I have about 25 concrete paving slabs (60cm x 90cm)
Mostly grey in colour (with a few red) they need a bit of a clean but are in decent condition.
Free to anyone who wants to collect them (Stockport area).

I don’t believe this is the best place to advertise them, try the loot, if you can be arsed with all the time wasters.

you could try ebay. Start the price at 1p, no reserve, buyer to collect. That way youmight get something for them, and everyones a winner!
you'd be surprised what you can sell on there. I did a demolition job on a swimming pool, and the filtration system I skipped, but sold ther motor for £120. Gutting thing was, I had loads of emails asking to buy the filtration system!!

Thanks for your reply gents.
Given that they are gathering (more) dust in the garden at the moment, I'll give them a try.
Thing is, I could skip them but why should I waste perfectly good stuff?!
I tried the council, who would use them, but they wouldn't collect them! cheeky gets!!!!

The best thing to do is get the smallest skip you can and throw them in it, sorry mate but its not worth the hassle or wasted space.
Unless the guy next door needs a few and is lucky enough to read your add you wont get a penny for them, ie; if they are perfectly good stuff why did you not leave them where they were. :(
