One fancy Kelty Kids offspring carrying device. Comes with the hood thingy and was slightly dusty from sitting in a garage for years. Now all cleaned up and ready for use.
A nice Babytrend Sit-n-stand stroller. Picked up by a friend but showcased here. Needs a clean but he should do fine on that.
Random purple Specialized Hotrock kids bikes. Needed air in the tyres and good to go. Came with helmet.
Two Acculamp 500 lumen 2700K LED bulbs, both work fine. It is not obvious why these might end up in the scrap metal at the dump, though maybe there are weird anti-efficiency luddites in town? We have heard such people exist.
A random Delta miter saw, note, not a compound mitre. Works fine. Vaguely available to anybody who wants it.
A random Toro lawn mower in good condition. It started but only ran for a couple of seconds. Pulled the carb off, pulled the jets out, cleaned with needle and works fine now. Fiddly pain in the butt to get the linkage all set but not such a bad job. We have the grass pickup also, it is just not pictured here.
A couple of pairs of ski boots in sizes that our offsprings' feet will be at some point in the near future. Handy dandy.
This thing is probably pretty useless. The bulbs are little tubes, pretty dim through the dinged up plastic. It is Snapon. The cable is really nice quality. Not sure what we will do with it.
Some equipment for emulating sporting activity. First an ATEC Rookie pitching machine type thing. Slightly scruffy condition but works fine. These things are not cheap.
Next an Atec Soft Toss machine. We have no idea what the use of this thing is but it seems to work and be complete etc.
With them came a bunch of practice balls.
These are fun to play with but we will be disposing of them as soon as possible.
Yet another random stroller frame device, Babytrend brand. Handy to have and presumably we will be introduced quite soon to somebody who wants this one.
This is a Dutch Ammo can, often used for 5.56 and sometimes for grenades and other ordinance. This was in the scrap metal, closed up, in perfectly good condition. This type of can is one of the best available anywhere in the world for carrying tools or other stuff, the depth is just right and they are deliberately very stable when stacked. The tension on the spring catches is adjustable and it has two handles.
They are quite rare and pretty unknown where we happen to exist so it is somewhat baffling as to how this thing got here in the first place and then ended up getting tossed out.
We grabbed these brass urns for the 16 lbs of scrap brass they contain but somebody might want them. There are some fun things you can do by carrying an urn around.
This is a very strange object. On the face of it, it is simply a Mongoose RX 5.3 road bike, whatever that might mean. Mongoose are not the best brand in the world. They have tried to make a thing that looks like a super fancy road bike but on the cheap. They went all out on the frame, making it look all aero and putting in the carved out seat post, put on the lowest end modern components, including brifters, and just filled in the rest from the bottom of the barrel parts bin.
Reason for discard was the flat rear tyre. We think they got a flat, replaced the tube but pinched the new tube putting it in, despaired at it and tossed it. It has the telltale twin holes you get from pinching the tube with an unsuitable lever like a screwdriver. Strangely we were able remove and refit the tire without any tools as it or the rim were slightly offsize, it was very tricky to inflate evenly centered on the rim.
A random stainless steel double walled ice bucket. We may use it or give it away to anybody here who claims it.
A random Schwinn balance bike. Was missing the seat and the handlbars were on backwards, incorrect initial consumer assembly. No matter, it is all ready to help a small person to gain two wheel confidence now.
Samsung 46 inch 1080 TV. Clearly the previous owner has just upgraded to 4k or something and left this in the e-waste. Well, we picked it out of the e-waste and tested it and it seems fine. There is a scratch on the screen but I think we can see through that.
This is a pretty new Powermatic table saw fence. It has been modified to fit another saw but is in pretty good shape. We will probably sell it, unless a reader here grabs it first.
A random Echo 2-stroke string trimmer. Reason for discard could be the fact that it has run out of string, not sure about that. Anyway, started right up,. had fuel in it, runs fine.
This Biria eb333 step through bike does not belong in the scrap metal. This, however, is where it was found. It may be the case that incorrect intial assembly was afflicting it, we had to tweak the mudguards and the brakes a little. But it is fine now.
These planks seem like oak. There are these plus a bunch of longer ones. They have holes in each end so are clearly reclaimed from some construction, maybe shelving? We might find a use for them at some point, unless one of you do first? Let us know if you want them.
This is a smallish axe head on a medium sized handle. It was pretty rusty and dried out when we got it but we reseated the head and poured epoxy in the cracks. After cleaning and oiling it looks fine and chops woody stuff. It will come in handy at some stage.
Shiny and fancy Maclaren Techno XT pushchair. Seems all very nice and ready to use.
One nice and shiny Bugaboo Bee, picked up after closing time in a mildly subversive manner. All present and correct, barely even needed cleaning.
A Sony Bravia TV thingy in good condition and seemingly working. I guess somebody got an ultra 4K super duper upgrade for Christmas and tossed this out.
Our biggest impediment to properly testing it is the current lack of a HDMI cable in the house.
A couple of Calphalon pans, early ones in very good condition. One skillet and one of some other type whose name does not spring to mind. Maybe sauce pan? These both have a the plain anodixed aluminium finish in good shape and are available to anybody who asks for them.
A Univega Gran Sprint. It needed a new chain and shifter cable, but is a pretty nice bike now. It was just nasty dirty when we got it but it cleaned up, modulo a few dings in the paint and such. We may tweak the config a little more before selling it.
Univega bikes are often complete garbage, but this one is not bad at all. Must be from their limited, "actually a bike" line rather than the "bike shaped object" line that we usually see.
Six random tiedown straps in a big spaghetti tangle. It took a while to clean them up etc but they are now stored in a sensible manner for their next usage.
This confusingly named Summer 3D Lite, or some such. It is brand new barely used and as such should be easy get back into usage.
A bag of assorted candy. This is presumably leftover from Halloween and no longer required. This pretty much has negative value for most people but we will see what becomes of it.
A random All-Clad steamer, it just happens to fit a nice All-Clad pan we have so will be put on the shelf. Another inferior steamer will be moved into deep storage, available for anybody who wants it. It would fit in the top of a pan that has a 7.75 inch ID.
Baby Jogger City Select Double stroller. It was a bit grubby when we picked it up but seems to have cleane dup OK. It is a very functional device so we shall see who wants it.
Grabbed by a friend for us, A Joovy Scooter X2 double stroller, we think. We have only seen it in dark so far, as the picture suggests, but we will inspect and clean as needed.
A rather nice Miele Silver Moon vacuum with big powered head. Works fine when plugged in, missing the attachments. Already allocated, we think, to a friend who has need of one.
A set of 235 55R18 Dunlop Wintermaxxx tires in very good condition. These will be offered around all friends to see if anybody can use them. If not, we will introduce ourselves to somebody who can using the list of craig.
A nice little Skuut like-a-bike thingy. Already dropped off with a friend so he can get started with his number one offspring soon.
Raleigh Grand Prix mixte frame road bike. Rellay spiffy machine this, needs a good tuneup and go over but this is a classic.
Another Kelty Kids rucksack. Use for carrying one's small offspring around. This is a pretty nice ones, super luxury etc.
A Graco stroller frame from the quick connect or whatever they call that system. Funcion and useful, somebody will want it.
Random Go-Glider like-a-bike. Perfect condition, never really used. We will find a home for this at some point.
A Gary Fisher Mamba mountain bike in very good condition, having been long neglected in a dry place. Air in the tires, hose off the dust and it is pretty nice already.
Random thought, who wants to sit on something named after a quite venomous snake? Or it is relevent that a thing named like a snake gets put between one's legs? Marketing is weird.
A Diamond Back Sorrento mountain bike, older, not super high end and slightly beat up. It will clean up to be a very functional ride for somebody.
This Bianchi Avenue hybrid has seen better days. We will give it a good check over and probably build it back up with new tires and seat and substantiable tuneup. A friend needs a bike and this will suit, once back in good shape.
This bike was suffering from numerous ailments, here is the list of problems and fixes:
The satisfaction gained from making this bike work with minimal expenditure of money was significant. The expenditure of time was not minimal, but also worth it.
A Baby Trend Snap-n-go stroller frame thingy for those people unlucky enough to have had two offspring at the same time. Near new condition.
Uppababy G-luxe stroller, what a silly name. Never mind, handy little stroller for moving kids around, pretty light and sensible.
This is a small metal tool box labeled "Bell System D". It turns out that it originally had a Snap-on ratchet and sockets in it. Empty now but we will find something to store in it.
Yet another snap and go stroller frame thingy. People always need these so it is worth a quick clean.
A random little Novara kids bike of no particular quality. Note, it is good as it allows kids of a certain size to learn how to use gears. As such we are pressing it into service and it performed fine on the way to the farmers' Market.
A Sears 3 ton jack. It was super dusty and a little rusty in key places when got it but it cleaned up just fine and works well.
Obligatory Muppets reference: Jack not name, jack job
This HP detachable laptop works fine. We do not have the passwords for it but a reset or reinstall should rectify that. Shown running Knoppix for testing and forensic purposes.
Of course weird things happen if you are running knoppix off USB and you detach the screen part leaving the knoppix drive on the base.
Dreamer Design brand jogger. Has some issues with the weird netting fringe but otherwise is really nice. Air in the tires and a clean and it is ready to go.
A nice simple Babytrend Jogger. Nothing wrong, useful stroller, needed the brakes adjusting and air in the tires.
Two Uppababy Vista stroller showed up with various problems and bits and peices. One had a bent frame, which is pretty bad. But over all there were two seats, one bassinet, two rumble seats, two boogie boards. This more or less turns into one Uppababy Vista and a bunch of parts that people might well want.
We found 16 Enphase M210 inverters that were presumably taken of a solar install and discarded. We or somebody else might find a use for them.
This random orange extension cord seemed handy so we picked it up and tested it to find it was actually defective. There was a bad cut that had severed the live wire only 2 feet from the end so we will put a new end on there and it will be useful again.
This Bugaboo Frog is a old model but a very nice device for moving small offspring. It has the quilted winter hodd, oooooh, fancy. It was in good condition and we think the reason for discard may have been the tilt mechamism.
The tilt mechanism sticks when certain plastic parts in it absorb water and expand over time, wedging the mechnism so that it does not move. It is an easy fix to pull it apart and file down the white plastic disks. Having said that we have to admit that we had forgotten how to put it back together etc since the last time we did it, but it is all fine now.
This is a folding wooden easel and paint box carry case thing. I t is a bit of a marvel of design in some respects. One hinge point was broken due to split wood so we fixed that and will give it to a friend.
Trek 7100 bike with 700C wheels and a swoopy ladies frame. The rear brake cable was rusted in place, the thing has rarely been ridden. Now all tuned up and ready to ride. There are a couple of nasty rust pits in the fork shafts.
A random Fuji low end mountain bike. It has not really been used, came to us super dusty via our man on the spot. Air in the tires and a quick wash and it is ready to go. And go it shall, we hope.
A Burley trailer for towing small lazy offspring behind your bike. This one is missing the canopy thingy but is still a handy item that somebody will want.
Random USB mouse, always good to have a few in stock.
Four portable hard drives. As yet uninvestigated, watch this space. Bonus USB mini hub thingy.
Of course we just bought one of these as part of back to school equipping. But I am sure this one will find a home somewhere in the house.
A random pile of Grohe bathroom plumbing fittings. We probably cannot use these but some person as yet unknown to us will find them on ebay and find a use for them.
A box of DeWalt framing nails. Could be handy, though only to the person with the correct nail gun.
A Casio fx-115W, or whatever it is. Yes, we just bouight one similer for school usage. But now we have another.
Four quite a nice teak chairs from Restoration Hardware. They have sat outside for a while, probably mostly unused. As you can see we are cleaning them.
A random Trek Mountain Lion 60 kids bike, 6 speed, linear pull brakes. Nothing really wrong with it, will get a clean and a new home.
Update: It has cleaned up pretty well and is ready to ride.
A brand new sink drain insert thinmgy with plug. We will toss this on the plumbing spares pile and hopefully find it in a moment of need at some point in the future.
A pretty nice medium sized Schwinn Varsity bike with upright bars. It has some rust spots and wear here and there but it has cleaned up nicely and looks way to nice for its age. Hopefully some hipsters will want it at some point.
A random Stanley hammer with pretty dodgy looking handle. Not sure if we will fix it up, might just store the head.
A pipe clamp on a short length of pipe. You can never have too many clamps but we will give this to a friend who has greater need.
This is maybe a 14 inch Tramontina non-stick skillet, lightly used. Pretty handy. Already cleaned up and pressed into service at a party within an hour of being found.
A Random Maclaren Quest pushchair, very worn rear wheels but otherwise in very nice shape. This is a refreshing change that something had been well used before discard. We will have to check the spares shed to see if we already have these wheels in stock.
A random Bosch circular saw, no blade and it does not run very well. Otherwise in very nice shape so we will look inside for obvious issues like brushes etc and see if it can be made funcrtional.
We found 4 deep clamps in a pretty sad rusted state. All 4 were seized on the thread. We shall see about the other two but these two have been freed up, cleaned up and given a coat of paint and some oil.
There were also some interesting looking bar clamps present, but they were all also rusty and not very long, hence not worth the effort to anybody who is not and obsessive tool collector and restorer.A friend asked for a pair of car seats for their growing offspring, so we went out and grabbed a pair of medium sized Britax models.
It is possible a pic of the other may follow.
A Verizon Jetpack LTE hotspot device. Very small and compact, USB powered. Seems to work fine. It has no valid plan configured at present, but when prompted to do an update it is clearly using LTE to do such.
We wonder how secure that update gateway/server is and whether there are any weird proxy type things running there.
A random camera tripod, brand unknown, but seems nice and solid.
A big kindle, the DX model, complete with some random media. It charged and came on, no idea why that blue tape is on there etc, to be investigated further.
A white second generation Echo Dot, Alexa in a small form factor. Seems to work fine, I am sure somebody we know will want a spy from Jeff Bezos in their house.
One pair of Michelin MX 235/45 R17 tyres with 3/4 or more tread left. A friend of ours who operates closer to the edge in terms of fiscal solubility than we do may take these and attempt to barter them at a used tyre place for the size he actually needs. We will see if that works.
Another Graco Modes stroller with quick connect system or some such. Near perfect condition, needed a quick rinse, and you can see here.
A weird assortment of Bugaboo Bee parts. We may hang onto these for a while and see what opportunities arise. The only reason this may be worth it is that the Bee was a really nice little stroller.
An Uppababy G-luxe stroller, umbrella style fold. A little grubby on the fabric but we think it should clean up like new with a little attention and the correct cleaning fluids.
Another Specialized Hardrock mountain bike. One bad tires, pedals were naff, but cleaned up very nicely and is waiting for a new rider. You are seeing the before picture here, it is now devastatingly shiny and appealing.
Grabbed directly from the back of a pickup, never touched the ground.
A pile of shelf brackets. Handy dandy.
A Buck Bros plane, clearly a Stanley ripoff. New in the box, tossed in the scrap metal. We don't want it but somebnody we know does.
A Phil and Ted under over style jogger-ish stroller. It is all in pretty nice condition, all present and correct with a few random stains. It was put out on curbside with a pile of ash in the seat. You can see from the picture that we have started to remedy this issue and clean it up.
Two unremarkable but potentially useful stainless steel pan lids.
A random plastic paint roller tray, we use these and so now we have another one in stock.
A Kelty Kids fancy rucksack thingy for carrying your lazy offspring. This one seems really complicated.
This Jamis Exile mountain bike was grabbed by a bucket loader and dumped in the scrap metal before we could get to it. Nevertheless we may resurrect it thanks to our comprehensive parts supply, sourced from you know where.
Grabbed for a friend whose crazy old mother potters in the garden and needs something to assist her pottering. Note this has a tipping bed and ball bearing wheels. Pretty fancy.
Upon close inspection it needs a new tyre, but that seems well within our technical capabilities and worth doing.These did not show up together, but an hour or so apart. First a set of fire irons, possibly with an interloper steel poker in there.
Next a set of heavy brass andirons.
A friend will be taking these and if he is late picking them up they will be scrapped for the brass.
A small nest of cast iron pans, including some older griswolds and such. To be investigated when we have the time.
This Brass bowl is quite thick and substantial. If you want it for your aspidistra or whatever let us know, otherwise it is scrap brass.
A Baby Jogger City Mini GT, all in very nice condition and ready for a new small human to be carried around.
One Uppababy Vista stroller in nice condition, complete with car seat holder attachment and hood for such. This was discarded in general waste, i.e. the pit, for those who know the particular location we found
We despair at the disgusting entitled laziness of many people in our vicinity. But not totally, as clearly we act as their environmental conscience.
Yet another Scotts reel lawn mower. Brand new, never used. It was shipped with some assembly required and the purchaser was utterly incompetent and made a half assed effort to assemble it. At this point they tossed the whole thing in the trash, minues a few small pieces. Once we had custody, we had to take out all the bolts and fix things up. The little retainer rings were missing for the handle mount but we got those at our friendly neighourhood hardware store and now have a new mower for anybody who needs one.
Reason for discard: customer too stupid for some assembly required.
A random Mongoose BMX. One broken pedal was an easy fix from our spares department. Shown after a quick wash to get the dust off.
Random Haro kids mountain bike. It is a little beat up but it may end up being used to stripped for parts.
A Boos butcher block. It has dried out and the joints have opened up a little on the top. This may become a chair or some other item, unless Brian wants it as his random extra chopping block.
It is not exactly the same, but similar to this one.
A nice Kelty Kids rucksck for carrying small lazy offspring around. Needs a clean but otherwise handy dandy.
A small Stanley Surform, in good condition, still sharp and useful so it will be tossed into the big drawer of files, rasps and surforms we have downstairs.
This Ryobi portable table saw has an issue with the blade tilt. If that is not easily solvable we will extract the blade and recycle the rest.
Yet another Maclaren Triump single seaat pushchair. Works fine, not even very dirty, should be good for somebody to use as soon as we can find such a person.
A BOB Revolution single jogger. The thing was in pristine condition, barely used, except for a nasty smear of (presumably) chocolate all over the harness straps.
We really have to question the parenting and economic wisdom of whoever owned this previously. Who gives kids chocolate in a stroller? Who buys a 450 USD stroller only to toss it away once it gets chocolate on it?
A nice example of a Perego Pliko P3 pushchair, all in very nice condition. Needs a clean and will be ready to go.
A random metal garbage can with lid. Seems brand new, never used. Garbage-ception, a new garbage can in the garbage.
Britax B-ready stroller, what a ridiculous name. Intended to suggest things I guess. It seems all present and correct and presumably somebody will want it to move their messy offspring around.
This Joovy Zoom 360 was in really nice condition except for terminal tears in the seat fabric. Not sure whether that is a design flaw or the result of user error. It turns out though that you can get a whole new fabric seat for 30 USD from their website. So, excellent, well done Joovy for providing reasonably priced parts support.
Pictured with the new fabric installed and ready for action. This is a good quality half price alternative to a BOB Revolution.
A medium sized Wagner cast iron span. Clean on the inside. Should prove useful to somebody.
A selection of strollers. First a random Uppabay umbrella fold style, not sure of the model. Seems fine and ready for a new home after a clean.
Very similar, a Chicco Liteway pushchair. Pretty nice device, annoying marketoid name.
Yet another double BOB jogger. This one a recent model with the black plastic fold levers and other changes. Tyres need air, needs a dust off and will be used by a couple of small visitors to our house.
A random Combi single stroller. These are not the most inspiring of strollers but they are pretty sensible and useful and people seem to like them. Hence, totally worth rescuing.
A Snap-and-go style thingy but made by Graco as part of the Graco Modes system they have. A handy thing to have if you need it.
A Maclaren Twin Techno, recent model in good shape. Not sure if we found the hood or not but we will sort that out when the dust settles. Busy day today.
You need to move offspring around, we have the tools.
A stainless steel built-in style sink and draining surface. It is 62 inches by 21 or so. This is available to anybody who wants it. It is pretty nice for a basement work area for example.
This Shogun road bike is a pretty fancy machine with lots of gears and a huge frame. Fatal weakness on these is of course the rubber brake lever hoods, they degrade and ruin the whole thing. This should be restored and looking for a new owner soon.
A JUGS pitching machine. Has a broken weld on a leg but works fine otherwise.
Check out the specs on their webpage
Pyrex measuring jug. Still has the label on.
A some random mixed games and puzzles and such. To be investigated in further detail.
A couple of interesting cast iron cookware items. On the left a Griswold slant logo number 5, which could command high value on ebay should we choose to go that route. The other a small pot for melting things like butter or whatever. Both rehomed with somebody who knows how to use ktchen tools.
Maybe he knows how to use ebay as well, but he is free to do what he wants with the Griswold. It is a nice little pan, we already have one.
A Mongoose BMX bike with a twizzler, that most useless of features. But then this is not really a bike, it is a mechanism for providing creative new ways to fall and hurt oneself as opposed to a device to travelling from A to B. Somebody will want it.
A random KitchenAid stand mixer. Missing the bowl and attachments but works fine.
Two devices to make air smaller. First a Hitachi pancake style 2hp oilless thingy. Runs fine, was very grimy when we found it. Missing the cover on the cutoff switch. Also the on switch lives there on that cover but it runs fine and cuts out fine.
Also a Husky brand small compressor. It was missing a power cable when we found it so is as yet untested, we will see.
A Topeak Bike seat, requested by a friend for some bikes we are fixing up for him. Ask and you may receive.
Another request, a bike rack for a car. It is missing one of the soft pads but we can glue on a patch of heavy foam there and all will be well.
A dolly thingy for moving appliances around. It has the straps to hold the thing on the skid, the protective plastic strips to prevent scratching and the stair lifting runners underneath. Within a day or two we used it to swap out a dryer from a basement. Pic shows the bottom half but it is pretty tall with loop handles on the end.
A fancy nancy FirstBike walking bike, or whatever these things are called. We have no need for it but I am sure we can find a home for it. Needs air in the tyres, but we all need air now and then so I will not hold that against it.
Rather nice Trek hybrid bike. It was used a fair bit by the previous owner. Brake pads worn down and maladjusted and various bearings had slop and was missing pedals. No matter, is already rideable and will soon be in tip top shape for a growing member of the family.
Note: It does not have an axe embedded in it. That was just in the background.
Two mac keyboards, but the wireless one turns out to have old AA batteries in it. They have reacted and expanded and buggered up this thing. The USB one we will keep for a spare.
Yet another Kettler pedal car, or Kettcar. This one has the proper rubber pneumatic tyres and as such is vastly superior to all the other ones we have, or have had. Unfortunately it was missing a key piece on the steering but we grabbed one from an inferior model to make it work.
One key advantage of the rubber tyres is that they are quiet. It is great when one's small offspring self amuse with a Kettcar, but the background noise of the harder plastic tyres is grating when one is enjoying a beer on the deck in the afternoon, speaking from experience.
Some big fat blocks of ipe wood. Presumably these were the end of beams or some such. That beam was a serious piece of ipé. This wood sinks in water, so a beam that size must have weighed a fair bit. Not sure what we will do with these chunks but some semi-artistic and functional project will spring to mind.
His and hers Trek 730 Multitrack hybrids. In very nice condition modulo the tyres and tubes. they are more or less ready for new owners now.
Almost new condition Specialized Hotrock BMX-ish bike, whatever that name is supposed to signify. New inner tube required in the front and then good to go.
A couple of pretty fine sanders. First a Porter Cable rotary thingy, works fine. It had lots of nasty goop on it and a bit pile of duct tape around the cable (which was undamaged underneath). Much cleaner now and ready for use or a new home.
Also a Makita belt sander. Absolutely nothing wrong with it, runs great and strong.
A random Samsung TV. The guy who dropped it off in the recycling said it failed to turn on sometimes. Works fine for now playing Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.
Some nice green wellies, near perfect condition and pretty new. Luckily we have an offspring that has the correct foot size to utilize these.
A somewhat older (we guess) Uppababy Vista in OK chape. Needs a clean, we will see how it comes out, if it cleans up nicely somebody will want this and they will make themselves known to us via the list of craig.
Update: it came up nice and clean and should be ready to go.
A random Ryobi eletric pressure washer in pretty good condition. We think it has sat around a lot more than it has been used. Worked fine, all tested, ready for a new home with some friends.
A pretty low quality and basic Raleigh M20 mountain bike. Nothing wrong with it, air in the tires and good to go.
A random Phil and Ted stroller with some small issues. The folding retainer catch is missing a piece and it has seen some use. It may well see a second life, not sure yet.
Miyata Ninety bike. Very nice condition, not ridden. It has sat in a garage for 30 years, then had new tires applied, then sat for long enough for the tires to go flat again, then was tossed.
A Billy Goat machine, 5hp, made for vacuuming up leaves and small animals that might chance into your garden. This is a substantial machine, was out of fuel when we found it, but started up pretty easily when filled up. Good to go, already rehomed with a friend whose neighbours' trees drop things in his yard.
This is a random BMX of no particular value. But complete and relatively shiny.
This is a random little propane powered outdoor pot burner. The kind you make deep friend turkey with, or some such.
A reasonable selection of Maxi Cosi infant and toddler car seats. They are a little dusty and dinged up but nice items nevertheless. One we have already passed on to people who will be in need of it at some time in the future.
Two orange and black Baby Jogger City Mini strollers. One is more or less brand new, possibly discarded due to incorrect user assembly. The other is just merely a very nice used stroller.
A random 3 blade modern styled ceiling fan. Just fine when you need and extra fan.
One pair of 700C wheels and tyres in good condition. Missing the front skewer.
Somebody bought their precious twins matching bikes, Trek MT60s. Then, after a suitable period of mild neglect and quiet rusting they tossed them out. The bikes, they tossed out the bikes.
After a little chrome cleaner etc these will be good as new.
A Random Razor small BMX with twizzler. Nothing wrong with it really, a quick clean and oil and it has already been ridden by a selection of small humans.
Baby Jogger City Twin, or some such. Pretty dirty, some wear on the fabric, but we will see if it can be cleaned up to usable condition. We suspect yes.
Grabbed by a friend in a neighboring town.
A random Lenovo laptop missing HD and power supply. Boots to Bios just fine and may be otherwise fine and functional. It will be passed on to somebody who can use it.
No HD present so of course it tried hard to PXE boot and went into a BIOS loop. More functional than some Windows machines I have used.
