Hi all,

Some of you know that I've since I qualified as a medic, I've been trying to save up for some medical equipment.
I've managed to get quite a bit of my equipment but I'm really struggling to get 1 item, specifically a 1L oxygen cylinder and a regulator which retails for about R1500 (both items combined)

Not really that much to most people but impossible it seems for me!

I need it if I want to do private stuff (medical related jobs and such)

I've been saving for going on 6 months and every time I think I've got enough, something comes along and nails my savings! :(

Anyways, I'm not going to cry like a baby (even though I want to!) so what I've decided to do is do something I've never wanted to do and that is sell my PC games collection!

Have a look please, spread the news if need be and help me raise the money please.

Thanks guys!

Another item I'm selling: http://mybroadband.co.za/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=19903

Paintball MOLLE vest, if any of you guys know anyone who might be interested, forward on the URL.

And another item; http://mybroadband.co.za/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=19905

Eish that sucks. Will take a look
.

You can buy them back when you have the cash :D
 
gdiza, are you willing to ship? I'd kill for that Gears of War copy you have, assuming you haven't linked it to a LIVE account :D

I am willing to ship - Speed, R60 (overnight with tracking), however (mmmmmm!) I think I might have linked it to my live account - I'm not actually sure because I haven't really played it because, If I remember correctly, I had dramas with the Live account (region drama) and could only create an offline account.

If you can tell me how to check (make sure) and then how to remove it, I'll gladly do it.

Lycan; I've logged into my "Games For Windows" account and had a look, nothing anywhere about Gears of War being linked.

Sign in at http://live.xbox.com and you should be able to check.

And thanks, gdiza. Personally, I'd sooner be castrated than sell my games :o So, much sympathy goes out to you :(

Any chance of throwing Dead Space in for R50 :whistle: (Worth a shot :erm:)

Edit: And if this is you, then it doesn't look like it :D

I'll be nice - I'll give you Dead Space for R70... support me here!!! :)

Too bloody late, I've already paid you!

And anyway, Dead Space is, to me, more of a "nice to have" than something I desperately want so it's not urgent enough to warrant more than R50 :D
 
Hey,

Plz pm me your banking details. I will give you a rand or 2. Don't really need any of those game, but I still want to help you out. You do a lot for the community there. :)

Ok dokes! I'll aim to send the game off by end of today (even before, so it gets to you tomorrow) and will PM you the tracking - if I can't, tomorrow latest.

I'm too loyal to MyBB, so that's why I didn't post there, but I have just posted a thread there... exact same... I hope RPM etc don't consider it spam! :(

Naaah, I sincerely doubt it. It's not like you're going into every sub-forum now is it? :D

Slightly off topic... If you are a BAA you need to be careful about working by yourself... From HPCSA ruling http://www.hpcsa.co.za/downloads/emergency_care/board_rulings.pdf the BAA falls under the category of supervised practice. If anything goes wrong and an enquiry is opened any medical cover (which you MUST have) will be null and void since you were practising illegally.

True, but I always have advanced people (ILS, ALS) working with me (as you would expect)

The problem is and maybe you'll know from experience that they never bring the correct equipment or the equipment never works properly etc.

This is where I am different, I have my own stuff and I look after my own stuff which means I know what is happening all the time with my own stuff.

This is true for even when I work on the ambulances - I have my own stock!
90% of the time, ambo's will miss X or Y and the stock room won't have it, so I have it.
Costs me at the end of the day - but I don't care - I am out there to provide the best patient care I can and will do that no matter what.

EDIT: The only time I don't take my own stuff is when I work at hospitals (stock-a-plenty!) - then I use their stock and then I'm under supervision of a actual doctor. :D

Hi all,

Just a quick update, just need to sell a few more games, I'm R500 away from getting the money I need to get my goodies!

Just need to sell a few more games!
 
Hi all,

Final update!
I have raised the money required... but I have to mention that I didn't do it by selling games (I did sell a couple) instead, a couple of MyBB members came to the party and helped me.
I won't rattle on about this now... I will be posting a new thread thanking everyone personally soon - with pictures and such of the items purchased.

:D !!! :D !!! :D !!!
