Retail Sales

We have been trading on the Internet since the last century - our first shopping website opened in February 1999, and we have been members of eBay since November 1999. Today we trade on eBay, our own websites and other online marketplaces. We sell thousands of items every year to customers in the UK and many other countries.

Prior to 2005, we operated retail shops in Bournemouth and Poole selling a wide range of items.  Due to the excessive and increasing costs of operating retail outlets, we closed our last shop in September 2005, and since then we have only traded online.

We sell a wide variety of items both new and used. Everything we sell is packed and despatched by ourselves from the UK.
Apart from human error (very rare), all of the items we have listed are in stock and can be despatched immediately. We never use drop-shippers or other dubious sources.

Notice to anyone selling products and services

If you have something to sell, please send details by postal mail.

We do NOT purchase any products or services via the telephone or email. We do not pay for adverts on calenders, posters, shop display boards or appointment cards. We will not be purchasing your overpriced toner cartridges, donating money to your ficticious charity, or requesting a free entry in your expensive business directory. Neither do we care about your free gifts, adverts in magazines which will never be published or winnings from competitions we didn't enter.

If you are selling home improvements such as windows, kitchens or conservatories, please note that the property is a rented underground cave on the 99th floor of a condemmed tower block.

If you are selling gas, electricity, telephone or other utilities, please note there is NO way you can save us any money. The entire process of changing supplier takes weeks or even months, inevitably results in mistakes by the companies concerned, and will cost us dozens of hours of wasted time.

If for some reason you are promoting financial 'services' such as high rate consolidation loans, methods to reclaim bank charges we never paid or ways to defraud the insurance industry by making claims for injuries no one ever sustained, please save time and report yourself to the relevant authorities before we do.

If you are selling shopping cart systems, accounting, invoicing, stock control or similar software, please note we have NO interest in these things whatsoever. Our websites and other systems are all designed and maintained in-house, and have been since 1996. That's right - years before your company even existed.

If you work for a company selling website design services, do NOT contact us. We don't want to hear your opinion of our current websites either - they are designed so that our customers can purchase items, not so that employees of overpriced design boutiques can review them.

If you are also fed up with persons attempting to sell you things which you neither want or need, please feel free to copy the above text for use on your own website or wherever else.
