Free: HP Photosmart 325 photo printer (Elmstead BR7) Despite dating from 2004 this should still be usable because it can print directly from camera memory cards without connecting it to a PC at all, and the toner is still available. If you did want to run it from a PC, it is only compatible with Windows 98, 2000 Professional, ME, XP Home, and XP Professional. It is capable of producing top-quality 6 x 4 colour prints. Its condition is as new, but I cannot promise it is working as I last used it on 3 May 2010, and I have not bought a new toner cartridge to test it with. However, it comes with all the original cables, manuals, the software CD, an unopened pack of photo paper to print on, and another pack in a sealed pouch, as shown in the photos. The toner box is empty, just kept to show what toner to buy. This is what AI says about it: The Hewlett Packard Photosmart 325 compact photo printer has everything that is needed from a portable high-quality inkjet photo printer. It is small, measuring 220 mm by 116 mm by 116 mm (8.7 inches by 4.6 inches by 4.6 inches). It is lightweight, with only 1.2 kg (2.6 lbs) of weight; it is fast and reliable, and it has autonomy as the internal battery in this Hewlett Packard Photo InkJet Printer allows to keep printing when there is no power supply available. The Hewlett Packard Photosmart 325 printer is direct printing-capable via the built-in USB port or in combination with PictBridge-enabled digital cameras, and it has four slots to connect different types of memory cards. However, it can increase its versatility to accept wireless printing via Bluetooth technology when the appropriate HP wireless printer adapter is used so it can print photos taken with a camera phone with Bluetooth connectivity. The LDC colour display allows users to preview their photos and select the ones that are going to come out of this Hewlett Packard Photo InkJet Printer. The control panel of this compact photo printer is user-friendly, with four buttons to control different tasks directly from the built-in panel. The design matches the high-quality features of this Hewlett Packard Photo InkJet Printer that supports fast printing on photo paper only.

Free: International collection of 2,332 stamps all pre 1973 (Elmstead BR7) Gifted They are all in slip-in albums and in excellent condion. They are particularly good on UK, Ceylon (Sri Lanka), Malawi, and Ethiopia, but many other countries also. There is also a box full of duplicate copies to swap with other collectors.

Free: Two chrome vacuum flasks (Elmstead BR7) Gifted Excellent condion. I would guess that one is at least 1 litre and the other 0.75 litres. They were both formerly used for serving coffee in the meeting rooms of a UK top 100 company, but are robust enough to take on a picnic. Both have plastic screw tops and spouts for easy pouring without opening up the flask entirely.

Free: Black leather attache case, expanding (Elmstead BR7) Gifted While well cared for with regular leather cream, and carefully treated, it is worn after 25 years of daily use. The photos show the wear on the edges and handle, that one fastener no longer springs up, and that five out of eight brass corners are missing. However, it still looks respectable if you don't look too closely, and is probably good for a few more years.

Free: Baby's high chair with safety harness (Elmstead BR7) Ideal for use at home. The chair is clean and in good condition except (a) the plastic seat cover has yellowed a bit, and (b) one of the ferrules is missing. The long legs can be removed and folded for ease of transport or storage. The tray is also removable. In both cases they are held on with wing bolts that can be tightened or loosened by hand without any tools.

Free: Garden pond fountain spray heads etc (Elmstead BR7) Gifted A collection of different fountain spray heads and associated pipework to connect them to the pond pump. These all came free with our Blagdon pond pump, but we had no use for them, so they are brand new and unused in their original box.

Free: Four seat white patio set (Elmstead BR7) Gifted Patio set in need of renovation. After about 40 years unused outdoors the set is sound but the paint is weathered. One chair leg is painted green in an unsuccessful experiment. In addition, the bolts holding the table together are only finger tightened for ease of dismantling for transportation, and will need persistent gentle persuasion with a spanner and oil to fasten firmly enough for use. The same is true of the green chair leg. However, sets like this are on offer for £3-400 online new, so it is worth the effort.

Free: Woven wooden fence panel 5 feet tall by 6 feet wide (Elmstead BR7) Gifted Never used as it was the wrong size. It has been kept outdoors but in a sheltered place beside the house for some years and still seems to be intact, as are the neighbouring fence panels that are at least 30 years old.

Free: Wooden plant pot stands with wheels (Elmstead BR7) Gifted 16 inch (40cm) across. For moving heavy plant pots on your patio or path.

Free: Scanner (Elmstead BR7) Gifted Canon Canoscan N650U bought 2001, in storage since 2004. Still works, but only if you are running on an old version of Windows like Windows 2000, can create it within a virtual machine, or are prepared to spend £67.45 on downloading Vuescan software. Comes with cable but no manual or installation CDs.
