200p Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 That'll be about right, the home OWNER needs a pond dug, which will add £1000s to the property value! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
200p Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 This harks back to Capital in the 21st Century. The asset is everything, labour is nothing. If you check out his other items, he's got some rare collectible items or "assets" such as transformer toys, that have got bids on them for over £100. Those toys are accruing more value each day, whilst he sell's his labour for an entire week for less than one tenth of those toys. At the higher level, if you buy a house, then it's going to earn more than you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

200p Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 On 06-Dec-14 at 11:51:14 GMT, seller added the following information: I'd like to thank everyone for the overwhelming support I am receiving regarding this listing and the press coverage. This is the first time in my life I have been unemployed I am a highly skilled and motivated proud man who is merely seeking employment so I can provide for myself and family, but I am not alone and 1000's of people are applying for the same jobs as me meaning 1000's of us go un-noticed. I wish to thank you all for your generous offers of cash donations and gifts for the family but I have everything I need to make Christmas happy. There are people, children out there who desperately need your donations. If you would really like to make a difference please donate to the charity of my choice Ty Hafan. They would truly appreciate everything you can spare. Very Merry Christmas Everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
