Subject: RE: Declutter & Fitness November 2011
I'm just collecting together details for some items to put on ebay - and now have to put them on hold till tomorrow because of a free listings option. But I don't think I'm eligible as I have no history. I have a telscope eyepiece from I don't know where, and ancient ammeter (or similar), a pocket microscope with a history, and a box of wooden blocks originally for teaching density.

I saw the microscope, a neat design, on a fleamarket stall, and picked it up to look at. The stall holder was deep in a conversation with a friend. I took it out of the box and opened it up, putting the slide in place. The stall holder took no notice and continued her private chat. At some point, the slide snapped. I tried to catch her eye, but the conversation continued. I waited. No change. I moved about. No change. I replaced everything and put the box down. Nothing. Then I started to move away, to be accused of all sorts of bad behaviour. Naturally I bought it, and have replaced the slide. But I don't go near that stall any more.
