“Artistic” printer (AL2 / SG6)
Suitable for a kids art project? This printer just about works but it prints with odd stripes as you can see from my photocopies of a scarf and my phone. The black and white copy doesn’t seem to work, only colour. It was given to us for free but none of the inks worked so we refilled them with some ink we got from Amazon. So it could be that you just need proper cartridges in it. I don’t know. Is it of any use?

Printer (AL2 / SG6)

Grandparents passed away so having a clear out. This did work a few years ago, but it ran out of yellow ink and never got refreshed. Model number is available in the photos, maybe you can find cheap ink on Amazon for it?

Request:
Kitchen electrics (AL2 / SG6)
Does anyone have any hot plates, kettles, microwaves, old toaster ovens etc etc (even cutlery!) that they don’t want anymore? I’m making my old garden shed a little more liveable (little office?) and would love to add some appliances to cook in there! Anything unloved that may be beneficial for a “make do” kitchen :)

Fibreoptic flowers (AL2 / SG6)
Gifted
Just like those Christmas trees - changes colour in a sequence. Put it on a timer and make your windowsill look beautiful at night. Just the white flowers light up (plus the base), the rest of the flowers are detached and stuff into the base to make it look good during the day - arrange them how you like. Be CAREFUL they are actually quite sharp! Idk why they put fake thorns on them but the edges are a little sharp when you’re putting them in. Priority to whoever can collect soonest, I’m in always, just let me know the time.

Very old torch (AL2 / SG6)

Comes with fittings to mount it on the wall, but also would stand on its own as it has a flat bottom. Could be used as a normal shelf if you put little shelves in it?

Collection of tins and tubs (AL2 / SG6)
Of any interest? They won’t go into the skip or anything but just before I put them in the attic to be forgotten about I wondered if someone wanted to love them. Are you interested in one or all?

Old tv (AL2 / SG6)
Gifted
Any interest? Appears to be working - you can get VGA / HDMI to Ariel converters and you could use it as a computer monitor! My guess would be that it’s colour given it has the RGB stripe logo on the front.

Old turbo power vacuum (AL2 / SG6)
So, we plugged this into the wall and it powered up for 1 second and then turned off again. We checked the bag and it was completely full (as seen), so we tried taking the bag out, but now it won’t turn on again. I’ve checked the fuse, but it’s fine. Anyone want a vintage hoover repair project?

Salty orange electrolyte drink (AL2)
Gifted
23 sachets of orange + coconut flavoured workout drink. It’s powder that you add water to, in little sachets. It basically tastes like salty orange squash when you add water. I’m not a fan but maybe someone else will be? There’s one sachet that’s open in there from when I tried it. I just opened it and poured some out - let me know if you want me to include that one or to leave it out and I’ll finish it myself. Available in AL2, but can also be made available in SG6.

Large red parasol (AL2 park street)
Gifted
Made of wood, opens and closes very smoothly, I would guess it was quite an expensive one. However the pole seems to be quite short? Maybe you need to put the holder base on the table, or buy an extension for it Currently in AL2, but can be collected from SG6 too

Some “vintage” golf stuff, comes with about 20 golf balls, some numbered plates, roughly 10 clubs all different shapes, a hammer, and some paddles.
