Standing offer to anyone who thinks that their bley and dark bley and bright
brown are "worthless", made in all seriousness. I'll take them off your hands,
and pay the postage for you to send them to me, to boot.
I'd ask that you contact me first, as I reserve the right to decline very small
quantities that wouldn't be cost effective to acquire, but it is a real offer.
However I'm not expecting too many takers because I think when people start to
think are they worthless or just worth less to them, they'll decide they won't
want to give them away after all.
I could be wrong, and the upside of being wrong? Cheap parts that the former
owners didn't want anyway... .win win.
(although a better thing to do with bley you really don't want, rather than
binning it, is give it to a local charity or club)
