Pair of Pinnacle SoundBridge M400PX wifi music streamers (Marchmont EH9)
NB These are OLD - mid noughties - and the hardware/firmware is limited to old levels of wifi (802.11b and WEP/WPA but not WPA2), so anyone wanting to make serious use of them is probably going to want to run a well firewalled wifi access point to serve them if they don't want to have to lower the rest of their wifi network security. Unfortunately there's no wired ethernet port (these were the budget option in the range). There's some sort of SD card slot but I've never tried using that. Nevertheless they've been in recent use, and can usefully stream MP3/AAC (not sure what other formats) internet radio (18 presets) and see a UPnP home server (I use MediaTomb/Gerbera) and play stuff from that. One original PSU (one died), but they just use 5V so there's also a USB-to-device power cable that should work with any 2A USB power adapter/port. 2 remote controls (one the buttons now seem to need harder presses, the other one works better). Just putting them up here in case they're of any interest to a tinkerer. One interesting aspect is that you can telnet (that shows their age) into them to get a command line allowing just about everything to be controlled remotely (I can dig up the manual for it as a PDF); it's by far the easiest way to set the presets.

It’s a black leather jacket, well-worn, like, 40 years old from riding motorcycles when I was a teenager, with a circular (cigarette?) burn on the outside, OMD AAA stickers on the inside, four pockets, probably a size 12 (when I was a teenager!).

Worn Blue Desk Chair on Wheels (Needs Cover / Workshop Use) (Letham DD8)
A second-hand blue office chair with wheels. Already worn when I got it, then further use and I have a cat. It's actually quite comfortable. Good if you don't mind the cosmetic damage or it would be ideal for a simple reupholstery project. The mechanism all work fine, the wheels are a bit stiff on thick carpet. Happy to include the little cushion.

Upcycled Fold-Down Desk / Storage Shelf Unit (Letham DD8)
Basic upcycle project. It’s a simple low shelving unit modified with a wooden top panel attached on hinges to create a fold-down. When the panel is up technically it stands on its own but as it can be risky I put a screw eye hook to tie it to something but never had to use it, I just put those two bookends that I can include. Basic DIY job, but functional if you need a compact workspace.

IKEA Lycksele Double Sofa Bed Frame & Mattress (Letham DD8)
I got it second-hand a few years ago. The metal fold-out frame works well. The feet are a bit worn out. The mattress was stained/discoloured already on one side when I got it, but it is dry and clean - just cosmetic water/age marking. It's not in perfect conditions as you can see but it served me well and I think it has many more years still as a basic/emergency sofa that turns into a huge single bed or small double bed. I honestly think it's a bit of a waste to just throw it away but I'm moving and I can't take it with me. You can throw a blanket on it as I've been doing or buy the official slipcover at Ikea

Wooden, wall mounted plate and mug rack (Craigleith EH4)
This is a sold wood wall rack for plates/bowls/mugs. Ancient but still functional. Bit worn at edges (see photos). Much loved but won’t fit in our new kitchen. The two screws we used are attached (masking tape on end), they may do for new owner too. Dimensions: 64 cm long, 26 cm deep, 44.5 cm high.
