only a personal observation but having watched a couple of carbootycrapintheatticsendittoauction type progs over the years, i find what REALLY gets my back up is the excuses some people come up with to flog off hard won gongs.
ohhh, look mum, i'm on telly and can i get a couple of quid for this 'old junk' as the the kids don't play with it since uncle died etc etc.
what the hell is wrong with a box in the cupboard!!!!
