Lets face it.......folk can buy these from a local mymums store for less than what it will cost them in postage to offer an alternative offer.....what's happened to this thread ? .
It's never been abaht value , but it's becoming unrealistic.....how does it drop from quality , useful to mymums ???

Remember........One mans rubbish is another mans treasure
Saying that though it does seem someone will take an item worth £20 and offer something from Poundland.
Those sharpeners are good IMHO and its well worth having a hexi as backup or for demos etc (I've got at least one of each)

The things i'm offering aren't from poundland and are items that I genuinley moving on 'cause i no longer need them- i thought that was the point? If they are not the things that people need and that disappoints them then I guess they'll have to live with the disappointment. I recently bought a small woodfired cooker from the forum as a back up so no longer need the hex stove and have a couple of the sharpeners dotted about the place so can afford to move on of those on. I'm not sure how you can judge equivilence as the things i've asked for have been things i've needed at the time and weren't taken based on value

Currently on offer from nuggets:

Either: a needle (no thread) OR a handful of ferret fur

Whoa whoa whoa. You've taken my comment wrong I reckon. That's not what I meant. I wasn't saying your stuff was from Poundland or 99p shop (if they did do those sharpeners and cookers I'd get a load and sell on later at demo's etc) but some stuff on here is, as you can see by the packaging. I said that both of your items are worth having as I've got both here
Remember this thread was started with a folding shovel (as found in Poundland :rofl:)

BTW I think nuggets offer was a joke wasn't it?

No worries Kev, thank you for the intervention. I do think that was what was being implied...not sure what 'my mums' is but there's nothing wrong with the items i'm offering- they are both quaity and useful, just not to me at this point in time which is why i've offered them.

okay currently on offer:

a small (A4ish sized) foraging bag- very useful and used by me until recently when is was replaced by something bigger- looks a bit like this:

OR- a lightly used pocket knife sharpener like this


http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Silverline-Diamond-Sharpening-Pen-427537-/171080313605?pt=UK_Hand_Tools_Equipment&hash=item27d52e6b05

or a cooker like this:

OR- a ceramic drop spindle weight, just like the one in the picture below- you'll have to get your own stick but its ideal for making nettle cordage

I'm going to be away from the 'net most of next week but will get back to any requests when i can, cheers
