Free: "Memory foam" mattress pad (Hintonburg) Expired 1y - Better suited for furniture padding or a pet bed or something, since it's at least a decade old and well used. Queen size.

Free: Ikea double-wide desk (Hintonburg) Gifted 1y - Just in time for back to school, I'm giving away a brown-black MICKE double-wide desk. 142cm wide x 75 cm tall x 50 cm deep. Very good condition. I can help you load it into your vehicle, but you will need someone on the other end to help unload it. I can partially dismantle it for you if you think that will make things easier.

Free: Classic Commodore computers (READ) (Hintonburg) Gifted 1y - Are you a collector and/or tinkerer of classic 8-bit computer hardware? This lot was poorly stored and doesn't work, but could conceivably be repaired or used for parts. Commodore 64: Powers on to black screen. When powered on, it triggers a disk drive spin like it's supposed to, so I don't think it's completely dead. Commodore VIC-20: Powers on to video garbage. Cartridge programs seem to work fine but also with graphical garbage. Commodore Datasette: Exhibited strange behaviour toward the end of its use, but it may actually be fine and the behaviour may have been from a dying power supply. Can't re-test it now. Commodore 1541 disk drive: worked fine last I checked. Commodore 1571 disk drive: worked fine last I checked, but only ever acted as a 1541 (I never got double-sided mode to work). Two Waco "The Boss" joysticks (not pictured): worked fine last I checked. They're just leaf switches in a heavy plastic housing so probably still fine. Cartridges for the VIC-20, books about programming both systems, two power bricks (at LEAST one of them seems bad), various serial and video cables. Even includes a custom-made cable for attaching a Commodore serial device to a parallel printer port (but who has one of those nowadays?). Everything is packed in a single 1.5 cubic-foot moving box. It is HEAVY. Strongly recommend a car with a trunk, or a bike with a trailer.

Free: Rain pants (Hintonburg) Gifted 1y - Size men's large. Freshly re-waterproofed (albeit with a very old bottle of proofer). Decent condition, some wear on insides of cuffs.

Free: Classic Scalextric slot car set (Hintonburg) Gifted 1y - Very old set of Scalextric slot car tracks, transformer, 3 cars, and a few throttles. The electric motors in the cars no longer work, but the transformer and throttles do work. Track was not stored well but still seems passable. Comes in 2 medium boxes; recommend a car trunk, or bicycle trailer.

Free: Classic HO train set (Hintonburg) Gifted 1y - Everything pictured is on offer -- preferably to the same taker. Set is from the very early 1980s. The transformer has been tested and still works, but the electric motor in the locomotive has weakened over time and no longer works.

Free: Wall-mount bicycle hook (Hintonburg) Gifted 1y - Wall-mount holder for bicycle, and matching wall-mount protector for the other wheel of your bicycle.

Free: Winter coat with faux-fur-trim hood (Hintonburg) Gifted 1y - Men's size large. A grommet has been added to some of the inside pockets to allow clipping/securing items if needed. Has been washed, but is in a home with a cat.

Free: Vintage Lite-Brite toy (Hintonburg) Gifted 1y - Still works! Very yellowed with age. Comes with a tub of pegs, a few sheets with designs to try, and many sheets that are blank for letting you or your children's creativity shine. (Pun intended.)

Free: Cordless electric toothbrush+heads (Hintonburg) Gifted 1y - Oral-B electric toothbrush and charger have been thoroughly cleaned and sanitized. 7 brand new brush heads.

Free: Fitbit Charge 3 Wristbands+charger (Hintonburg) Gifted 1y - Three wristbands and one USB charge cable for Fitbit Charge 3. Leftmost pictured is never used; middle is the standard band that comes with a Charge 3; rightmost is metal+magnetic, shows some wear. All have been cleaned.

Free: Working electric kitchen appliances (Hintonburg) Expired 1y - Blender has a piece off its base but still works fine. Bullet blender and accessories shown. Can opener. Spice chopper. Take one, some, or all.

Free: Various working electronics (Hintonburg) Expired 1y - All worked fine when I last checked, it's just older stuff. See something you like?

Free: Drip coffee maker (Hintonburg) Gifted 1y - Works fine, except the digital clock display is glitchy/unreadable. 10 cup capacity, takes cone filters (adding a few leftovers to get you going).

Free: Pressure cooker and cookbook (Hintonburg) Gifted 1y - Only used a few times, several years ago. Don't know the material, suspect it's aluminum.

Free: Classic fondue set (Hintonburg) Gifted 1y - Bring back to life a one-time staple of social get togethers. 6 skewers, pot, lid, and frame. Adding some tea lights so all you need to add is food and friends.

Free: Old Mac Mini (Hintonburg) Gifted 1y - 2.0 model. Worked fine last I checked. I've upgraded the RAM to I think 4GB. Freshly reinstalled OS. Has ReFIT boot loader (if you don't know what that is, it won't change anything).

Free: BluRay player/home theatre in a box (Hintonburg) Gifted 1y - Older Samsung model, still works fine. Up to 1080p output. 5.1 surround, all speakers and cables included.

Free: 28" LCD Monitor/TV (Hintonburg) Gifted 1y - Older but still works fine. Great for an older video game console, VCR/DVD, or retro computer. 1920x1200 max resolution (also handles 1080p). Has inputs for HDMI, DVI (via included cable), component, composite, VGA, and S-Video, as well as a separate audio input to drive the built-in speakers (N.B. does not support audio over HDMI).
