Less Talk, More Auction

Last January you vowed to get healthy. Again.

So when you sank all your Christmas money into a state-of-the-art juicer, it seemed a wise investment. Alas, since then, it’s done nothing but guilt-trip you from inside its unopened box under the kitchen counter.

An eBay moment? Most definitely. And, to make things easier, a service called Auctionicity will sell any object in the universe on the site for you (apart from live animals and children).

Relocating to another country (those plugs won’t work when you get there) or simply moving up the road? They’ll auction the entire contents of your house. They’ll even flog the building. If your object isn’t snapped up, they won’t charge you a penny. If it is, they keep a third of the takings and send you the rest in the post.

So you’ll have space in the kitchen for that indoor, fat-free barbecue grill you just know will change your life this summer.
