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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Some large number of books (some not shown here) and a strange kids' box. All good stuff.
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.
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.
We may use this for a while and then let it find a new home via the list of craig.
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.
This random Jamis hybrid has a bunch of rusty spots but very nice tyres and rides OK. It has had a quick tune up and will be given to a friend, the rusty spots should provide it with a small measure of theft protection. It had a couple of previous owner stupidity induced issues but they are fixed now.
This is a random crappy Snap-n-Go, they are really not our cup of tea but other people, especially those who cruise the list of craig, seem to love them.
This is yet another random Maclaren stroller. It had worn down rear wheels (a common issue) but we replaced them from stock. Otherwise the thing is fine and should find a new home soon.
You know how we accumulated aforementioned stock.
This is a set of Honda Accord wheels, they look to be new take-offs, with hub caps. Somebody in our vicinity will want these and that will be just fine.
This is some random cheapo Chicco stroller, but it is in good shape and Chicco have a good name so we think that somebody will want it.
This is a long awaited item and turned up thanks to Walter, our man on the spot. It is a nameless cast iron size 12 skillet with heat ring. It measures 13 inches from lip to lip and hence fits a random lid we had lying around and also perfectly complements our existing nest of cast iron pans.
Update: It is has already been cleaned and cured and we look forward to deploying it in strategic feeding manouvres. It has quite a bit of usage to go before it catches up with the deep shiny black of the rest of our cast iron, but we will do our best.
Update 2: Added the picture of it after a fair bit of use, mouse over for that.
This slightly funky thing is a Britax Verve. The previous owner were doubly clueless. The presumed reason for discard is a broken piece that stems from their inability to fold it properly. Also they had jammed open the brakes with a twig due to a cable coming out of its slot. It will be made available forthwith, having had the faults fixed.
This wooden basket-like storage container was in the scrap wood dumpster. It needed one joint gluing and a quick sand and some finish of some form (shown in the pic). Whatever was wrong with it was certainly no good reason for discard.
It seemed to have had some previous finish on it that was just not very good, so it should not have been in the scrap wood dumpster at all. That is only for untreated wood. The previous owner was not only clueless for junking something with no real reason for discard but also clueless for tossing it incorrectly!
This is yet another fine Maclaren pushchair in very nice condition and all ready for a new home. The previous Maclaren sold well so this should wander off quickly also, via the list of craig.
This Maclaren pushchair is in near perfect shape and was callously discarded in the deepest pit of landfill fodder. Rescued, a quick clean and it is ready for a new owner. They shall become known to us via the list of craig.
Update: Sold promptly to a lady who wanted to use it for a "destination wedding" in Las Vegas. While we agree that these Maclarens are handy for travelling we have to laugh at people who first figure out the need for a practical stroller when their horrible offspring reaches the age of four and a half. They had another stroller prior to this but it was of a type never supposed to be used and when they used it to go to a "Christmas Special" discovered that.
