Free: Self-balancing 2 wheel scooter/hoverboard (broken) (Chesham HP5) Promised If it worked, you could stand on this unlikely looking sideways scooter (like in the third picture) and steer it around by shifting your weight about. But the battery has died and would need to be replaced. Also missing the charger, so you'd need a charger for 36V scooters with the appropriate plug. Or it may be of interest to an electronics enthusiast for parts or repair. Let me know if you'd like it. Steve

Request: Bluetooth selfie stick (even if broken!) (Chesham HP5) Expired Does anyone have an old bluetooth selfie stick they don't want? Doesn't matter if the stick itself is broken - the part I'm after is the bluetooth circuitry and button (and I may be able to fix that, even if that is also not working). Many thanks, Steve

Request: Cat tree (Chesham HP5) Received We're just about to be fostering two large cats, seen here trying to stop their owner from leaving! They're house cats, so used to living indoors, but they really need things to climb on and (most importantly) scratch. I'd rather that wasn't my furniture or walls! Does anyone have any (large) cat trees or climbing frames that they no longer need? Many thanks, Steve

Free: Computer heat sink - or art project? (Chesham HP5) Expired Does anyone want this? It is actually a giant heat sink for a computer CPU, so you could use it for that.
