Laser Printer - that has a foible (Toton NG9)
On the other hand the printer may be perfect and the problem lay with the toner cartridge. Worked well for three years or so, then when I put a new toner cartridge in, it would print a couple of sheets, then say "empty". Taking the toner cartridge out, shaking it (as one does when the toner cartridge is getting empty) solved the problem for a few more sheets. This repeated itself. Another new toner cartridge was bought, but exhibited the same problem. These were "compatible" toner cartridges, as I found they gave better prints than authentic cartidges... well at least when the printer was new. Could it be the powder has "caked" and just needs a more vigorous shake? Could a toner cartridge from another supplier work A-OK? I don't want to do the hard work trying to sort it out! So if you are up for trying, it's yours - collection at a mutually convenient time. Samsung Xpress M2026: comes with mains lead, but not USB lead. Generally in good condition.

Bosch Battery Vacuum Cleaner for spares or repair (Toton NG9)
Gifted
Bosch VXAS010V18 - well used, battery holds good charge, but impeller (the fan than sucks the air in) has shattered into pieces and it's over £150 for buy a spare battery-fan assembly. No way. If you have this model and your battery is fading, this one can donate its battery without too much difficulty, if you have some DIY skills. Or if your charging stand is broken, or any other bit is dicky, this one can perhaps donate a (used!) replacement. The attached photo is NOT of our vacuum, it's just one to show what the vacuum looks like. Photo doesn't show charging stand nor charger, but we have them.

La Faenza floor tiles. Sort of terracotta (?) colour, see photo. Four sizes, quantities as shown. Unused, have been in shed for maybe 15 years (more, or less). Size Quantity 480 x 320 4 320 x 320 3 155 x 320 7 155 x 155 23 All sizes in mm, and may be out by a couple of millimeters. Quantities too might be out a little, as I kept losing count, but should be right. Good for use in a conservatory, but can't say about use anywhere else.

Brief Case - a Pilot's case (Toton NG9)
Gifted
Bought in 2009 (see invoice) and used for about 7 years till one handle strap broke. I intended to mend it, but retirement meant I didn't! If you are handy with a needle and thread, some 2mm leather from Ebay will fix it I am sure. Then give it a wipe all over and buff it all up with some black boot polish and it'll be be great again I think! Has a latched pocket on each end, dividers inside to left and right, plus pen/calculator straps on the inside of the top flap. Two combination locks too. See photos. Oh, and you don't need a pilot's licence to use it.

Desk, wooden, business style, vintage (Toton NG9)
Gifted
Real wood desk probably from the fifties or earlier, I can imagine this in an office with typist sitting at her typewriter bashing away. Several drawers, some with internal dividers. Foot rest bar. Top looks like linoleum. This vintage desk has evidently had a varied history, handicraft done on it as it has paint splashes. Checkout photos. Some TLC will bring it back to original condition I am sure, for use in a traditional decor setting.
