It got so big, I had to do a spin-off!

I'm back on eBay! Hurrah - here's the link: eBay 1 And here's what it says if you can't be bothered to look at the link. (Though please do, it would be nice to sell some stuff!)

Welcome to another of my eBay specials. For those that don't know me, I'm a poor young ex-student living with two equally (if not more so, but not likely) poor still-students.

Today we have for your veiwing pleasure, buying, or just plain amusement, is one perfectly good broken chocolate stoneware Habitat "Dune" plate. It's microwavable, and dish-washer proof. (We have neither, so I can't experiment to tell you how true this is.) It is new. Well, newly broken anyway. I dropped it this morning and split my finger on one edge. Do note: we accept no responsibility for said plate or any accidents with said plate once purchased. (We accept no responsibility at all if we can help it.)

It's been lovingly washed by me (firstly to remove last night's dinner, secondly to remove where I bled on it. Sorry about that.) and will be carefully packaged in your choice of media; we have: old newspaper, cardboard or bubble wrap. (But really, what's the point? It's already broken...) Tell you what, if the bidding gets above 3p, I'll even throw in the 2p it's measured up with - how's THAT for a bargain!? (See, we may be poor, but we've got hearts of gold. Sadly, the bank won't accept that to pay loans...)

And because I could, here's another one. eBay 2

Ah hello there, and welcome to one of my delightful eBay specials. For those unfamiliar with my work (or lack of), I'm a broke young ex-student living with two equally brassic students-still-at-Uni.

Today, specifically for your browsing and purchasing pleasure, we have one beautiful broken wine glass. It's supposed to be dish-washer-proof, but I wouldn't know; we don't have a dishwasher. (Or a sofa. Or anything really for that matter...)

It is new. Well, newly broken anyway. It hasn't been used (for obvious reasons) but has been lovingly washed, dropped and then left on the windowsill to develop these stunningly artistic waterstains; they must be seen to be believed! It also comes with a delicate powdering of dust, adding to the already superb aesthetic value, neatly highlighting the cracks with startling clarity! It no longer makes that humming sound when you run a damp finger around the top. Instead, it sort of rattles, and "OW!"s.

Do note: we accept no responsibility for this glass or any accidents with said glass once purchased. (We accept no responsibility for anything at all if we can help it.)

Because we're such a nice bunch, we even give you a choice of packaging materials, in which to transport this peice of student artwork. We've got: bubblewrap, old newspaper (or a new one if the bidding gets over 35p, we're good like that!) and/or cardboad. We may even be able to scrounge up some kitchen roll! (Why you'd want to, I'm not sure - it is already broken after all... But hey, the customer is always right!)

Even better, if the bidding goes to 3p or more, we can even give you the 2p for measuring purposes - how good is THAT!? (See, we're very poor, but we've can just about scrape a heart of gold between us. Sadly, the water company won't accept these, but oh well...)

Any questions, please feel free to ask. But don't expect a sensible answer all the time.
