Is the implication that I'm stealing by posting things for free? I suppose you're right, but let me justify it to you. The reason that I am deciding to sell off these parts is that my employer is not paying me for the next 5 months. This is not illegal, I knew it would happen, and I have some savings so that I don't end up homeless. Regardless, it feels a lot like I'm being shafted, so the idea of bending the rules at my employer's cost doesn't exactly fill me with shame. I could sell this stuff locally on Facebook or whatever but people on here are nicer and it seems like I'm less likely to have to deal with pillocks who agree to buy something and then fail to show up, and I wanted people here to have first dibs on what is admittedly a fairly boring set of cheap parts. So it seemed like a win-win - a slight cost saving on parts for people here, less hassle for me, a forum donation somewhere in the mix. But you're right, I should just do it properly. No worries

It's not me you need to convince :)

Sell to people who have bought stuff on here before and have been good? Isn't there a good buyers thread or something? It's a risk for sure... Where do you live? Can you maybe do a drop off on a weekend or something if the train or bus is only a few quids? Meet everyone at Look Mum or some central ish location. That'd still hopefully save you postage / fare and you get cash on the day not having to worry about paypal etc...

Just steal enough from the petty cash tin at work to cover proper postage.
