Request: Computer desk (Wombwell S73) Expired I'm looking for a computer desk for my sister. She has a "tower" pc and the usual junk that goes with it, and currently has it set up by balancing one thing on top of another. It would be a massive improvement if I can get her a functional desk to tidy it all up. Many thanks for reading

Request: Flat panel TV (Wombwell S73) Received A neighbour of mine, an elderly lady needs a replacement TV. Her current 32inch has gone purple and is barely viewable. I have tested it and the white lights along the edge of the screen are failing. She can't get out much and I am looking for a tv for her. It only needs one hdmi as she has a tv box underneath her existing tv. Anything over 32 inches would be fantastic as she struggles with anything smaller. (I have a 15 inch lcd tv and she couldn't see it very well). Her current tv is around 30 inches and she is comfortable with that. We are in the wombwell train station area and can collect to suit you.. Many thanks for reading.

Free: Stairgate (Pilgrims' Hatch CM15) Gifted A well used and fully functional stairgate with extension bits for those wider doors. Missing the "cups" that screw into the doorframe I have given it a quick once over and it appears to be usable. If for your kids, then it will need a thorough clean, but if it is to be used it for your pets... then "it'll do". Must go asap as we are clearing out

Free: Gandalf Costume (Pilgrims' Hatch CM15) Expired Basically, a staff and grey hat. (There was a robe, but I'm afraid it got mouldy and had to be thrown away). Would be great for that enthusiastic person about to do a fancy dress party.. just add a long bathrobe (grey, of course) and voila! Gandalf...

1y

Free: Double Mattress (Pilgrims' Hatch CM15) Gifted Used cream double mattress. It is quite soft with a integrated topper. It is soft around the edges and extremely comy. We've had it around 7 years and are moving soon and it is going to be surplus to our needs as we are downsizing. It is upstairs at the moment, but can be dragged to the bottom of the stairs. You will need to carry it out to your vehicle. I am unable to assist as I am partially disabled.

Free: Radeon 7990 xtx gaming gpu (Pilgrims' Hatch CM15) Expired This came in a pc I bought off gumtree. It is around 12 to 13 years old. When I powered the computer up, it worked beautifully and I ran it for about 2 hours. After a day or so I came back to the pc to prep it for new use, and to delete all the previous owners info and do a clean install to windows 10. Halfway through the process, it just stopped working. No video out on any of the connections on the card. The fans spin, the system sees the card, and boots. If it didn't see the card, it would stop and give a beep code indicating a gpu failure. It does not beep. (I added a second gpu and used that to connect to my monitor, hence I could see this gpu was being found and drivers were being installed.) As stated, I have tested this card in three separate computers with the same result. No video out. I have sniff tested it, and I cannot smell that cooked electric odour. Nor can a smell any ozone or traces of the magic blue smoke. It could be drivers. It may not. It may be a hardware issue and I just can't see any sign of damage. It just stopped working. If you think you can fix it... its yours for the shitzandgiggles...

Free: Hoover Washing Machine SE148 (Pilgrims' Hatch CM15) Expired Before you get your hopes up, this thing is for spares. It released the magic blue smoke, and now it doesn't do its magic anymore. So, it powers on. It clicks and clacks for a few seconds then does nothing. It has had a new drum about 6 months ago. It had a new motor just over a year ago. The computer main board was replaced about 3 months ago. The pump was replaced sometime in the last month... So pretty much everything inside this rusting metal box is almost brand new. It just don't run. It's possible to repair... and use it as is.. but would you risk it? So spares... if you need a new drum... here you go... your motor needs new brushes... here you go... your omputer is on the fritz... got a brand new one here. Obviously, you will have to come and get it... its just a waste to give this to the scrappie with so many almost new parts inside...

Free: Pull up bar (Pilgrims' Hatch CM15) Expired Black Metal Fits on top of the door frame and if you are short you can do pull ups to your hearts content. As I am over 6 foot tall, this is about as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike. Currently outside the front of my house on the driveway...

1y

Free: Superdisk 120 (Pilgrims' Hatch CM15) Expired I have 2 Apple ls120 superdisk drives and a few blank? Disks. Both were working when I tested them, to the point they would power on, Windows would mount them and load the disks. But c'mon, they are 15 years old, who uses floppies? They are currently on my front driveway just sitting there. Come and take them please.

1y

Free: Soil (Pilgrims' Hatch CM15) Expired We have a small mountain of soil that needs to go... its been here a while so has got a bit hard to dig. If you want some, please come and take it. Just bring your own boxes'n'bags. We can loan the tools to dig out, and heck, we may even help you take it away.. Needs to go soon, before the weather turns nasty...

Free: Used paving blocks. (Pilgrims' Hatch CM15) Expired We have lots and lots of cut and shaped paving blocks in mixed colours. All are ready to go now. Most are half or bigger and some are almost full sized. A small amount have been exposed to cement and have some residue of it. But not many. Must go soon

Free: Collapsible Laundry Basket (Pilgrims' Hatch CM15) Expired Grey and white It's seen better days and some of the rubber corners are splitting, but not gone completely. It will probably last years like this, or split tomorrow... hence I have replaced it...

Request: Corrugated plastic sheets (Pilgrims' Hatch CM15) Expired I am looking for some of that plastic sheeting to stop rain and such falling on my stuff at the back of my shed. As much as I can get, 😊

1y

Request: Exterior whitewash (Pilgrims' Hatch CM15) Expired I have a garden project, that has gone cosmetically wrong and my only option that I can see, is to paint it with an exterior paint. So, if someone has a large can of paint (grey or white, please), that i can put to good use, it would be gratefully received.

Free: Clean hardcore (Pilgrims' Hatch CM15) Expired Large diameter hard-core. Broken paviers, bricks/rubble, and large stones. Must go as soon as possible as we are expecting a visit from the housing officer to inspect our home, and we need to clear stuff that is no longer needed. Bring your own containers as those are needed by us for future works. Rubble bags... Or bring a trailer.... 😀 We are unable to deliver due to personal reasons. Thanks for looking... We also have some unseived/sorted hard-core at the bottom of the garden, if you need more... It needs de weeding and seiving to separate out the dust from the good stuff...

Free: Electric soil seive (Pilgrims' Hatch CM15) Expired This heavy beast, is a home made electric soil seive. It is mostly metal. So is quite heavy. It has bits from this and that ... The drum, is out of an old washing machine and is now, mostly wire mesh riveted to what's left of the drum. It has a very powerful electric 240v motor that supplies rotational power via 2 fan belts, which need replacing. The frame is tubular and welded into what can only be described as arches. Everything is either bolted or welded to the arches. This is not a gentle tool. It vibrates and rattles. And is not safe around pets or children. It has sharp edges. It has no safety features to speak of... it is brutal, and needs a lot of repairs to get the best out of it. I used it for over 2 years without a hiccup. I was supposed to return it to a dear friend, who recently passed away, and his family said they do not want it back... As I no longer need it, I am offering it, as is, to someone who has a garden project that will find a use for such a tool as this.. It would be a shame to scrap it for its metal value, but if that is what I have to do.. then so be it...

Free: Iron weights (Pilgrims' Hatch CM15) Gifted A bit rusty but originally black iron barbell weights. All you can see in that crate. Bring your own boxes or just put them in your car loose (not recommended, but it's your car). There is a bar for these somewhere, but probably buried in my attic. If i find it I will contact the taker of them to offer them first dibs on it. All to go together. No pick and choosing.

1y

Free: Stone Circle (Pilgrims' Hatch CM15) Gifted Brindle coloured stone circle. Missing the centre stone (It got dropped and shattered). Has many matching rounded square stones to go with it. Must be collected soon, or going to the dump. It was intended to go on or in, my patio, but for personal reasons, it was decided to not go with it.

1y

Free: Metal Monitor Stand (Pilgrims' Hatch CM15) Expired A black metal monitor stand for a BIG monitor. Made by VonHaus. I was using this with a 42inch TV with an adapter kit to fit the vesa 200/300 TV holes. (That bracket is not part of this offer). It is a heavy bit of kit, and is quite stable with larger monitors. It has signs of use, scuffs etc. And may benefit from replacing the rubber cushions as they are not looking good after many years of use. Especially if you are going to use it on an easily scratched surface. I paid well over 70 quid for this when new... and it will still give plenty of use before it breaks (if it ever does) So if you have a large format TV up to 42 inches which has a broken stand or mount and has vesa holes on the back, which nearly every TV does these days...and you have lost the legs... here you go...

Free: Hand held drill (Pilgrims' Hatch CM15) Expired I found this in the shed when I moved in... years and years ago. I chucked it in a box and forgot all about it... It has a bit missing that literally fell apart as I touched it. It looked like manganese jelly and crumbled as I handled the drill I have no use for it, and if you like collecting old tools, here we go...yours for the taking
