'A used and 'blown' large light bulb for approx £8.00. The couple who bought it travelled 30 miles to collect it.'

Oh yes...some people collect large and obsure light bulbs. 

  My husband does. 😞

I did sell one for him though, on here about 20 years ago.  A vast, intricate glass object that looked more like a sculpture .

It sold for 500 quid!!

And the bloke who bought it travelled over from Belgium to the N.E.C. and picked it up (for cash...ahh the good old days...)  from hubby, as they were going to the same (techie-stuff) exhibition.....

I was gob-smacked by the whole thing 😲
