Broken or unwanted small items for repair (Tiptree CO5)
I’m looking for small items that might otherwise be thrown away, particularly games consoles and controllers, cordless tools and tool bodies, small audio equipment, hand tools and toolboxes, cameras or similar small electronics. Working, faulty or incomplete items considered. I repair, reuse for parts or resell suitable items as a small side project, so please only respond if you’re comfortable with that. I can only take items that one person can carry and that will fit in a car. I cannot take large furniture or appliances. Please include a photograph and any known fault.
