    This was left in a house I bought recently, owner said to dump it but I got it valued and its worth €200. Made in the 60s its G Plan and by E Gomme.

    Should I sell it or keep it?

    I remember those from my youth.
    You just almost made me puke when i saw the picture.

    It's up to you really ...sell it, get some money and buy something that you will appreciate. Or refurbish it/re-paint it etc into something modern .

    haha sorry!!

    Yeah I think I'll just sell it, it had a tag called GPlan by E Gomme on the back. I'm not sure if its actually worth anything though!

    I'd sell.. it'll probably just be in your way otherwise!

    Well, do you like it? Would you use it? I think that is your deciding factor!

    Personally I would sell it but would you get the €200 for it?

    Depends on if you think you would use it. It could be refurbished into something cool for sure, just comes down to creativity and if you have the time!
    If you can't be bothered, sell it. But you prob won't get full value out of it.
    There are a ton of cool DIY sites that could give you some ideas for a fun project, for sure what I would do!. Then in the end, turns in to something that you are proud of!

    This is what I did with a cheaper version of what you have - just removed the glass.
    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder & all that ;-)

    Where did your other half sell it if you don't mind me asking?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 545 ✭✭✭Pinkycharm
