    Would you pay a grand for a supermarket plastic bag? From Quinnsworth dated 1990.

    A mint condition Quinnsworth plastic bag.... (that'll bring back a few golden memories!)

    - Rare
    - Handle-free for ultimate versatility
    - Feather light, can be taken anywhere
    - Non Tesco
    - Waterproof up to 100m
    - Can be folded in half up to seven times for ease of storage
    - Low Density Polythene. carbon dated to 1990
    - Capacity of just under 7.56 litres (that's a lot of Dutch Gold)
    - Made in Gaoth Dobhair, Co. Donegal (100% Irish Plastic)

    Excellent condition, previously used to store HMV vouchers but I don't need them anymore.

    Will I have to pay the plastic bag tax? If not, I'm prepared to pay anything up to the plastic bag tax. Minus one percent. Including shipping.

    A thread on boards, about an article from the journal, which is now reporting on items for sale on adverts.

    All three owned by Daft Media.

    Nothing to see here, move along.

    If you put a brand new Audi R8 on Adverts.ie all you'd be offered for it would be some piece of junk that someone else has on adverts or a piece of string. Adverts is crap, full of trolls and morons.

    Those toys are really expensive in the ad from 1982!
    Monopoly board game £8.99, not really that much more expensive 30 years on.
