Beauty in a bottle

No, we are not talking about the latest unguent purported to bestow perpetual good looks to those who use it. We are talking about bottles as ornaments or collectors' pieces.

Just look at them and you will have to agree that antique and collectable bottles make a subtle, yet impactful statement for any interior.

Old magazines, what they're good for

For one thing, they are good for selling on bidorbuy, which is much better than leaving them to collect dust!

And why would anyone buy your old magazines?

Well, probably for the same reason you keep them. Some things never go stale. A few months or even a few years old editions of food, golfing, DIY, etc. magazines are as good as the latest issues, and so much cheaper. Besides, many of the 1000-plus magazines on offer on bidorbuy are highly collectable. See for yourself.

Off to the Olympics?

You'll be glad to know that our thoughtful sellers have made available to you a host of guides and books on London.

Rain notwithstanding, London is a fascinating and riveting city. Make the most of your stay and see as much as you can in-between cheering for team SA at the 2012 Olympic Games.

Wish we were there too!
