Stuff for sale / giveaway

[lnr]

I have a bunch of stuff we just don't need any more. Any offers (including nothing) for any of the following:

• bin with separate compartments for compostables and standard waste
• 14" telly with no remote, could possibly use a universal remote. Otherwise can't be tuned in, but has scart socket so good for DVDs, videos, freeview, games etc. And of course after next year the "terrestrial" signal won't work anyway, so it won't matter. (free)
• 14" telly with indoor aerial, has remote, but some buttons not working well. (free)
• universal remote control (unused) - with manual
• freeview box - with manual
• scart switch box and scart cable
• kef coda bookshelf speakers and c 6m speaker cable (£1.50 a metre new)
• separates cd player - LCD display no longer works, but plays fine - with manual, and a remote if I can find it
• Basic toaster. Slightly chipped and with a red mark on one side, but still works fine, replaced for aesthetic reasons only.
• stereo midi system cd/dual tape/record deck (radio believed broken) includes very cheap speakers (free)
• Basic kettle: not cordless, no fill level indicator, works fine, but needs occasional descaling (free)
• 13.5 tog double duvet - about a tenner, it's in good condition

Remaining items have now been places on ucam.adverts.forsale and ucam.adverts.giveaway

I'd be interested in the universal remote, as mine seems to have broken :(

[lnr]

I was thinking someone might want it with one of the tellys, but you'd be welcome to it in exchange for a couple of beer tokens or a bottle of plonk.

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

Ah good point, well if it's not claimed then I'll dig out some booze for it to swap for you :)

[lnr]

I'm afraid Peter has said yes.

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

Thanks anyway!

I'd be interested in the bin, to keep my kitchen tidy and free from mice; is a fiver reasonable?

[lnr]

Sounds fine by me. Let me know when you'd like to come and pick it up. It needs a bit of a clean.

[ptc24.livejournal.com]

I'd like the toaster (the cheapest new toasters are £6 in Argos so shall we say £3?). The first telly, the remote, the freeview box and the scart stuff sound interesting, but I'd have to talk to edith_the_hutt first.

[lnr]

You can have the toaster for free, I've had it since I was first a student in 1994 so I've more than had my money's worth for it. I'll just make sure I can find it first :-) - now found and fetched out of under stairs cupboard..

Let me know about the rest.

[ptc24.livejournal.com]

Oooh, thanks for that! I can have toast in the mornings again! Are you likely to be in at a bit past 6pm - in other words, is it worth me picking the toaster up on my way home?

[lnr]

I'm in, and it's handy, so feel free to pop by. I even have carrier bags :)

[ptc24.livejournal.com]

Yes please for the TV and gubbins. We'll wait until we have the flat to collect it, if that's OK.

[lnr]

OK so which of the following do you want and not want:

TV (the first one I presume)
universal remote
freeview box
scart cable
scart switch box

[ptc24.livejournal.com]

First TV, and all of the other items too. How much for the bits you want to charge us for?

[lnr]

25 quid for the lot?

[ptc24.livejournal.com]

Sounds good to me.

[lnr]

I shall put them all to one side with your name on.

[damerell.livejournal.com]

SCART switchbox, please. I will pay one (1) beer.

[lnr]

Pete gets first dibs since he was the one asking if anyone had any Stuff which prompted me to actually get rid of Stuff. But if he doesn't need it you're welcome to it. A beer or two sounds reasonable.

[damerell.livejournal.com]

I might pay two (2) beers if Mike is around. :-)

[lnr]

You could probably drag us both to the Blue, though I expect he'd prefer perry or cider.

[lnr]

Sorry, Peter wants it.

[hairyears.livejournal.com]

Any chance of grabbing the speakers?

[lnr]

If you can arrange to come and pick them up, yes. I was hoping for maybe 5-10 quid for them. Oh, and did you want the cables too?

[hairyears.livejournal.com]

I can manage a tenner with the cables thrown in. Picking them up is tricky as I have no immediate plans to come to Cambridge: I should look at my diary.

[lnr]

You can find out when I'm away by fingering me @chiark: the link in my profile works.

# separates cd player - LCD display no longer works, but plays fine

How many beers == 1 x mostly-working cd player? :-)

NB re actually-getting-stuff-from-A-to-B, sion_a might be passing through Oxfnord around Easter, and if not, we'll be in Cambridge next month for sion_a and 1ngi's wedding.

[lnr]

Like the toaster I think I've had more than my money's worth out of this one, so free if you like, I only spent a tenner on the much better replacement :)

We'll be away next weekend, but sion's welcome to pop round during the week if he's happy to be delivery boy. Otherwise would be lovely to see you next month (but you'll have to let me know the date, I only have a vague idea of when it is).

[dunkdunkdunk.livejournal.com]

> 14" telly with no remote,

I recognise that!

[lnr]

Indeed, and I should note that I won't accept any cash for that, since it was given free in the first place. Did us very well until we bought the big flatscreen monstrosity (with built-in freeview, hence selling the freeview box too).

[dunkdunkdunk.livejournal.com]

Heheh, up to you what you do with it - you did me a favour getting it out of my way :-) If you can sell it for a million pounds or even a tenner then knock yourself out!
