Hello,
I am offering a classic from the '80s - a slightly used, stellar condition and well-kept white enameled cast iron bathtub. It was seldom used (I reckon twice over the past 11 years).

I am offering a classic from the '80s - a slightly used, stellar condition and well-kept white enameled cast iron bathtub. It was seldom used (I reckon twice over the past 11 years).
The top enamel is white as snow. Texture is smooth and shiny. No stain.
The bottom is preserved as it was since it was installed. Smooth and shiny. No rust at the bottom. Strong material integrity.
There are some rusts along the edge but is only cosmetic.
See the photos.
It's condition is far better than the used enameled cast iron bathtub advertised in TradeMe or the internet.
I don't have a trailer. The only option is to pickup from Avalon. Cash or internet banking.
If interested, please send a private message via Neighbourly. Or, reply to this post if you are not a member of Neighbourly.
Thank you. - Ray

What you need to know:
- The product is called Large $20 Acacia Serving Tray and was sold nationally.
- The product may be infested with Lyctus africanus (also known as the African powderpost beetle), a species not present in New Zealand.
- Kmart are no longer selling these products and will wait for instruction from MPI before destroying these.
Anyone who finds a suspected exotic pest is encouraged to call MPIโs hotline on 0800 80 99 66.

They deserve to be truly comfortable in a warm, dry home without stressing about their power bills, or their health.
They might be eligible for Warmer Kiwi Homes, a government grant offering 80% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump.
And they may get it even cheaper than that - lots of community organisations offer extra funding to reduce the cost further.
Go to warmerkiwihomes.govt.nz to check their eligibility.
