Free: canon pixma MG3250 (poss faulty) (Digbeth B5) Gifted - We have this printer available, but apparently it had a fault when last used and the group it belonged to abandoned it. Afraid I'm not able to check what the fault was as it was a couple of years ago - it could be really easily fixed as they didn't try, but equally could be unfixable. If you're good at printer troubleshooting you're even welcome to plug it into your laptop and try it out here before deciding whether to have it, although I don't know if it has working ink. Collection from city end of Digbeth, near Moor St station.

Free: Union 34 cycle rucksack/pannier, missing its hooks (Balsall Heath B13) Withdrawn - This is a rucksack that converts to a bike pannier. It has been used once and the eejit I lent it to lost the rack hooks that slide in and out of a slot. So unless you can find a replacement Union 34 fixing or try a fifteen quid Rixen Kaul rail pannier system (ie a thing that converts any bag to a pannier) it only works as a rucksack. Apart from that, perfect condition. It has lots of handy compartments and hooks. Collection from B13 near top of Ladypool Rd. Karen
