187d
- These are the towers that grab onto the side rails on top yer car. I don’t know exactly how they work, only 3 of 4 locky bits, no key, no rails. No wonder I’m giving them away! But good for parts or whatever.

kitchen lower drawer units (Shepherd Park,DC)
Expired
308d
- Looking for counter base drawer units for use in a garage workshop. Don’t have to be pretty, don’t have to match anything, don’t have to have counter attached (better if they don’t, but either way works). Drawers are ideal, but doors or open shelves are ok too.

Non-working Bonavita kettle (Shepherd Park,DC)
Gifted
1y
- Let’s be clear, something is not right with this thing. It worked well everyday for many years, but now the temp reading jumps around and it clicks off before reaching target temp. I’ve tried some DIY fixes I found on the interweb, but no good. It’s yours for parts, or to fix, or whatever. Porch pick-up, please reply with your preferred retrieval date and time.

Gifted

Polar M400 gps heart rate watch (Shepard Park, DC)
Gifted
1y
- Polar M400 running watch, with chest strap heart rate sensor. Good condition, original box. Charges with micro usb cable (included). The cover for the USB port tore off, but it hasn’t suffered for it. Several years old, but a good set of running features, programmable zones and workouts and all that. Here’s an extensive review: I used it regularly for a year or two, but I just didn’t like the styling, so got something else and it’s been sitting around. Charged it up and used it to make sure it still works… all good.
