This later model Peg Perego Pliko pushchair (not sure if it is a P3?) is in OK shape except for being missing a useless piece of plastic and being pretty grimy inside. We may use this in place of our older model Pliko so it will be detailed, we suspect, followed by deployment in the service of offspring transportation.
Within a short space of time we found double and single Peg Perego Aria strollers. They all seem in fine shape, mostly just in need of a wash and such. Both of these will be sent to tantalise idle readers of the list of craig.
Update: Both sold within 24 hours of their initial exposure on the list of craig, These must be hot items as many people wanted them, we shall keep an eye out for more.
Somebody had thrown out more or less all the clothes needed for offpring from age one to 7. We picked through the huge pile and the pic below shows about a third of what we picked up. A lot of these items are really good stuff and will be deployed in the pursuit of protecting our offspring from the ever present threat of charges of indecent exposure.
This Misfit Rhino BMX is a little rusted in places and beat up in others but should clean up well enough to make some misfit juvenile very happy at some stage. Intermediate steps might include oil, adjustment and indexing on the list of craig.
Update: Mouse over the picture to see it in slightly shinier condition.
This Instep Elite jogging stroller is in fine shape except for the tyres, weirdly one of them is worn down to the fibre under the rubber. It seems tricky to wear out a jogger tyre like that, onne would think. New tyres from stock and this should be sent off to the list of criag to seek its fortune.
We found two Britax car seats within a short space of time, both recent enough to use and all very handy. One is pretty dirty due to the previous occupant being given free reign over foodstuff beyond their capabilities but that is easily remedied.
This Babytrend Sit 'n Stand LX stroller (oooooh, the luxury model?) is in fine shape and seems to be all present and correct. We have no need for it so it will be disposed of via the list of craig.
We found this bottle of Windex on top of a pile of rubbish on the street. Now it may not be the most exciting or valuable garbage find we have ever had but we, like many people we know, have windows and they sometimes need cleaning. Just what you need, sometimes when you actually need it. Shown sitting on Egbert.
This fancy looking Alita AUP250 pump was in perfect condition except the screw holding the impeller on had fallen off at some stage. This was probably the reason for discard. We put in a new stainless metric screw and tested it in a bucket of water and it worked rather well. We will dispose of this unless anybody elucidates their need for it.
These two small stainless steel food service trays were slightly dirty but after a scrub and a cycle in the dishwasher they positively sparkle. As you can see one is already pressed into service, it did not come with the potatoes inside.
This dual DVI XFX Ge 6800 card is used but is repacked in the original box. It will be tested and deployed at some stage. Contact us if you want it, it is an AGP slot mount.
This Sony Vaio PCG F350 came with the power supply. As the pic shows it sort of tries to boot. The machine itself is pretty old but may find a buyer on ebay.
The presence of the power supply also allowed us to test this Sony PCG XG9 we found a while ago. This is newer and ostensibly more useful to the world in general though it seems to have arty and abstract graphics issues.
Investigation of the found data to occcur at some point and then they will be ebayed off as is.
In a cardboard box with the XFX video card were these two Dell laptop power supplies. They will be used for testing future Dell laptops that happen to be found without their power supplies. Spiffy.
This random Trek Mountain Lion kids bike had a broken brake cable, this of course was quickly remedied. The air inserted into the tyres rendered it perfectly functional. The brake cable was presumably the reason for discard. This will either go to a new owner via the list of craig or a bike shop.
This random Roadmaster Mt. Fury mountain bike is really total junk but it is in such nice shape that we figure somebody with little or no eye for quality will want it. We would not go anywhere near Mount Fury on this bike, but then we would not take it on any roads, master of them or not, except to deliver it to a new owner.
This Raleigh Mermaid child's bike seems pretty crappy but the fact that it has mudguards and a Raleigh badge means that a new owner may be found for it amongst those who consider bicycles fashion accessories.
This is Magna Look'n Good is actually pretty innaproriately named. That is not important though because we can find people who might actually agree with the name of this bike and wish to acquire it.
This Graco Mosaic stroller is of a slightly newer generation of Gracos than we are used to. It had been pretty well used by a messy offspring but has held up well and will have another lifetime with some nice people who will introduce themselves to us via the list of craig.
