    Default AOS Swapshop!

    Just an idea, but I have various hifi related bits and bobs that are not really worth enough to sell but worth enough not to throw away. Rubber isolation feet, Media Centre remotes that will work on Windows, Android and Kodi, the odd cable, various adapters, etc..

    Just wondering if anyone else has accumulated such curiousios and if it is worth having a swapshop thread so we can offer the odd potentially useful thingy and have a bit of fun trying stuff out?

    I'd be up for that, if Marco's ok with it I'll post a few bits I have. Might be an idea to give an approximate indicative trade in value as I might want to swap a few bits for a single higher value item for example.

    Yep I've got plenty of cables and a few valves I don't have time to do a decent sales post on but wouldn't have a problem with swapping for other bits and bobs.
