Their bits and bobs are very useful. Old cards, keyboards, cables etc. And I
have bought a printer there. Many of us buy there whenever we want something
a bit "dated". I have always been very satisfied with what I have bought
from Jamie's; but I have never in fact bought a computer from them. They are
meeting a demand, even if it is not your demand.

I doubt that it will be a condition of entry that every individual buy
something, and I for one am happy to buy some bits and bobs to replenish my
stock. I might even be lucky and find a Microsoft Intellimouse.
