Free: Inflatable beach dinghy with oars (Moseley, Birmingham, B13) Fits a smallish adult or 2-3 children. Has been repaired once (see photo), after which it held well and got a lot more use. Inflated and left overnight to test it and it seems to be holding its air fine but I make no guarantees, especially as it's years old. Comes with a pair of oars (wood and sturdy-feeling plastic, made in England). They have been drawn on with a permanent marker (see photo) but it will wipe off easily with hand gel.

Free: Large inflatable beach dinghy (Moseley, Birmingham, B13) Thicker rubber than some other beach boats are made from and pretty big. Will fit an adult unless very tall, and probably 3-4 children depending on age/size. Inflated and left overnight to test it and it does have a slow puncture somewhere. Nothing a puncture repair kit can't solve, I'd imagine. Please note it is many years old and I make no guarantees about it.

Free: Aftershave splash (Moseley, Birmingham, B13) Ariana & Evans Cathedral Ultima Aftershave Splash Bought in September this year. Tipped a few drops onto my hand to test it but the fragrance is really not my cup of tea.

Free: Bionaire air purifier (Moseley, Birmingham, B13) Gifted Bought in 2016. Barely used. Designed to be run horizontal or vertical. With ioniser (can be turned on or off). The shop claimed it has a lifetime HEPA filter that doesn't need to be replaced, but I'm not convinced. It's replaceable if you want to replace it.

Free: Cut glass bowl (Moseley, Birmingham, B13) Gifted No manufacturer's mark on it, only the word "foreign". Approximate external measurements: 22cm diameter, 9.5cm height.

Free: SilverCrest bread maker (Moseley, Birmingham, B13) Gifted I was given this by a Freecycler years ago and used it once. I assume it's working but it's been sitting around for years and I can't guarantee anything. Includes a few parts not shown in the photos (measuring cup, measuring scoop, kneading paddles, and dough hook). I've given it a clean. I never had a paper manual but you can find it online.

Free: HP Photosmart Plus printer scanner (Moseley, Birmingham, B13) Gifted Semi-functional. This works but the ink has dried through lack of use. When this happened before, I took the nozzle out (fairly easy to do) and washed it through and cleaned it out, dried it thoroughly, and it worked again, so you should be able to do this again. The scanner works but has some dust on the inside of the glass. You might be able to open it up to clean it, or it could be useful for scanning documents rather than photos. It also has a problem where a narrow strip down one side doesn't scan properly (I don't know why). It has a touchscreen and memory card slots, which allow some use without a computer, including printing preset sheets such as music manuscript paper. Includes the two ink cartridges pictured but they've been sitting around for a while and I can't guarantee they're still usable. Also included are the power cable, USB lead (although the printer also works on WiFi) a software CD (although I think it works without that), and the instruction manual. Thanks for looking.

Free: "Father & child" lamp (faulty) (Moseley, Birmingham, B13) Gifted Uplighter and anglable reading light, both dimmable. Originally from Argos several years ago. Works but keeps blowing bulbs too often so could do with being repaired (happens when switching it on but not every time it's switched on - can work for weeks and then blow again). Might be a simple repair but dealing with chronic fatigue, I don't have the energy to deal with it myself so hopefully someone else can get use out of it.

Free: Shoe rack (Moseley, Birmingham, B13) Gifted 75 x 28 x 28cm. Originally from Argos. It's sagged a bit from using it for a bit too much weight (see photo).

Free: USB extension (Moseley, Birmingham, B13) Expired About 20cm. Old version so will be quite a slow transfer speed.

Free: 24" Raleigh inner tube (Moseley, Birmingham, B13) Expired I don't believe this has ever been used. It was bought probably about ten to fifteen years ago and has been kept indoors (not garage/shed/outhouse). I think the rubber looks and feels fine but check it over before you use it because of its age. Schrader valve. The box is squashed.
