My junk was from a previous house where I had a 20ft x 12ft shed!
I had a major sort out and only kept the "essentials". 3 years later and I haven't used most of it, so has to go!
My Dad has recently volunteered for a local charity shop that deals solely on tools and DIY type stuff, along with some gardening boys too.
Have given everything to him to take in. Hopefully they will profit nicely. The shop sells for profit to everyday folk, but also sell cheaper to local people who are learning a trade. Profit goes into local area too, so works pretty well in fairness.

No, what did the bike ever do to you 
Oh not that sort of bike hanging, sorry I'm bored

Those are very nice, if you're planning on mounting horizontally. Pricey though.

My bike hanging hooks have arrived. They are pretty impressive chunks of metal ...
No wonder the Chinese economy is going through a blip - how on earth do they manufacture 4 items as substantial as these, and ship them to the UK at a price low enough that a dealer can flog them to me for £9.99, pay Yodel to deliver them, pay eBay fees and still make a worthwhile profit!
Anyway - here's a picture of them.
I had allocated one wall to them but my sister suggested that I use the opposite wall instead. I agree with her reasoning which was that they would have been very prominent in the original location, whereas the second wall is tucked away to the side of the doorway.
I'll do another post when I have the hooks in place with bikes hanging from them.

Mine arrived at my local Argos yesterday. No time to get them until Monday though.
Totally agree with you @ColinJ. Artificially pegging your currency so low against the Dollar for so long might have something to do with the production cost minimisation.
A mate used to work for M&P, a large motorcycle accessory and parts company. One example he gave was for tank pads. Rubberised plastic pads shaped for the tank with various designs behind, to protect tank from your zip scratching it. They bought them for 0.001p each. Yes, 1,000 for 1p! Then sold them for between £8 and £15 a pop!
