Free: Tape dispenser, semi-functional, plus full new reel of tape. (Harrogate HG1) Small-size tape dispenser for small reels of adhesive tape. Cutting edge no longer cuts the tape. Must be blunt after much use. Still very useful but you just have to use scissors. It's much easier to have the tape in the dispenser than it is to fiddle around trying to find the end of the tape and then cut the tape while holding the reel. I've been using it like this for quite a while now, but it is now surplus to my needs. Reel of tape in photo is included. Any takers?

Free: Cassette Music Tapes, Pre-recorded (Harrogate HG1) A large shoe box full of cassette tapes, almost all pre-recorded/commercially recorded music, plus the odd home recording (also music). Music of various genres - classical, opera, folk, French 'chansons' etc, American folk, traditional (e.g. Austrian, Russian, etc), instrumental, vocal, etc etc. N.B. I have listened to both sides of every single cassette over the last few months. All stretched/worn out cassettes have been binned. If the taker discovers poor quality recordings, then either the cassette has given up its ghost after my recent check, or my standards are lower than than the taker's!! They all sound either very good or good to me. I am still going through more cassettes which are not shown in the photo. These will be added to the collection being offered. Eventually, in not too long from now, hopefully, I will also be offering the cassette player with which I am testing all of these cassettes. Feel free to express an interest in that now.

Free: Single inflatable mattress (Harrogate HG1) Gifted Inflatable Mattress. Size: small single Width: 30" / 76cm. Synthetic velour on top side. Photo is of the mattress in its deflated state. I have not pumped it up myself for a while and can't actually remember how to do it. Please see photo of valve. I'm hoping that a potentially interested party will recognise the type of valve and know what kind of pump or connector is needed. You will have to provide your own pump. Does not come with a pump.

Free: Plastic 'storage/tidy/handy' basket (Harrogate HG1) Medium-sized plastic basket. 37.5cm long x 25cm wide (measured across widest parts) Cracked at one end. Does not affect performance! Photos show how cracked bit can be pressed into place and be barely noticeable. If used in a static position, will stay in place. Otherwise, only a small crack :) Surplus to requirements.

Free: Scrap Book For Upcycling (no.4) (Harrogate HG1) Scrap Book (old) (no.4) Dimensions: Height: 36.5cm Width: 24.5cm I started using this as a postcard album when I was growing up, but only filled 1/3 of the pages. The postcards have been removed, but there are still photo corners on 1/3 of the pages (these will come off) and also all the annotations for the postcards which used to be there. All intact. No loose pages. Could be used for an art project, I think, or maybe something else.

The central double page is loose. The cover has come away from the rest of the album. Could be used for an art project, I think, or maybe something else.

Free: Scrap Books for Re-Use / Upcycling (Harrogate HG1) Scrap Books on offer. These were used by me for my postcard collection as a child/young girl, hence all the annotations (which can have things stuck on top of them!) and photo corners (which can be peeled off). It would be a waste to put these into paper recycling (without the photo corners, of course), when I know they could be re-made into great scrapbooks of whatever kind. Here and there a double centre page has come loose, but of course could be re-attached/taped in - not rocket science ;) A couple of albums have come away from their cover. Ditto. Taker is welcome to choose whichever album or albums they prefer, including all of them if so desired. More photos available. Will send these to anyone who is interested to see more details of any particular scrap book.
