I'm still undecided on whether this is just the unsaleable stuff.

I think that most of such a mixed lot not bought for a specific purpose would go in the Lead/Plastic Alps for quite a while, anyway, but you never know.Argonorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05019172583849638439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-68405374655688721092014-12-15T12:11:55.916+00:002014-12-15T12:11:55.916+00:00Nothing like the fun of a mystery box, eh C6!

Its an interesting collection of items especially for someone who has a wide variety of projects you can use bits here and there and it becomes quite a useful selection really.
