I'm never impressed by these types of statistics they never stand up to close 
scrutiny plus BT would make that claim as a way of apologising for the 
disgusting profits they make (And that from a guy who's customers say "At 
least Dick Turpin wore a mask you swine!")

??? My sorry was the fact that there was a small cash value not the size of 
the value.

You've re-iterated what I said e.g. he thinks your gonna offer "loads of 
money" when in fact  your gonna offer to use it as a door stop.

If it was my deal I would offer to dispose of it for him then charge a 
decomission fee, land fill disposal cost (keeping the unit really) and 
transport charges.

Win win win

So much for the desk costing £6000

Very quick true story (Mark Cook can confirm) had a customer broke his PC, I 
sold him a brand new dell power edge 500 for £500 he was getting the broken 
one replaced under insurance but through us, the deal was he would give, yes 
GIVE, us back the Dell we would then sell him an M series (very small pc) so 
I had made £500 shear profit 1st time of selling the Dell I made profit on 
the M series I then sold the Dell to someone else for another £500.
In the words of one of my fellow Londoners "Luvly Jubbly"
