A polite note, as this seems to be becoming more prevalent again

Folks advertise a 'CLEAR OUT' on the classifieds, so the excitable/penny pinching/bored like me think "ooh, let's have have a virtual dig through this particular bargain basket of goodies and see what gems we may find" only to open the thread and see a list of three things.

That's not a clear out.

That's three things.

So, the following definitions may help:

< 5 things = just some stuff, put them in the thread title
5-10 things = A few bits and bobs
10-15 things = A clear out
15-20 things = A big clear out
20+ things = Cosmic mega sale

No need to thank me 🙂

Yeah, using your power to mock the powerless, hilarious.

My "clearout", with some creative licence could be said to be a "cosmic mega sale" - should I change the title before I get hit with the banhammer?

Trouble is that your saying the current strategy works...

This is not really a moan, more a mild expression of discontent.

There I was opening this thread expecting some proper venting.

Disappointing.

< 5 things = just some stuff, put them in the thread title
5-10 things = A few bits and bobs
10-15 things = A clear out
15-20 things = A big clear out
20+ things = Cosmic mega sale

nope.

<15 things = is it really worth mentioning?
10-15 things = just what I have lying on my kitchen worktop that I can't be bothered to move.
15-20 things = 10-15 things + things on coffee table.
20-40 things = I've at least opened the shed door, and got some stuff out, stuff that is easy to reach.
40-99 things = shed door wedged open, some boxes moved, some boxes opened, most things put back thinking "i'm probably best holding on to that, just in case".
100+ = Now we're in mild clear out territory 😉
