Title: Having a clear out - FREE STUFF
Post by: Circuitbenders on April 20, 2011, 08:16:45 PM: right, i'm clearing out a box of stuff thats been lying around for years and i'm never going to get around to bending so its free to anyone that wants to pay postage, as i can't be bothered to stick it all up on ebay for a couple of £'s each

What we have up for grabs is:

~~Atari 2600 console X2 (untested)~~ GONE
~~IQ Builders - My little talking computer X 2 (can do some nice glitches)~~ GONE
~~Little Tykes guita~~r GONE
~~A soft toy bear that tells you stories when you press its feet~~. GONE
~~Video Tech VEC1070 video mixer / processor~~ GONE
~~Casio PT80 - a bit knackered and yellow but it works~~ GONE
~~A yellow butterly thing~~GONE
~~An ELC toy - 8 note keyboard with dog, cat and bird sounds~~ GONE
~~A purple Kawasaki keyboard~~ GONE
~~A lego musical thing~~ GONE
~~A small sampling picture frame / alarm clock~~ GONE
~~Interactive dinosaurs game~~GONE

If you want anything send me a PM with details of where you live and what you want, and i'll get back to you with a shipping quote. I could do with getting rid of these fairly quickly as i need the space.

Fair enough, ebay it is.

Post by: kitsophrenik on April 26, 2011, 03:28:28 PM: whats the chance the ataris would actually work!? ill ha them! lol where u based anywho?
Title: Re: Having a clear out - FREE STUFF
Post by: Circuitbenders on April 26, 2011, 04:21:01 PM: i think i bought 5 or 6 atari 2600's in a box years ago. God knows what i was planning on doing with them but i've given the others away over time and they seemed to have worked, at least nobody ever said they didn't. They're the plastic case ones, not the wooden ones.

Shipping would be £6 in the UK.

Post by: Circuitbenders on April 26, 2011, 09:52:37 PM: the kawasaki is one of these http://tinypic.com/xc96gx.jpg (http://tinypic.com/xc96gx.jpg) obviously without the extra stuff on it.

Shipping to the US would be £8.50 - about $14

Post by: parricide on April 26, 2011, 09:53:40 PM: i would love probably a couple of these.
what area are you in so i can get an idea of shipping charges. im in south west england
Title: Re: Having a clear out - FREE STUFF
Post by: Circuitbenders on April 26, 2011, 10:38:12 PM: I'm in portsmouth, but seeing as i can ship anything up to about 15kg next day via courier for about £9 or less, or probably a bit less for a few more days, shipping really isn't that expensive.

Distance isn't really an issue within the UK.

Post by: parricide on April 26, 2011, 11:55:55 PM: i think im getting a bit excited but i would like these:

Atari 2600
IQ Builders - My little talking computer
the bear (your bend in my avatar inspires me :) )
Casio PT80
the kawasaki keyboard (if dylan doesnt want it)

how much does this lot weigh?
Title: Re: Having a clear out - FREE STUFF
Post by: Dylan on April 27, 2011, 01:05:31 AM: It would take me a while to get the spare money for the kawasaki, so by all means Paul, if the fella above me wants it, ship it his way.
Title: Re: Having a clear out - FREE STUFF
Post by: Circuitbenders on April 27, 2011, 03:36:49 PM: parricide - that lot would be £8.50 via courier or £8 via royal mail standard parcels. If you want the stuff and you've got paypal just PM me your paypal email and i'll send you a money request.

hi paul ile give it a miss thanks for the offer its not the price of the postage just i wanted one for a while but really i dont need another toy to talk too right now !

ps yes royal mail have put their prices right up they are going bankrupt if you use their cheep options (2nd class) your parcel get free entry into a large skip! (landfill must cost them more than delivering it) shame really

Title: Re: Having a clear out - FREE STUFF
Post by: Circuitbenders on May 04, 2011, 11:52:19 AM: shipping to Belgium for the dinosaurs game would be £8.60 via small packet airmail, which takes about 3 days. Mysteriously its £9.70 via surface mail. which takes 14 days.
