2010-05-01 Offspring Amusement Devices

A small selection of things that might amuse offspring. First a thing that might best be described as a gravity ball xylophone. It certainly functions well in amusing a 18 month old inquisitive monster.

Offspring Amusement Devices

Next up a swimming noodle thingy. It is sort of a waste of space and expanded petrochemicals until you throw a small offspring in a pool and toss them this, it seems to amuse them for hours. Thusly will it be employed.

2010-05-01 Mats

Lots of random table place mats. Some of these are eminently suitable for grandparent deployment. Some for other random usage modes.

2010-05-01 Graco Snap-n-Go

This Graco brand Snap-n-go stroller frame implement is in near perfect shape and will be welcomed by some nice person who owns a Graco car seat and wishes to wheel it round a mall with their offspring inside.

2010-04-24 Peg Perego Venezia

This random Peg Perego Venezia pushchair is in fine condition and has a nice robust fabric. It has had a clean and oil all ready for the new owners that hopefully will chance upon it on the list of craig.

2010-04-24 Kelty Kid Rucksack

This Kelty offspring carriage device is in near perfect condition and ready for action. All very nice, and we hope the new owners agree with us.

2010-04-22 Specialized Hotrock

This random Specialized kids bike is all present and correct after a little tune up. It has a ridiculous name but you can always deliberately avoid reading that silliness that whilst riding along. Available for trade or will be sold.

2010-04-20 Babytrend Double x2

This might be a little confusing but a fine friend of ours has a occupation that tends to lead to lots of roaming through towns with curbside garbage. Hence these two Babytrend Expedtion double jogging strollers, both average condition with some fading on the seat fabric and stiff collapsing catches. The latter we can fix and then after air in the tyres they will be ready for a new home with people sent by the list of craig.

2010-04-18 Sigg Flasks

We found 20 brand new Sigg drinking bottles and a convenient tub to carry them home in. They seems to have been personalized for some event or other but that is no problem. They have already been given away to friend and visitors. The pic shows them already depleted by gifting. Within a day of this pic they were all gone.

2010-04-17 Swing

This random two child swing is in such nice shape that we picked it up despite the fact that we already have one. One of them may have to be sold off.

2010-04-17 Kolcraft Stroller

This stroller is pretty fancy for a Kolcraft and came with the car seat frame and reversible seat thingy. It seems all present and correct and will presumably find a new home with people sent to us by the list of craig.

2010-04-17 Cast Iron Pans

These two small cast iron pans are of no particular interest unless somebody out there wants them. The square one is a no-name but quite nice and would clean up OK.

Cast Iron Pans

They came with a huge batch of cookware. Most of it was scrap aluminium that we put towards garbitrage. Some were Wagner Magnalite that may have some value on ebay and the remainder these two items. Cookware is strange that way, it seems that some people discard entire kitchens worth of it all at once.

 

2010-04-11 Swings

These random swings showed up a while ago but we only just now got around to documenting them here. The pics are pretty self explanatory.

2010-04-10 Trek 220

A Trek 220, which was really a discard/trade affair. It was traded for the aforementioned Bianchi Rollo plus some beer so we will include it here. It shall find a new home somehow.

Trek 220
 

2010-04-10 Strollers

A nice selection of offspring transportation devices this week. First off the Mountain Buggy stroller, a conveyance of substantial price. It is in fine shape and just needed a clean to be ready for sale on the list of craig.

Mountain Buggy

Next up a snazzy Ingelesina Zippy psuchair, which is basically a Peg Perego Pliko. Some different features, some nice stuff, but all in good order and ready for a new owner.

Inglesina Zippy
 

2010-04-10 Stainless Steel Sink

We got this stainless steel sink a while ago but only recently the barbeque ash pan rusted out and we cast around for a replacement. It turns out that this standard size sink slides into the slots under the BBQ quite nicely, modulo some hammering on the alignment strips. And everybody loves hammering.

Stainless Steel Sink

Note that this BBQ came from the scrap and is in great shape as it is all stainless, except for the ash pan that was cheapo thin zinc plated steel. We hope that with all the improvments we are making this cooking implement will outlive us.

 

2010-04-10 Spalding Blade Bike

A Spalding Blade road bike, in reasonable shape, ready for cleanup and then sale to hipsters in a large nearby city.

Spalding Blade
 

2010-04-10 Raleigh Mixte

Next up a Raleigh Mixte road bike, in reasonable shape bar the crunched front wheel from the bucket loader packing it into the scrap metal container. Not to worry, we have a spare in stock and it shall ride again. Under the arse of some trendy character.

Raleigh Mixte
 

2010-04-10 Hoop

This Basketball Hoop is, as you can see, new in the box. We set it up so that certain small offspring could attempt to toss balls through the hoop and they seem to be entertained thus far.

Hoop
 

2010-04-10 Coleman Lamps

These two Coleman Lamps have been used and need new mantles but otherwise seem in fine shape. They shall be deployed at the next crazy nightime weirdness event we end up at.

Coleman Lamps
 

2010-04-03 Miele Vacuum Cleaner

This Miele was dumped in the scrap metal area and one of the annoying old men had cut the power cable off for the 5 cents worth of copper therein. We inspected the innards and spliced a plug on for testing purposes and it seems to work fine.

Miele Vacuum Cleaner

Particularly galling is the fact that this seems to be quite an expensive (though discontinued) item, see the next pic for some demonstration of that.

Miele Vacuum Cleaner Ad

For now we will replace the power cord with the correct Miele one and deploy this on the top floor of our abode to save carrying the others up there.

 

2010-04-03 Kenmore Dryer

This random Kenmore dryer is seemingly nearly new and we are informed by the previous owner that it works fine. Available to any readers of this page and shortly to readers of the list of craig.

Kenmore Dryer
 

2010-04-03 Graco Duo Glider

Yet another random Graco Duo Glider stroller, this will find a home via the list of craig like the rest of them that we have found.

Graco Duo Glider

These things are not the best quality but if you have two lazy offspring you need to move around they are a good basic option, we suppose.

 

2010-04-03 Britax Car Seat

This Britax Boulevard car seat is only a year or so old and has barely been used. The previous owners had cut the straps before discarding this predominantly plastic item in the scrap metal. We stripped it down to check for damage and such but it seems fine. We put on new straps and now we have a shiny new Britax seat.

Britax Car Seat

This "cut the straps" meme is obviously a great delight to the seat manufacturers as it is fear based marketing that masquerades as concern for consumers and happens to sell more seats.

 

2010-04-03 Bobby Car

This green Bobby-Car seems to have been imported from Germany and used a fair bit before discard. This will be retained for a while as we have use for such things for the meantime.

Bobby Car
 

2010-03-27 Wood

Some random oak planks that might come in handy for something. Also, not shown, some 2x4s required for a project on the house.

Wood
 

2010-03-27 Radiator

Yet another cast iron steam heating radiator. Some friends may want this but if not then off to the list of craig with it. People in our vicinity must have heatings systems to fix or upgrade.

Radiator
 

2010-03-27 Pack and Play

A Graco Pack and Play in perfect condition. It will find a new home soon we hope. It has the little wheels on the end for moving your imprisoned offspring sround. Maybe you could take them shopping in this?

Pack and Play
 

2010-03-27 Bike Carcass

Some poor chap had crunched the frame on his fancy Specialized road bike. We grabbed the carcass and stripped off no end of interesting parts, some of which are shown here.

Bike Carcass
 

2010-03-27 Bianchi Hybrid

A friend had this bike rendered surplus to requirements upon his male offspring entering the navy. We gladly took it off his hands and fixed it up a little. We may keep it and replace one of our other round town bike with it. That other bike (which appeared on this page), will get sold off to some person in a large nearby city.

Bianchi Hybrid
 

2010-03-20 Sledges

These two plastic sledges (sleds to the North American speakers of English who may chance upon this page) are in OK shape and may make useful offspring amusement/transportation device when the snow comes back.

Sledges
 

2010-03-20 Razor Scooter

This weird Razor Scooter has a spare wheel and a set of Hex keys built in so that you can change the wheel over. Not really useful with these wheels but an interesting idea nevertheless.

Razor Scooter
 

2010-03-20 Cast Iron Pans

These two random cast iron pans have yet to be properly investigated but may find a home. They join the stack we have in stock.

Cast Iron Pans
 

2010-03-20 Books

Some large number of books (some not shown here) and a strange kids' box. All good stuff.

Books
 

2010-03-20 Babytrend Jogger

This random Babytrend jogging stroller is in good shape and lacks nothing but a happy new owner. This deficiency will be remedied with judicious application of the list of craig.

Babytrend Jogger
 

2010-03-10 Dreamer Designs Jogger

This Dreamer Designs double jogging stroller is in fine condition. The reason for discard was that the previous owner, who had two kids already, had another one on the way and hence wanted some form of new stroller.

Dreamer Designs Jogger

We may use this for a while and then let it find a new home via the list of craig.

 

2010-03-09 Bronx is Burning

This DVD was still in the shrinkwrap and discarded with a bag of books. Some people might think that this is some incisive metaphorical social commentary on urban unrest, or even a more literal critique of fire codes, but no. It turns out thats it is 15G or so of crappo data that some random guy on ebay in Australia will snap up promptly. Gone already.
