Two used Acrilan 6 foot wide blankets, will split (Brookvale RG21)
Expired
1 Blue, Moderna brand, colour is deeper than in photograph, 1 Fawn, brand not visible but with washing instructions. They are clean and in good used condition, have been in storage for several years but smell fresh. Material has begun to roll a little bit but no holes or worn patches and have their original thickness. The blue one has 3 small light stains about half inch across. At 6 feet wide they will cover a standard double bed but not wide enough to tuck under the mattress. Better for single bed.

Pair of full size French Window curtains, almost new. (Brookvale RG21)
Gifted
These were purchased about 2017 from the linen shop in the town centre shortly before they closed, but never used until we rediscovered them 5 weeks ago just after we had ordered new curtains anyway! Excellent condition, lined, cotton poly. Height 7' 6" . They touch the floor because our curtain pole is a little low.

LED Illuminated bathroom mirror with demister shaving socket (Brookvale RG21)
Expired
Sensio “Sienna” Illuminated bathroom mirror 390mm x 500mm 240V Mains powered Charging socket Infra red sensor Demister Purchased last year from Victorian Plumbing but they have since discontinued it. Still on the Sensio website. Used for a few weeks but we replaced with another model. In perfect condition. Instructions included. As with all such mirrors with incorporated shaver socket, the isolating transformer makes a very slight hum. A demonstration of a similar product we have can be arranged. My wife says she can't hear it at all. Or you can just use the light and demister and disconnect the transformer.

Visioneer 4800 flatbed scanner (Brookvale RG21)
Expired
Purchased 2002, last used several years ago but still in working condition. Power supply included but no CDROM, software or drivers. At the time, the drivers were compatible for XP but nothing after, unfortunately Visioneer, although still in business, have disconx support for this model, however you might be able to find them elsewhere on line, or, someone has suggested this fix to get the 7800 driver to work in Windows. I believe the 7800 driver IS available. AmandaO'Brien1 visioneer 4800 usb scanner not working I managed after some time to get this old scanner working . first download visoneer 7400 scanner drivers which can be found online unlike the 4800 and install them. in search look for RUN and then click on it a small box will come up type devmgmt.msc and run goto the device manager where you can see the usb scanner click with a question mark by it ask to update the drivers manually click browse my computer for drivers then click let me pick scroll down to the scanner 7400 driver and install or update from there let it run and hey presto Scanner comes to life on windows 8.1 or any windows after xp. I hope this helps save someone a lifetime that it took me to figure out ..

Wickes cordless impact screwdriver and battery, no charger (Brookvale RG21)
Gifted
Model CID180KL2 + battery Battery model KD711-B180LI Wickes no 150495 Slip chuck. Purchased in 2019, the model has since been superseded. I didn't open the box until earlier this year and found that the charger was missing and it was too late to return for refund. The battery is charged and I can demonstrate the driver works well. I can't source the original replacement but have found a couple of units that might work if you are willing to take the risk, or this might be useful for spares. The battery alone is selling on ebay for £9:00. Possible substitute charger:
