Hi all,

Selling my cowhide rug as it doesn't suit my new house. Size is approx 220x200cm. In good shape, couple of areas where the hide has thinned on the edges, but nice overall.

Price is £50 posted. PM me with any questions.

That's the kind of pragmatic thinking I've always lacked :-)

The walls are really dense, solid concrete. The drill I have (which, to be fair is pretty shite) wasn't making much of an impact

some price drops...

Hi all,

Have an Eames reproduction 'Hang-It-All' clothes/storage hanger for sale. Bought around 12 months ago but never used as I subsequently discovered that my walls are about 12 inches thick and I'd need a pneumatic drill to put it up! So it's in as-new condition. Looks like the one pictured below.

SOLD. Thanks

updated with what's now sold.

Hi all,

Moving house soon and currently going through a very ruthless clear-out. I'll be listing a fair few books, cd's and DVD's in the next few days, and first up is some design and art related books for sale.

All books are in at least 'very good' condition, most are excellent or as new. If you'd like to know about the condition of a particular book please let me know.

Collection from me in Hove (Brighton) is welcome, or I can post at cost - and I'll try to send as cost-effectively as possible.

Cheers,

Hi all,

This is an unused Brooks B17 that I bought for a project which was then abandoned. It has very minimal storage marks only. Price includes UK postage, or you're welcome to collect from me in Brighton.

SOLD

Hi all,

Couple of bits for sale as part of a general clear out.

1. iPhone 4 16GB White
   
   

Perfect working order and in immaculate condition. I've been over it thoroughly and can't find a single mark anywhere on it. Comes with the original box, charger and accessories (incl. unused apple headphones). Also included is a leather Sena Ultraslim case for it. I've just done a factory reset and charged it, so it's ready to go. I had it on my Vodafone contract so I assume it's currently locked to that network.

Price £150 incl UK postage.

1. Polaroid 360 Land camera
   
   

Excellent condition for age and in full working order. This is one of the higher end models with glass lens and Zeiss view/rangefinder. Great picture quality and easy to use. Compatible with a variety of Polaroid pack film or the commonly available Fuji FP100C film.

Includes manual, strap, and the original Polaroid briefcase style carry case. I'm also including the Polaroid flash, but I've never used this so I'm not sure if it works.

Price £70 incl UK posatge

Dibs and pm in the usual way. Donation will be made to the forum if sold.

Thanks,

Yep, I'll get some more photos added tomorrow

Thanks, it is a beauty. Paint job was more than £200

Price drop to £250

Hi all,

I'm putting my stunning early 1950s Macleans featherweight up for sale, as I'm not going to have the time or money to build it up to the standard it deserves.

As well as being rather beautiful to look at, the frame is high quality and light. More info on Macleans can be found here:
http://www.classiclightweights.co.uk/macleans.html

The frame has recently been completely restored (paint, chrome and transfers) by Neill Shankland at Atlantic Boulevard, who's refinishing is about as good as it gets. As such the frame looks brand new. It comes with a re-chromed BSA headclip, which is quite a rare and valuable thing in itself.

Frame is 100% original, nothing has been hacked off or repaired.

ALL PICS HERE:
http://s1290.beta.photobucket.com/user/thinwhiteduke7/library/

Pictures probably don't do it justice, I'll try to take some better ones.

Frame size (seat tube) is 22.5 inches c-c.

**SOLD

**Welcome to view/collect from me in Brighton, or I can post at cost.

Hi all,

With much regret I'm putting my beautiful Leica IIf up for sale, as it's not getting the amount of use it deserves. It's in full working order, all speeds fire and are accurate, and it's in very good cosmetic shape - as hopefully the pics show. PICS ARE HERE:
http://s1290.beta.photobucket.com/user/thinwhiteduke7/library/

Comes with a 5cm Leitz Summitar lens, which is in very nice shape and takes stunning photos. Focusing is very smooth and precise, as is the aperture ring. UV filter and Leica lens cap is included.

SOLD thanks

Hi all,

Having a clear out following the arrival of our baby daughter a couple of months ago. I'll be listing some bike related things in the next couple of days, but first off here are some nice off-topic bits I have for sale. Donation will be made to the forum if a few bits sell.

Happy to post all items at cost, or you're welcome to collect from me in Brighton.

ALL PICTURES HERE: http://s1112.photobucket.com/albums/k499/pbrobins7/

1) Optima H27 home cinema projector £100

One of my favourite ever purchases, but my new house doesn't really accommodate it. So, with much regret it's up for sale. There's a good review, which also covers the main technical info, here: http://www.techradar.com/reviews/pc-mac/monitors-and-projectors/data-projectors/optoma-h27-50508/review

Picture quality is excellent. Not HD but is HD compatible (it downscales HD resolution to DVD res), and I'll include a HD to DVI-D adaptor. Also comes with remote control, original box and manual, and an assortment of leads. Cosmetically it's pretty much like new and there's over 1700hrs left on the bulb - so no need to replace that any time soon.

NB. Some more info for anyone unfamiliar with these projectors; they don't need to be ceiling-mounted. Placing them on a table or on the floor is fine - I put it under my sofa. Also, due to the high contrast and bright bulb you can project directly onto a light coloured wall and even use it in the daytime.

2) 1960s ORIS Swiss Made watch £95

High quality gold plated vintage watch in amazing condition for age. Glass is unmarked, very minimal wear to case, dial is like new. Only real sign of wear is on the winder - on which the gold plating has worn. All original - nothing has been replaced. Watch winds and sets smoothly and keeps accurate time. Comes with a barley used genuine crocodile strap, which cost £85 new.

3) Olivetti Lettera 22 typewriter £35

Beautiful typewriter (and often a fetish item for graphic designers). This one is in great condition for age and comes with the original case and dust cover. I've also just replaced the ribbon so it's ready to use.

pm me if you'd like any more info or pics.
Cheers, Paul

some more pics of the glasses uploaded....

Hi all, just a quick up date on what's left.....
Polaroid, amplifier and light meter sold, watch sold pending payment. Guitar is on hold until next week. Glasses still available - will be posting some more pics of them later this evening.

polaroid has been dibbed

@bodieanddoyle I'm not sure that dommyracer dibbed the watch, and I've not had a pm - so the watch is yours if you want it

@danb ok cool. Paypal, cheque, cash all fine just let me know what you prefer

@dommyracer - there are some pics on the photobucket link - let me know if you're having trouble viewing them and I'll email them to you

Hi All,

I'm having a general clear-out prior to a house move and have the following nice bits for sale. All prices include UK postage, but collection (from Brighton) is also fine, or I'm happy to meet anyone coming from London halfway at Gatwick for the guitar or amp. Will make a donation to the forum if a few bits sell.

ALL PICS HERE:
http://s1112.photobucket.com/albums/k499/pbrobins7/?start=all

1) Framus Texan 12-string guitar - £100

From the late 1960s. Sounds great, the Beatles used the same model when recording their Rubber Soul album. This one is in very good condition for age, has a few scratches and scuffs here and there and it's missing the small plastic truss-rod cover (these can be bought from ebay for approx £5). There's also what looks to be a small split in the wood where the neck meets the body - but I've had this guitar for over 5 years and it hasn't got any worse in that time and the neck is perfectly straight and the guitar holds tune very well. Overall a very nice guitar that plays and sounds great. No case but I will get a decent box and pack well for shipping.

2) Hughes Kettner Edition Blue 30-r amplifier - £85

Great sounding and very versatile guitar amp. Always scored highly in reviews. This one has only had light home use and is in superb condition. Paid around £185 for this when bought new approx 5 years ago.

3) Polaroid Sx-70 autofocus land camera - £45

Excellent condition and full working order. Comes with dedicated Polaroid flash. Looks great all in black.

4) Favre Leuba Geneve 'Sea Chief' wristwatch - £45

Very nice Swiss made manual-wind watch from the 1960s. High quality and Swiss movement with sweeping seconds hand. Has been fully restored and is in mint condition, pics probably don't do it justice. Winds and sets smoothly and keeps accurate time.

5) Weston Master II light meter - £15

Decent quality light meter in excellent condition. Full working order and provides accurate readings. Comes with original box and user manual.

6) Prada VPR 05F glasses - £25

Nice pair of glasses, bought a couple of years ago but hardly worn, so still pretty much like new. Dark tortoise shell colour. Come with Prada case, cloth and box. Paid £180 new excl lenses.

Let me know if you'd like any more info or pics.

Thanks,
Paul

I'm meeting FONE this weekend to complete the sale on this. If for any reason it doesn't work out I'll update the thread to let you all know it's still available.

This is now provisionally sold to FONE pending payment and pick-up.

@VeloRapide - to be honest I think the frame would probably be slightly too big for you, or at least you would need to have the saddle as low as possible. I'm just over 5'11, and I think that's probably as short as you could be to ride this comfortably

A couple of pics seem to have gone missing, so pm me for some more
