#secondhand

Kann ich irgend jemanden mit dieser Sammlung teilweise kaputter (Kronen, Flügel, Köpfe fehlen), teilweise abgenutzter #Fillies glücklich machen? Würde verschicken. Sonst kommen sie auf den Müll. #Spielzeug #SecondHand #verschenken

Gerne RT oder Tipps für hilfreiche Hashtags. Möchte ggf. die Tage noch mehr Zeug 2nd hand verschenken oder verkaufen, weil Umzug ansteht.

---
edit: Die Fillies sind vergeben.

Alas distance makes it impossible for me to help you, but hilariously I -- someone in the middle of the #Canadian #prairies with zero access to sea or ocean, DO happen to have a #sextant.

The story of this is amusing (IMO) so please bear with me while I share. 🙂

So one day I'm at a chain #charity #secondhand goods store (#ValueVillage, in particular) and I find this weird triangular-ish item randomly among the less-categorised items.

At first I assume it is a toy: I don't keep up with modern kids' #TV or #film franchises but it looks like the sort of weird item that might get designed as some sort of #alien #weapon, especially as it was made of very dark plastic.

Heute mein Ausflug nach getaner Arbeit:

#NochMall ist ein #Gebrauchtwaren Kaufhaus der @BSR in Berlins Norden

"Alles außer Neu"

In der NochMall werden nicht nur Möbel, Kleidung, Elektrogeräte, Haushaltswaren, Spielzeug, Bücher u.v.m. auf über 2.000m² verkauft für eine zweite Chance, sondern es ist auch ein Erlebnisort für Kreislaufwirtschaft & Abfallvermeidung.
Regelmäßig werden hier Repaircafés und Upcycling-Workshops angeboten.

Besuch lohnt wirklich!
nochmall.de

Da überlegt man ewig hin und her, ob man ein E-Bike braucht, will, sich leisten mag, und dann isses am Ende auf einmal ein Schnäppchen aus den Kleinanzeigen, ohne E, aber mit 24 Gängen.
Jetzt sind auch Lenker und Sattel eingestellt, Lenkertasche, Flaschenhalter und Gepäckträger vom alten aufs neue ummontiert. Nun muss ich mich nur noch bewegen... #fahrrad #bicycle #secondhand 🚲

@futurebird "American Eagle" had no meaning to me as a brand... looked it up after reading into your first post. Me personally am not too much into supporting/boycotting stuff or brands because of their ads. I just figure: brands are selling far more expensive than their stuff is actually worth (you're paying the brand). Cheap no-name stuff is often lower quality and their workers get paid even less? (If that's possible?) Anyway, I buy jeans #SecondHand for a while now. Brands. Works perfectly.

I've just uploaded a whole lot of new stuff to my personal for-sale site (UK only)

epic-attic.co.uk

A lot of it is parts for making electric guitar amplifiers (more to come)

there's also a variety of electronics to salvage (many power supplies of various sorts)

some fountain pens (more to come)

misc household items

old computers and routers

and I'm not done yet.

I really need categories next - but search is working.

prices are mostly somewhat indeterminate as it's a lot of research to work out a fair price, but get in touch if you see anything you fancy.

Today's thrift haul!
Brumma decided she wanted to be a part of whatever I was doing. 😸
The wooden puzzle is for my nephew's next birthday (turning 3).
The second image is all from a flea market that said "fill a bag with fabric for 100 SEK" and I couldn't resist.
I have no idea how much there is of each fabric, except for the bottom right one in the first image which had measurements on it and was 3 meters.

The total cost of everything was slightly above 500 SEK.

Ich habe letzte Woche zwei alte, ausgemusterte #UniFi AP AC Pro WiFi-APs erhalten, deren ekelhaft klebrige Soft Touch-Oberflächen jede Menge Schmutz angenommen hatten. 🤢

Zwei alte Stofffetzen, eine nicht unerhebliche Menge Isopropanol, moderate Muskelkraft und vielleicht 20 bis 30 min investierte Lebenszeit später und die Teile sehen besser aus als neu. 🤩

Sitting in public transit yesterday, I dug out my #FoldableKeyboard to my lap, paired it with my #Fairphone, opened a terminal command line app #Termux, connected to my #RaspberryPi #SelfHosting #HomeServer and updated its software remotely on the go. All #SecondHand #Reused #Refurbished #Computers & #Electronics.

No real need for the #Portable keyboard nor remote access here, just felt like trying it out for fun, and for a brief moment, it felt like I was leading a #Solarpunk lifestyle.

What does a #SolarPunk & #Lunarpunk reality look, feel, taste, smell and hear like? Well here's some tips for incorporating more of it into your life:

🐝Joining your local #CommunityGarden #FoodForest #Permaculture Project. It's incredibly nourishing to grow fresh fruits, herbs and veggies while saying hello and getting to know the folks who live around you. You may even make new friends 😉

🌱setting up simple #hydroponic gardens with a UV lamp connected to a solar panel or other electrical source is easy, cost effective a fun way to foster fresh herbs, fruits & veggies from your immediate home surroundings. Good for dimmer kitchens, balconies and backyards and helps in the winter months with seasonal depression.

👗Try to buy #SecondHand before buying new. There's an abundance of clothing, furniture, electronics etc. in our world, all made with human time and creativity just going to the trash 🗑️. So check apps like Vinted, eBay, #BuyNothingGroups , Craigslist or visit your local flea market, clothing swaps or 2nd hand shop to find these pre-loved items. The fun is in the hunt. And if you can find it, make it! Or learn from a skilled craftsperson to show you how to recycle ♻️ and repair your old items. Puts the DIY in SolarPunk.

🌿 #GuerillaGarden those forgotten small plots of earth around city trees and between intersections, that would love a wild flower 🌹 or two. Dropping a #SeedBomb or spreading some seeds of local plants helps the local ecosystem reach places beyond it's wildest dreams and attracts bees 🐝 butterflies 🦋 and other insects. Consider creating an insect hotel and adding that too!

If you need a lil jump start or steady guidance, I'm happy to offer consultations for a sliding scale. This helps cover my time and resources to gather all things you need to make your #Solarpunk ambitions a reality 🌿
