We got back, and retired hurt to our two different adjacent<br />

flats, Julie say<strong>in</strong>g she was hungry and needed lunch, so to<br />

unpack my stuff later. Later that <strong>after</strong>noon, fea<strong>the</strong>rs still<br />

ruffled by this junk shop <strong>in</strong>cident, I remembered that when I<br />

played golf 20 years ago, golf shops were <strong>the</strong> place to buy and<br />

sell clubs. However when I rang <strong>the</strong> local club and was put<br />

onto <strong>the</strong> pro shop, he could not buy <strong>the</strong>m – and <strong>in</strong> fact<br />

suggested sell<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong>m on eBay on <strong>the</strong> Internet!<br />

Luckily I remembered <strong>the</strong> username and password of my very<br />

old eBay account that I had not used for years. Indeed, it<br />

seemed possible to sell <strong>the</strong> clubs <strong>the</strong>re, as well as certa<strong>in</strong> of my<br />

o<strong>the</strong>r items. A bronze statuette of a nude couple <strong>in</strong> an embrace<br />

should also fetch a good price, as should my old ski boots, my<br />

car dent repair kit, and f<strong>in</strong>ally least of all, a bracelet <strong>with</strong> old<br />

Japanese co<strong>in</strong>s on it! So I photographed <strong>the</strong>m all later, and<br />

plan to put adverts on eBay for <strong>the</strong>m tomorrow even<strong>in</strong>g, so<br />

<strong>after</strong> a week of auction it will be Monday week even<strong>in</strong>g when<br />

<strong>the</strong> auctions end – time for people to decide over <strong>the</strong> weekend.<br />

In <strong>the</strong> meantime, I had a t<strong>in</strong>y budget as of Saturday to buy a<br />

camera – at a budget price of £329.99 based on <strong>the</strong> price <strong>in</strong><br />

Argos for <strong>the</strong> very cheapest Nikon or Olympus E420 camera <strong>in</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> catalogue. Could I get a better deal on eBay? Indeed I<br />

could and bought <strong>the</strong> follow<strong>in</strong>g complete Olympus E450 KIT for<br />

just under £6 <strong>more</strong> than my supposed budget at £335.90: -<br />

• Olympus E450 <strong>with</strong> variable 18-42mm lens.<br />

• Two o<strong>the</strong>r lenses – a fixed wide angle and a fixed X2<br />

telephoto lens – not very useful but better than noth<strong>in</strong>g till<br />

I sold stuff on eBay <strong>next</strong> week and could buy a proper<br />

telephoto lens for about £100 on eBay not £244 at Argos!<br />

• An 8 GB flash card that costs about £35 each <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> shops<br />

• A spare battery – very expensive and very useful <strong>in</strong>deed.<br />

I could keep a charged up spare battery <strong>with</strong> me all <strong>the</strong><br />

time <strong>in</strong> case <strong>the</strong> battery <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> camera ran out<br />

• A full size tripod and a portable tripod<br />

• A flash gun<br />

• Delivery <strong>with</strong> <strong>in</strong>surance<br />

• F<strong>in</strong>ally, a case<br />
