I think I'm with you here!. That's an unusual policy (as far as I am
aware!).
Answer in 2 parts -
1. I'm not planning on any kit being returned except as goodwill i.e.
person in question has got moneys together and life sorted and bought a
new machine.
2. Why is your company's policy

Yeah there's a note on my todo list about writing a data destruction

I believe Jamies use a paid for tool (paid per use not by single

Hi Bryn,
Welcome to the list!
Any questions/comments send away!!
Well, the first thing that occurred to me reading your post was that you
were going to end up being associated with Jamies [1].
However, since it seems not, it's perhaps worth mentioning that
I've replied off list because I don't want to be inflammatory -
I visited Jamies about volunteering and when I saw the prices they
charged for kit it irked me!, also they had a lovely suite setup for
training and it hadn't been in use for some considerable time. My aims
are slightly different

This is true... but I think you got away with it Bryn! :-)
Seriously, there was nothing too inflammatory in the last post and I
agree with some of the points you made or alluded to regarding Jamies.
I am guessing
However, since it seems not, it's perhaps worth mentioning that the list
has an association with Jamies that goes back many years, although we've
not heard much about them of late save for the odd post that ends
something like: If no one wants any of this kit it'll eventually find
its way to
This is similar to what I was alluding to.
I in no way wish to put them down (that's not my place). I went there to
offer my l33t skillz as a volunteer and came away feeling like what I
just saw was a company that is defined as a social enterprise yet seems
to be using volunteers to refurb
Actually, the last few times I've tried to buy kit off them, I've failed
to do so. They have recruited a new Sales Prevention Officer. I suspect
the days of Jamies being a useful supplier are now past :-( An
organisation that will not part with useless old tat to a customer with

I think I met you very briefly Ally (male Ally?).
Whatever's been said here what Jamies are doing makes me happy (any

Well once I return to work I will try and give you guys more of a heads up of
