    lol crazy but when you get into debt sometimes you need a drastic solution...although tbh going bankrupt would be a better idea, clear all his debts and under the current laws he would get to keep most of that stuff...

    Good on him I say, yeah its a bit extreme but atleast he is clearing it in one fell swoop which will give him a new start as I noticed hes met his reserve already so he must have had a high enough bid already to clear it. Guessing that hes used Credit Cards and credit in general and hence why he wants the quick sale as the interest will be phenominal and he will most likely be getting letters from debt collectors and courts.

    I agree, good on him at least he's taken responsibility for the debt he's got himself into, and hopefully learned lessons for the future

    Unless one is very good at self control it is so easy to get into debt, with interest rates so low anyone can get a loan or whatever. It is mad and drastic, but thats what it takes sometimes.

    No wonder he's in so much flipping debt - the first set of items cost enough on their own!!!

    £900 new from Richer Sounds - but you need to add stand/wallmount plus a couple of boards to accept signals. So £1200-1250 total. PW7 was one of the best plasmas ever made.

    I heard it first on radio 1 news. I'll see if I can dig out a link for you .

    EDIT - can't .

    EDIT2 - look at the bottom of his ebay page for all the news pages he's been in .

    Anyway - I think this is a KIND OF good idea. How can you sell EVERYTHING?? Surley you'd need SOME clothes. Yes, sell MOST of them, but not ALL of them .

    If he listed the main items on therer own, then he would up the money he made. I get the dont want to list everything, but lising in smaller groups could maximise the profit. I think i wouldnt buy unless i saw a full list.
