Bird nesting box (West Moors BH22)
Expired
119d
- Used for three nesting seasons. Mixed results ... one successful, one attempt at raising but abandoned (lack of food) and one no result. We're not trying again as the only place we have to use is too 'open' (no cover for protection of parents monitoring box) and too 'busy' with larger birds and human activity close-by. As can be seen, box can be easily accessed for cleaning. The diameter of hole is designed for blue tits or coal tits - we had blue tits on any attempt.

Microwave oven ... active but old! (West Moors BH22)
Gifted
160d
- (Please note the age of this appliance ...) Microwave oven ... clean ... working ... but, NOTE CAREFULLY, bought new in 1998! Clean, simple and hardly used despite its long life. In the early years, we used it perhaps a dozen times a year, but for the past 16 years, it's only been used at most three times a year - therefore time to free up space in our small kitchen. Might be suitable for a hobby-shed, workshop, backup in a clubhouse or similar.

- .. as you can probably see from photograph, this item has had a long life! Must be over 20 years old but still going strong; only reason we are getting rid is my wife needs a version with bigger figures to read. These are Salter mechanical bathroom scales ... range up to 19 stone/120 kg. When checked against our new unit, the scales are within a lb or so of the latter. [Originally offered Wimborne group ... no takers]

Mountain Bike ... used (West Moors BH22)
Gifted
1y
- ... [Please read carefully before taking this on] ... I found this MTB abandoned at the side of a local path. Took some time via local media to try and find owner (in case it was stolen) but after 6 weeks no response. I therefore decided to remove from grass to avoid it becoming yet another bit of local litter - it appears to be some 6 years old, well-used (some plastic cracked etc.), and slight rusting on exposed brightwork. I have replaced the tyres, tubes & wheel tapes and given it a superficial clean. It is 'ride-able' and the basic mechanics appear OK. However, Derailleur stuff is totally beyond me ... there is obviously some adjustment needed and one of the gear outer cable covers could do with replacing. But I'm not qualified to take it further and I have no use for the bike. Contact me if you want any other information. If not used as a complete bike, perhaps for parts?
