Office desk for free

Alex from Ellerslie

I have bought this desk in Trademe for $10 or so, about 2yrs ago. There are a couple of wear marks on it, and I had to refit two angle brackets between the side leg-plank and the back one. It has served me well during this time, but the one problem with it is the size: too big. I have already downsized to a smaller desk (with shelves above), and I've been trying to sell it for $5 in Trademe, to no avail. Dimensions are 1820x1100 (on the left side - must be 800-900 on the right).


Hence, this one goes for free to anyone interested. Pickup in Ellerslie. Visits can be arranged on request. Cheers, Alex


PS: Only the desk itself is being sold - no other items in the pictures are for sale.

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
