Having struck lucky with a couple of the books I put up on eBay the other day, I suddenly thought I'd hit on the perfect way to clear an entire box out of my storage unit - my priceless collection of Doctor Who VHS videos. Well, priceless turns out to be the word, but not in the way I thought.
Not a single one has received a bid, even at a starting price of 50p. It seems these treasures, from 25 to 30 years ago, aren't wanted, and are destined to be cast into The Recycling Pit Of Terror. Ironically cast there by the very people who spent the last 30 years bemoaning the fact that the BBC threw away so many tapes just a few years before.
Should there be a keen VHS collector out there with holes to fill in their complete set, here's the list of what is on eBay for the next week (and in Somerset landfill a week hence)...
