Emax

Hiya folks,

Sorry to dash anyones hopes but I'm having to rethink this idea. After already receiving an 
offer and looking into the postage, etc. I just can't justify the time and effort of packing 
this thing up organising a pick-up and waiting in for the van and dealing with the ensuing 
correspondence for the sake of fifty quid minus the paypal fees.

I must apologise for not working this out before writing the post. Maybe this means I'll be 
forced to bite the bullet and fix this thing.
Alan
