Hi all, sorry to post this here, but giving a few things a go for catching people outside my Facebook list.

Part of my prize for winning the latest series was a 13-inch 128GB Macbook Air, 2017 version. It's a great bit of kit, I have no doubt, but unfortunately it's just not really suited to my needs, and so I'm trying to find it a good home.

I could sell it on eBay or similar, but I'm trying to make sure it finds a good home still - it seems odd to be slightly sentimental about a machine that you're looking to sell, but I am.

It's currently retailing at £950 on the official Apple store. I'm open to sensible offers though. I'm not set up to take PayPal payments, so would ideally be looking for a bank transfer, or even cash if an exchange could be arranged easily.

If you're interested, please PM me with any offer or any questions you might have. I'll give it a couple of weeks before I look beyond Countdowners and my local area.

How come you wanna sell it Zarte?

I read it. I know what Zarte said. I just wanted to know why it wasn't good for him.

Because all of my devices are Windows, and Windows and Apple don't always play together so well when you try to make them talk (At least, they don't when I try and make them - it's probably easy for someone who's less technophobic). Additionally I already have a "serious" laptop for my job, so if I were to have a second one, I'd like one better for gaming with, which the Apple is not.

The apple laptop doesn't have a voice box, which is why he can't make them talk.

Isn't it an Adam's Apple?

K. Didn't realise laptops have voice boxes

You should go back to Countdown and swap it for the Dictionaries.

BTW , how much for your Countdown teapot, asking for a friend

I got dictionaries too, I just want to keep them. Teapot's not for sale either

I reckon you'd have no trouble finding a good home when you go to the CofCs....looking at your first round opponent maybe offer it as a bribe
