IKEA Hemnes bookshelf (BT15)
Gifted
We've had this a few years, but no-longer suits the space. It has a few very minor bumps and scrapes. It's still assembled, but can be taken apart for collection. RRP £199 from Ikea's description: black-brown colour Solid wood has a natural feel. The shelves are adjustable so you can customise your storage as needed. 1 fixed shelf for high stability. You can hide multiple sockets under the removable bottom shelf, for instance. Adjustable feet; stands steady also on an uneven floor.

Lengths of roofing felt (BT15)
Promised
These are bits of good-quality felt that came off my shed (due to my shoddy installation) in the storms. It’s good thick stuff: 2-3mm, much better than what I ended up (re)covering the roof with. They’ve nail-holes and the shorter piece has a tear along it, so would need to be used in conjunction with some felt-adhesive. Suitable for a smaller shed, shed-let or pet-housing. More ideal would be adding as a robust layer over an existing lower-quality felt. These are both 1m wide. Other smaller patches are available too.

Expired

Apollo folding bike (BT15)
Gifted
same model as this one on Gumtree: -bit of a monkey-paw this one. The good: small; I guess about the size of a Brompton - can be brought onto trains, buses & coaches when other bikes would be restricted. Can be thrown into the car easily & save on taxi-fare if leaving the car at the garage. mudguards, chainguard, rear-carrier mechanically in adequate order. Tyres & brakes are good "ding" bell stand folding-pedals working brakes The not-so-great: heavy (~15kg I think) lots of cosmetic surface rust single speed; tops out at ~15mph with high 'cadence' pedalling, so not great for road use Chain's rusty; probably should be replaced, or at the very least oiled (I've not oiled it just now as it would make replacing it more messy) front brake rubs a little - probably needs some v minor fettling A good many years old.

Metal cabinet (BT15)
Gifted

Kitchen worktop (BT15)
Gifted
Laminated-chipboard kitchen counter worktop. Darker butcher-block style print, surplus to requirements. Good length, but too big for me to use & a waste to cut-down. 2.3m long (clean, but exposed cuts at both ends) 60cm deep (as standard) ‘square’ back, curved front-edge. Underside’s plain as per pic (this is normal). ‘Eggs’ pic is to show colour & scale of pattern - this of installed wider section. Heavy: two-person lift. I can help.

Kew power washer body (BT15)
Expired
Kew hobby 80-1 power washer body* *This is the main gubbins of the unit & was working fine when last used ~15yrs ago. The lance comes with it, but is not up to scratch. The hose/lance is a problem: the lance handle (“A”) was disassembled to replace the broken plastic coupler “B”. The parts for “A” have been misplaced & /may/ turn up, and even then may not be complete. The whole repair project stalled 15yrs ago as two parts (aluminium + brass?) had seized together. The plastic coupler part should readily be available on eBay. I bought one 15yrs ago, but have since lost it. The original broken part is still in place.
