Free: Wooden tack locker outdoor cupboard (Bassingbourn, SG8) Does anyone want this wooden tack locker as it stands for free? Would need to be collected from a village just outside of Royston. (Herts/Cambs border). It’s not in perfect condition and would need some TLC although it’s pretty functional. Has 2 locks that I’ve got keys for. It’s mostly waterproof but I probably wouldn’t recommend keeping a 4k saddle in it outside, but would be fine in a barn or outside to store inexpensive items. It’s got wheels on the bottom as well. Alternatively you could use it as a non-horsey tool shed or something as well but you may want to remove the internal saddle rack in that case. It’s very large and heavy. Wouldn’t fit in a normal car i don’t think unless it was an estate with all the seats down. I cannot help to load it unfortunately. I would estimate it’s roughly 4ft x 3ft but I can get exact measurements for anyone who is seriously interested. No time wasters please. Thank you.

This equals 20 sachets as there’s 4 in each box. All of them are in date until 12th February 2026. Must be collected from Bassingbourn please. To go altogether.

Free: Laptop Asus X552C (Bassingbourn, SG8) Gifted Please read post in full to save any potential disappointment. FOR FREE: Laptop Asus X552C 4gb RAM/500 GB Hard drive, Nvidia GeForce 710M • Operating System: Windows 11 Condition: • Cosmetically good: no cracks, chips, or major scratches • Functionally slow: extremely slow startup and loading times despite specs - this may be fixable with an upgrade, but no guarantees • Smoke-free, pet-friendly home • Has been totally wiped except the operating system (no personal things on it) Included: • Laptop • Genuine ASUS charger Not Included: • Original box or manuals Please note: 1. The battery no longer holds a charge. The laptop only works while plugged in. 2. The charger connects and works, but the fit is loose. Any small movement can disconnect it, so it needs to stay still whilst in use. (I held it in place with duck tape). Giving away due to lack of use and underperformance. This machine might suit a tech-savvy person or someone who wants it for basic tasks, upgrades, or parts. Must be collected from Bassingbourn. No delivery available whatsoever.

Request: Carpet - can be offcuts & used (Bassingbourn, SG8) Received Hi everyone. I’m looking for either a large rug or carpet offcuts for use in an outbuilding. It doesn’t have to be perfect condition for a pristine show home. Imperfections aren’t an issue as long as they are disclosed. My only proviso is that it’s quite thick/stiff and more difficult to ruck up than a cheap rubber backed mat or runner. I’d prefer it if the colours were traditional or plain without any modern designs on like footballs or cartoons. I’m free to collect at most times that are mutually convenient, I’m quite flexible on days and times. Happy to collect from most places around North Herts. Thanks ever so much.
