A Dell Pentium 4 PC with speed around 1.5Ghz, missing memory and some plastic. will probably be used for parts or in the making of a chimera. No pics for now, you know what a Dell computing machine looks like.
A not so high quality Trek mountain bike. It is serviceable enough to be sold anyway, it will be going to craigslist. No apparent reason for discard, the tyres even had air in them. It gave us great entertainment riding around in the snow in the middle of the night already, great value for money.
Update: Sold as a commute bike to a happy guy who found it on the list of craig. We were almost sad to see it go as it had provided some amusement riding around in the snow in the meantime.
Some teak outdoor furniture. A bench, two chairs and one armed chair all matching in a modern-ish style. The bench has some discard damage (i.e. something that seems have have occurred as it was thrown away) but that is easily fixable, we think. Otherwise they are all solid and just need a clean and maybe some teak oil. We could use these but we have a bunch of this type of stuff already so these may become available after some consideration.
A Peg Perego Prima Pappa rocking high chair. What a stupid idea! Rocking one's small offspring while they are eating seems like a recipe for a mess. Chair is in OK shape but has a hole in the fabric seat liner. We shall see what occurs here, probably will be sold on the list of craig, to some people the rocking element is a premium feature or some such.
A Gateway Pentium 4 with WinME installed, all present and correct on the initial physical inspection at least. Machine belonged to an adolescent male, here are some humdrum google searches, after having removed the ego driven self-searches to protect the former owner from your specific (as opposed to non-specific) ridicule.

Not sure about reason for discard yet but the disk seems to have some not-quite-fatal-yet issues. Closer inspection of the Recycled dir shows a discarded Morpheus install with a bunch of music, images and porn movies, notably several Jenna Jameson offerings. Evidence of stuff no longer present is also plentiful in db files.
Some random PVR, not a tivo. It seemed to have issues coming up properly but when we pulled the 80G HD inside that seemed to work fine. OK then, the rest of it is junk and we prepare to see what can be found in terms of cool TV programming on this thing. Exactly one recording was present, and it was 250 seconds of TV snow. Of course it is not even well encoded snow because no PVR manufacturer sets up their mpeg2 parameters to be useful for snow. Download the 150M file here, if you are really curious. Play it directly from your command line with:
mplayer http://user-agent.org/stuff/images/pvr_snow.vob
A jogging stroller with ripped fabric in two critical places we fear. Oh no, a genuine reason for discard! Never mind, we have another in stock that has a cracked aluminium wheel mount area. We were going to weld that up but it seems a lot faster to take the (almost new) fabric from that one and put it on this frame. The new chimera stroller is now on the list of craig, trying to feed the family. Fine and dandy.
The VIA server from the other day has no graphics on it so I resolved to find a PCI graphics card for it (no AGP on the board). Seek and ye shall receive. Pic may come soon.
A Cosco Alpha-Omega car seat for young offspring that is in perfect shape and feature laden, in a good way. We really have no use for it though so we will be floinking it off on the list of craig. Available at heavy discount to readers of this page.
This is thoroughly obselete but we picked it up for our friends who own a CD store, and yes they seem to be thriving. They are pretty much series-of-tubo-phobic. They do like CD changers though for the store and requested such from us. It even being a DVD changer and they being in the process of expanding into more DVDs I bet they will want a TV from us next....
A 1U short server with a Via twin CPU motherboard in it. This seems like a pretty nice machine so we may make it into a nice little backup server or some such in the basement. It is not fully tested as yet but so far we have great hopes for this particular piece of garbage.
A Babytrend double stroller in perfect condition apart from a 1.5 in hole in the fabric in the side of one the of the seats. It sort of looks like a cleaned up cigarette burn but larger. Who knows what the modern parents of today allow their horrible offspring to do.......
Today a bumper crop of german language books, always useful. No pic for now.
A Trek cheapo hybrid bike. Cheapo but quite useful if you actually want to ride somewhere. Flat fix and a quick clean and it is off to meet up with craigslist.
Update Sold on the list of craig rather quickly, fine effort
A pretty large cast iron steam heating radiator. This is a available to anybody that might want it (Monica?). Failing that it will be making an appearance on craigslist. It is a pretty good size and weighs probably more than 200 lbs.
Update: Sold on the list of craig to some happy fresh first time homeowners. They seemed a bit sketchy on the whole concept of steam heating but hopefully this is what they need.
First up a super fancy double jogging stroller in near perfect shape. Tyres needed a little air, and in fact the tyres seem to imply that this had never been used. The blue on in the background is a complete and very similar double jogger but it has a bend in it. Its fate is uncertain but the red one will be a craigslist special very soon.
Next a super fancy Maclaren double. This needed nothing but a clean as it had obviously sat in a garage or some such and got dusty. All very spiffy, it is sitting up on the table to catch some wind to assist in the drying process after the quick hose down.
A single mesh seat Maclaren pushchair with seat liner in it. Again perfect condition and all ready for some usage.
A Peg Perego highchair, offspring food induction for the use of. It is in excellent shape, including the padded seat. This will be sold as we have one identical.
Some random pieces of drumkit hardware. Not useful to use but we know people who may use such things. Bob?
These two are for some acquaintances that run a record store. They value the cd changer functionality for in-store use. The Sony works (despite its sketchy appearance in the pic) and is a very common discard these days, what with the advent of these newfangled music media. The JVC is actually a DVD changer and seems pretty fancy, not sure if it works yet.
Yet another record player, no pretence at ever needing one of these but it will go happily on ebay. Unless you, the reader, wants one? The last one was a big hit with its new owner.
