Free: Cut-glass and brass chandelier 10-inch diameter (Hove Park area BN3) Gifted Not sure of heritage but looks like cut glass and solid brass small chandelier, ideal for a low ceiling. 10" (255mm) diameter, drop from ceiling to base of finial 10" (255mm). Takes a standard SBC light bulb. Electrically untested. Some of the glass elements were loose as when boxed they tend to fall off; reassembled to check no glass elements missing, but need to be reassembled properly so faces of crystals line up.

Free: Pair of Devolo dLAN 200 AV Wireless adaptors (Hove Park area BN3) Expired The Devolo dLAN 200 AV Wireless is a network adaptor that enables users to easily extend their home network without the need for additional wiring. Through its powerline technology, this device utilizes existing (13A) electrical wiring in a user's home to create a reliable and secure network connection. Quite old but I've just tested this and it works, but you need 2 Ethernet cables RJ45 to go between these adaptors and your devices, such as router at one end and a PC/laptop at the other end (which needs an RJ45 socket or you can get an adaptor for USB). Best to plug them in to a 13A mains socket on the wall, not an extension lead. Very large separations between the devices, say over 50m, and they might not work. Both need to be on same household supply . Download software: which measures speed but not used for operation.

Request: Small offcut of artificial grass (~ 1 m square) (Hove Park area BN3) Expired Small offcut of artificial grass about one metre square. I did respond to another Brighton Freegler recently who was offering this, but my response has not been picked up. I suspect it has gone to Spam which often happens if you (like me) use Yahoo mail. I was the only person who responded.
