A polite note, as this seems to be becoming more prevalent again

Folks advertise a ‘CLEAR OUT’ on the classifieds, so the excitable/penny pinching/bored like me think “ooh, let’s have have a virtual dig through this particular bargain basket of goodies and see what gems we may find” only to open the thread and see a list of three things.

That’s not a clear out.

That’s three things.

So, the following definitions may help:

< 5 things = just some stuff, put them in the thread title
5-10 things = A few bits and bobs
10-15 things = A clear out
15-20 things = A big clear out
20+ things = Cosmic mega sale

No need to thank me 🙂

Are you the Rulez Guruz ?

Sorry, I just thought it was funny.

Er, yes. I mean no.

What?

Sorry, I just thought it was funny

Yeah, using your power to mock the powerless, hilarious.

You’ve changed maaaan, you changed.

Nah. He’s always been an arse 😀

I plead guilty 8)

My “clearout”, with some creative licence could be said to be a “cosmic mega sale” – should I change the title before I get hit with the banhammer?

Mini clearout, I’m always expecting the contents of a Mini car. sweet wrappers, empty bottles parking tickets etc etc

Nah. He’s always been an arse

Beat me to it, though I’d have gone with “git.”

Trouble is that your saying the current strategy works…

This is not really a moan, more a mild expression of discontent.

There I was opening this thread expecting some proper venting.

Disappointing.

I’m on the mildly peeved IHN side.

You didn’t post any photos or say what size it is. Not buying anything off you OP

< 5 things = just some stuff, put them in the thread title

15-20 things = A big clear out

nope.

<15 things = is it really worth mentioning?
10-15 things = just what I have lying on my kitchen worktop that I can’t be bothered to move.
15-20 things = 10-15 things + things on coffee table.
20-40 things = I’ve at least opened the shed door, and got some stuff out, stuff that is easy to reach.
40-99 things = shed door wedged open, some boxes moved, some boxes opened, most things put back thinking “i’m probably best holding on to that, just in case”.
100+ = Now we’re in mild clear out territory 😉
