The tumble dryer sold for an amazing £26 - quids in! It's been paid for and picked up already. This was much more of a satisfactory conclusion than getting the council to take it away for free.
Posterity-worthy archive of final listing page and questions asked.
Very upsettingly my tumble dryer decided to start smoking in an unhappy 'I'm about to set on fire if you don't turn me off' kind of way on Tuesday night. After going out and buying another one, this time with 3 years warranty, I've decided to sell my old tumble dryer on eBay.
The fact that it's broken should not put people off, as I've tried very hard to make the listing appealing. It has so far generated many questions from interested parties.
It was either this or get the council to come and pick it up for free.
