Hello everyone, at the end of the month I am taking part in the FNRttC to help raise funds for the Marlets hospice in Hove, I collected sponsors, donations last year and raised money for Help for Heroes so this time I have decided to raise some funds by selling off some unused cycling kit. I would like to raise as much as I can and I am going to donate 50% to Marlets and 50% to DEC for Haiti. I have posted all the pics of the kit and there are 25 items, it's a bit like the Generation Game...:ohmy:. I haven't done this before so I'm not sure how it will work? People could send a cheque, use paypal or pay in person if they see me. I can post items or deliver in person perhaps (for example at this months FNRttC). I'm not sure what a fair price may be for some of the items, the clothing I guess could average £5 per item perhaps? An electronics expert may come in handy with the lights, the Electron works fine but has no charger, the Lumicycles as you can see have been dismantled so need attention (but include 2 chargers, extension leads, lamp units, bulbs & mounts), the BLT also has no charger and the switch gear inside is broken - spares or repairs? All supplied bulbs have been checked in the Electron light and work fine. The Sigma computer works but just needs a new battery. The Buffalo jacket (item 18) has a small hole on the right sleeve (due to a crash) and is ideal if planning a cycle ride to the North Pole. The long tights (item 13) are unworn and would suit someone of giraffe proportions...:biggrin:

I am open to any offers for any items, this could get messy and if it's as much hassle as posting all the pics it will probably be a nightmare....but hopefully worth it.

Thanks all,

Mike.

Mike what do you want for item 2. I like a challenge :smile:

All the money I raise is for the 2 charities and some of the items listed will just get chucked in the bin (re-cycled) if there not sold.

Lumicycles have potential - £5 the lot? £10 if your feeling generous?

To be honest I thought the lights might get some interest from the Friday nighter's, the Electron is a really nice light with a remote handlebar switch, I'm sure someone must have a charger (or suitable) somewhere for it?

The BLT ain't great but for someone who enjoys challenge's, ey Steve...:biggrin:

How about £15 to £20 for the whole lot and I'll chuck in an item of clothing of your choice?

How about £50 for the lights and Helmet posted. If I can get all of them working I could sell 2 on and you can have the money from them as well to add to your pot.

As for an item of clothing :smile: Do you think any thing of yours is ever likly to fit me. :biggrin:

Cheers Steve, very generous of you.

Expect a large parcel soon and let the fixing begin....:biggrin:

Point taken on the clothing....:smile:

Please pm me an address to send the goodies.....
 
I'm interested in Item 7 - The Camelbak outer.
I've a 1 liter inner that I just sit in my 3 liter outer while it cool, but could do with an outer for it.
£10 ok, if so I'll see you under the arch.

Luck ......... :smile:
