Free: Pine shelf with brackets, 58.5 x 19 cm (Woosehill RG41) Gifted Good condition but unfinished (i.e. not painted or varnished). Some wall paint on the brackets. Will need 4 screws for fixing brackets to the wall, and some thin nails for pinning the shelf onto the brackets.

Free: Wall tile adhesive and grout, Evo-Stik "White for life" (Woosehill RG41) Gifted Unopened. Purchased in August 2024 but not used as I ended up using ready-made panels instead of tiles. It's the 2.7 sq metre size.

24d

Free: Neff T25T2N0GB 4-burner gas hob (Woosehill RG41) Gifted Excellent condition and still working except for one feature. There's a timer which is supposed to be able to switch off the burners. This still works on the left-hand two burners, but not on the other two. Apart from that, all burners work correctly.

25d

Free: Firewire card for PC, with 2 cables (Woosehill RG41) Gifted Sorry I don't have exact make/model. I got this for playing a video recorder into a Linux PC. I no longer need it.

43d

Free: Wireless-G PCI adapter, Linksys WMP5.4G 4.1 (Woosehill RG41) Gifted Not recently used, but still working as far as I'm aware. Includes antenna.

43d

Free: Drawing pins (Woosehill RG41) Withdrawn As you can see, a nearly full box of white pins (originally 200), and a bag of brass ones.

43d

Free: Wooden stepladder (Woosehill RG41) Gifted Very old, somewhat knocked about, but sound. Artistically decorated with random paint splashes.

62d

Free: Two fold-up picnic chairs; 3-leg and 4-leg (Woosehill RG41) Gifted Excellent condition. I have more of these than I need, hence giving these two away. The 4-leg one is M&S branded.

65d

Free: Neff C1AMG84N0B/04 built-in combi microwave oven (Woosehill RG41) Withdrawn Since I got this two and a half years ago, while it has worked perfectly well, it repeatedly trips the circuit breaker that it's on. This is very intermittent; on average perhaps once every week or two. Our maintenance company have sent engineers many times, and they have (speculatively) changed many components, but haven't been able to find any actual fault. Aside from that, it's in excellent condition. When the circuit breaker trips, I just reset it and switch the machine on again.

77d

Free: HP Photosmart C4480 printer/scanner (Woosehill RG41) Expired Includes USB cable and unused black cartridge. I haven't tested it as I don't want to start a new cartridge unless it's going to be used, but I have no reason to suppose that it doesn't work.

160d

Free: Humax FVP-5000T Freeview HD recorder - NOT WORKING (Woosehill RG41) Gifted This is in fine condition apart from the fact that it suddenly stopped powering on. If someone would like to have a go at fixing it, I can let you know what I've tried so far (including how to open the case).

160d

Free: Titan 18v cordless combi drill, TT1699COM (Woosehill RG41) Gifted Complete with case, manual, charger and 2 batteries. It's 8 years old and has served me very well as a DIYer. It's still working, but does produce a slight burning smell, especially when used heavily. I suspect it's going to burn out, but might last a good while if used lightly. Both batteries are in good condition, holding charge well. I've bought a replacement, so I'm happy for someone else to use this one until it gives out. Or maybe you have one and would like some spare batteries. (Unfortunately, Screwfix don't sell the drill body, or I would have bought one of those rather than a whole new kit.)

170d

Free: "Spur" shelf racking system, brown (mostly) (Woosehill RG41) Gifted 3 x 122cm uprights. 10 x 17cm shelf brackets. Used, so there's some paint on them, but very sound. For some reason, one of the brackets is white - probably left over from another set.

175d

Free: "Antler" compartmentalised suitcase, damaged (Woosehill RG41) Expired The main body of the case seems to be absolutely fine; clean and undamaged. But the straps have perished. Some of the straps are OK, but some of them can be easily torn by hand; e.g. the carrying handle pulled apart when I last used the case. The fourth photo shows where one of the straps has parted. It may be possible to replace the straps, but otherwise the case could be useful for storage rather than travel.

Free: Halfords car touch-up kits, Vauxhall Star Silver metallic (Woosehill RG41) Expired Quite old, but unused. Still liquid.

180d

Free: Audio/video capture device (for Windows) (Woosehill RG41) Gifted I bought this via Amazon as it explicitly stated that Linux was supported, but a later query to the supplier revealed that it is Windows only, so no use to me. (Supplier gave me a refund, but didn't want it returned.) It shows up as a USB device, so I have no reason to suppose that it doesn't work, but obviously I can't tell whether it is actually fully functional.

184d

Free: Dell 1907FPc computer monitor (Woosehill RG41) Expired Good condition, fully working, height-adjustable, VGA and DVI inputs. Includes power cable but not video cable(s).

205d

Free: 32" tv: lg 32lb580v (Woosehill RG41) Gifted Excellent condition and fully working except that BBC iPlayer no longer works on it. (That's not a fault on the TV; it's a result of iPlayer's "upgrade" last year.) /

Free: Humax HDR-2000T Freeview HD TV Recorder (Woosehill RG41) Gifted Excellent condition and working order, but it's rather old. The BBC have changed iPlayer and dropped support for some old TVs and PVRs, including this one, which has prompted its replacement. Other streaming apps may or may not work; I haven't tested them. Freeview is fine for both live TV and recording. I've updated the software to Humax's latest which is 1.01.20 (8 Jan 2018).

1y

Free: Phox reusable water filter cartridge and refills (Woosehill RG41) Gifted I liked the idea of a refillable cartridge, but found that it didn't filter quite as well as Brita. Here's a free way for you to try it for yourself! Your experience may differ from mine. The refill pack is part used. See / for info.

Free: Chubb security door chain (Woosehill RG41) Expired Brass-plated steel; used, so a little scratched.

1y

Free: Boots vaporiser (Woosehill RG41) Gifted A bit dusty, but working. There are 4 pads in the box, but they're several years old so may not be any good (no expiry date on them).
