I will sell them for you. My 95% commission rate is very reasonable.

We do - addicts the lot of us.


My sister is going to a wedding and I was trying to persuade her last night to buy her outfit off eBay cos she couldn't find anything in the shops. She doesn't like second hand so I searched for BNWT (brand new with tags) items. She said 'oh my god, you have your own language!'
