This triggered me to check and I see from looking at surprising prices on-line I think perhaps I should blow the dust off my collection of 'pre-loved'  Wylex re-wirable fuses and bases and try and sell them. For one reaosn or another I have a few left over from jobs in  years past, and to me they are so much dead weight.

Mrs MAPJ1 is always complaining I keep too much junk, maybe I should be selling it  !

The irony for me is that it wasn't too many years ago that I spent an afternoon breaking them apart for the brass blades and copper braid inside for scrap!

I have a quite few of the old 1361 fuseholders and a smaller number of 3036 rewireables - all with their base covers too. Must check out prices - I haven't looked yet. Apparently since immediate -post-covid, the tax man is now monitoring all ebay transactions, especially those posted by those registered for self-employment, so be careful how much you make - you may get an unexpected tax bill as a consequence if you do too well!
