I was looking through the camping section of eBay when I stumbled upon this camp table/chair set.
eBay

It wasn't the table set that caught my eye it was crap in the back ground that did.
So I looked at the sellers other crap. Every one of their items is the same kinda back ground. There's crap everwhere. And the photos are dated 2005/02/20, whats doin' there?

Have a look you might find a bargin. Looks like it's in good nik and something for everybody. :))

Holy Crap.

I've never seen anything like it.
Most of the descriptions say "as traded"
Can't be serious, What did they trade it in on?. (^-o-^)

Hi John,
I could spend hours in there.
Brings back memories of going to the local tip with dad and my brother when we were kids.
We'd come back with more than we took, to Mums horror.

If you have a good look you will notice no less than 8 "dead" whipper snippers. Mum & Dad had one of those table & Chair sets and you reckon I wasn't dark when I found out it went to the dump. However, guess what I found in the outlaws shed. Heavy, bulky, bloody dangerous sometimes but a great set for when you're set up for a few days. Mate around the corner has 2, now there is Steptoe & Son......

Hey guys, there are some items there that are worth a little more than what he is selling them for...the dragster bike for instance are now collectors items as they are no longer made. Buy it, clean it up and quadruple your money...truly !!!

Another is the baby basinette ...I sold a very similar one last year for $120 !!!!!!!

Go figure

I live in Sydney otherwise I would be there checking his stuff out. Obviously he has that much junk and does not know the value of most of it.

Bit overpriced for that crap !!! -- Friend of mine works for the council and used to do the collections ( large rubbish you leave out the front)

should see some of the stuff he has collected .... Surf boards , water skiis - LOTS of kids bikes in good working order - kids activity sets ( the large plastic ones kids climb all over ) BOXES of dvds , CD's

keep telling him he should sell this stuff on ebay --- never does

Unless they have only now been able to put batteries in their camera.
I know, there are a few things that don't seem right.
Like,

air compressor head suit electrical petrol driven motor, What the?
this compressor head was working when it came off, a week to two weeks ago.
Why did you pull it off if it was working?

Weird stuff
