Free: Helly Hanson Duffel bag / Rucksack, 45L?, somewhat tatty (Hollingbury BN1) Expired 75d - This is a somewhat tatty but high quality duffel bag cum rucksack from Helly Hanson. There are hidden chest straps to turn it into a rucksack. It is made from a high quality strong and waterproof reinforced material. The original spec. says 50Litre capacity, but I think that is a stretch. more like 45 or so I'd guess. Some of the material has worn a bit, and the condition of the bag is a bit worse than in the photos - there is some mould on the trim etc. - but this is a high quality bag and it would be a shame to throw it. I think a spray with bleach and a wash in a tumble dryer would make it perfectly serviceable for some uses. Collection by arrangement from Hollingbury area

I think there were originally 500 sheets; there are probably 400 or more left. Collection by arrangement from the Hollingbury area. Please give me an idea of your intended use.

Request: 'Shopping List' child's game, from Orchard Toys (Hollingbury BN1) Expired 155d - We moved on our copy of this classic game for young children a few years ago ... but now another grandchild is at a good age to have fun with it.

Free: 2x 2.5L PVA glue, for craft work or slime making (Hollingbury BN1) Gifted 158d - I have two 2.5L large containers of white PVA glue - ASDA brand. Originally bought for the kids to make slime with, but we are a bit old for that now... One is unopened, the other has been used a little. They are a few years old now but should still be fine for use. Collection from Hollingbury area by prior appointmenr Free: Contractors PVA, half-used 5L container (Hollingbury BN1) Expired 158d - Similar to stock photo - contractor PVA for priming, bonding, or a plaster admixture etc. No good for children to make slime with - that's a different PVA! Less than half-used I think, I will check. Has been in the garage for a few years, but should still be OK for non-critical applications Collection by prior arrangement from Hollingbury area.

Free: Child's Theatre, for puppets etc. Needs some TLC (Hollingbury BN1) Gifted 328d - This is a small and old-ish foldable Theatre for putting on puppet shows or similar for small children. It has a front with curtains, foldable sides and a rear painted screen. About 4ft in height. It has been stored in an outhouse for some years and does require a bit of TLC. I have tried to show this on the photos. Mainly, there is a bit of snail damage to some of the front and rear paintwork. One of the wooden struts probably needs a bit of cleaning up as well. With a bit of craft and imagination it could easily be restored to something to give joy to small children. Collection by prior arrangement from the Hollingbury area. Please give some indication of intended use in case I have to choose between interested people.

I bought these from Lidl or Aldi some years ago. They have been unused since; this might be a good thing or a bad thing. I am not currently in a position to recharge or test these. They might be of use to someone with a decent charger and some specialised use - maybe a maglite or similar Note that it is possible that none of these batteries work; alternatively they might be great. If you are familiar with Nicads you will understand... 8 off D size - 4000mAh or 4500mAh 8 off C size - 4000mAh Collection from Hollingbury area by prior arrangement

Free: Vintage carbon steel wok (Hollingbury BN1) Gifted 1y - I have had this wok for about 35 years! It is still going strong but I have decided to move it on. It is a 'proper' carbon steel, round bottomed wok, of commercial quality. Woks like this have to be kept seasoned, and this one has been, as you can see from the lovely black patina, which acts like a non-stick coating. This is easy to maintain - don't put it in the dishwasher or use detergent, wash with water and a scrubbing pad, then re-season by heating up with a little oil and wipe round with a bit of kitchen roll. With a little care like this it should last almost for ever. 12inches in diameter, with wooden handle. You will need a wok stand or a proper burner. Collection from Hollingbury by prior arrangement Free: Sheets of prismatic perspex for construction, light diffuser (Hollingbury BN1) Gifted 1y - Two sheets of prismatic perspex (or polycarbonate, not sure) with a prismatic pattern, giving a light diffusion effect. Sheets are approx 60cm x 120cm, thickness nominal 3mm I think. Collection from Hollingbury area by prior appointment.

Request: long handled sledge hammer sought (Hollingbury BN1) Expired 1y - Hi - I'm after a sledge hammer of weight 7lbs to 10lbs, ie. quite light. Condition is not very important - I want it for fitness, not for actual hammering! But it needs to have a longer handle, ie. not a 'club' hammer or similar. I can collect from anywhere reasonably local to Brighton / Hove. Thanks, J^n Request: Floppy Disk Drive + cable (Hollingbury BN1) Expired 1y - Hi all - I'm after an 'old school' 1.44" Floppy Disk Drive, with 40-way IDE cable, for a small project I am working on. Anyone have one in a drawer, or dismantling an old PC, and have one of these going spare? Thanks a lot, Jon N
