Throw it all out, you'll feel a lot cleaner for it.

You could always flog it. Maybe on the 'Buy and Sell' forum, I imagine that is what it is for!

A good clearout and some extra money is always good. When I lived in the UK I sold absolutely crap loads of stuff on ebay and at car boot sales. Fortunately they were demolishing the building we were living in at so there were loads of skips about for the unsaleable-knackered stuff.

I made about 3000 pounds selling stuff and junked the rest.

Korea has ebay and auction sites so maybe see if you can get the help of a Korean and sell a load of stuff.

Koreans are often into new things, if it is used they don't want to know about it. But you may luck out.

Failing that you could give the useful stuff to me Wink I'm getting married soon and we're going to need loads of things. PM me if you want to score some awesome Karma points and have anything that might be useful to me and the future missus.

If you look at the English papers or some of the free expat newsletters then they always carry adverts for international shipping services. I've never used one but I do know that ship is better than air as it is loads cheaper and you have a lot better chance of recieving the goods in one piece. Does take 3 months or so though to get it back to the UK.

So get a copy of the Korea Herald, the Korea Times and sort it out.

Stop making your life difficult!!

Buy a copy of the English language papers and they have loads of ads for firms who specialise in moving your gear overseas.

Is it that hard?

Is picking up a telephone a 'hard' thing to do?

I'm being a bit mean but that's fair. You're being a bit retarded! Just sort it out.


If you're having real problems then PM me and I'll see what I can do.
