Bloody red tape (rant!).

I've got an old fruit machine here that takes old 5 and 10p's.
It's not doing much, so went to all the aggro of taking photos and a short movie clip of it all in use. Then uploaded it all to youtube/photobucket (so I can add big photos to the listing without paying for them), wrote out all the details (£10 start for £9.85 worth of old coins) and the ba$tards won't list it as you need a bloody licence to sell one.

Looks like I'll have to break the bloody thing for spares now.

Did it earlier, but not sure if it'll stay.

Christ knows what it's worth, but it's a bit of fun.
One idea I had was to list the cash and a big fun moneybox for it to go in, but the problem with eBay is once they've seen it attempted before, they watch to see if you try and re-list later.

Considering it doesn't use money available today, I don't see any problem, but some jobsworth with a clipboard probably would.
