(Stay with us, it'll make sense.) They're really hard to get hold of - how kind of them.</p><p>Oh, and look, another gift from another of your thoughtful friends. Interesting packaging, it's a....nother Zigmatroid.</p><p>You've now got two Zigmatroids, when in all the world you can only ever need one. But you also know that both your friends are linked into your Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Bebo, Myspace, eBay and pretty much every other account you've ever created. So if you put your spare Zigmatroid up for sale on eBay or wherever, you'll insult not just one but both of them.</p><p>Trouble with the Zigmatroid being that it takes up valuable space in your already cramped residence. You really could do with getting shot of it.</p><p>What do you do?</p><div class="related" style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"><ul><li><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/ebay">eBay</a></li></ul></div><div class="author"><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/profile/charlesarthur">Charles Arthur</a></div><br/><div class="terms"><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk">guardian.co.uk</a> © Guardian News & Media Limited 2009 | Use of this content is subject to our <a href="http://users.guardian.co.uk/help/article/0,,933909,00.html">Terms & Conditions</a> | <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/help/feeds">More Feeds</a></div><p style="clear:both" />
