Dead saws.. what are they worth?

I had a similar stash, gave away the 5 200ts to a member who was going to build one decent one, last I heard he still hadn’t done it.
 
I would put up the 200s for £200 the lot, the 084 for £150 and chuck the rest in the skip.

I wish I could do the same with the amount of junk my missus hoards in the house [emoji23] I’m not brave enough though lol.

Having cleared my 92 year old fathers four bedroom house last year, it made me focus on how much shyte I have in my life and how little I need it.....apart from in the workshop!!!!!

We had to clear our parental home a few years ago.

 

It has made me messianic about getting rid of stuff you don’t need.

Ten year rule applies, if something's not been of any use in ten years it never will so get rid of it. That includes the wife/chick, just need to practice what I preach .

It was honestly one of the most traumatic things I’ve ever done, load after load of worthless rubbish to the tip, where I was interrogated every time like a criminal.

 

The worst of it was my elderly father seeing everything disappearing and saying “that’s worth money, don’t chuck that away”
 

He was moving into sheltered accommodation and needed 5% of the stuff in the house.

 

I promised to myself never to subject any of my nephews to that.

Yes, pretty much the same, around four big skips full, the rest to the house clearance people. It gives me a different perspective on my stuff. My old man went in to care and still says...if you go in to the kitchen, in the last cupboard on the left........ unfortunately, it won't be there any more!

The worst was after numerous interviews at the entrance to the tip, the ‘gatekeeper’ asked where the stuff was coming from, I explained that my father was moving into sheltered accommodation and we were emptying the tied cottage on the farm where he worked, he looked at his clipboard with its list of questions and said “how exactly is he related to you?” I stared at him for about 20 seconds, just to let it sink in, then said “he’s my dad”

 

We didn’t get any questions after that.

 

I love England, but sometimes the pressure of population means that stuff gets a little nuts over there.

I thought it, but he’s just doing his job.

Cleared my dads stuff 18 months ago when he died, found a cupboard full of re-wrapped presents that he was “keeping good “ . Fortunately we were the same size so I inherited a few nice jumpers! 
Also found his old airforce uniform which I’ve kept, he was a Korean veteran, he sold his medals years ago for charity. 
Got the 3rd degree from the guy at the tip, as I didn’t live in the area, nearly gave him the full benefit of my opinion of him.
