This unit in good but used condition and sorry but comes with out tapware. It has scuff marks here n there and a rip in the front. Over all though this basin still looks reasonably stylish its very comfortable. It has a side lever to adjust the chair from seated upright to a more reclined position. Needs to be picked up from Kilbirnie, I haven't ever done this but I think you can take the basin off. I Also have a matching basin only in white its not attached to a recliner or anything Ill post this listing and photos asap but if interested let me know. The measurement's for the black unit are 117cm x 94cm x 70cm. The measurement's for just the basin its self are 63cm x 50cm The white one is same as the black so no.s should be the same. The white basin is priced at $50. Cheers K

Price: $150

SPCA Pet of the Day: Ruma

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

"Ruma has it that I'm available for adoption. I'm a one and a half year old, medium cross breed - with a mix of staffy and boxer. I'm very affectionate with humans. Although, I'm recommended to stay with teenagers and older, as I'm a little unfamiliar with children. … View more"Ruma has it that I'm available for adoption. I'm a one and a half year old, medium cross breed - with a mix of staffy and boxer. I'm very affectionate with humans. Although, I'm recommended to stay with teenagers and older, as I'm a little unfamiliar with children. Otherwise, I'm the biggest cuddle bug! I have been socialised with some dogs at the centre, so I won't mind living with a friendly, playful dog. I would love a family that can take me out for walks everyday and keep me active."

UPDATE *** Very pleased to announce all items have been SOLD in one lot to a student starting Year 9 ***
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Second-hand Wellington East Girls College uniform for sale - $250 for THE ENTIRE LOT - would cost over $1,000 to buy new!

We’re paying this incredible bargain forward to assist a student starting at WEGC. This uniform has been sitting unused since we bought it from a very kind family last year when our daughter was struggling to choose between WEGC & WHS. She has opted for High 🙂

In great condition (used for two years by one careful owner), this would suit a slim girl:
- Blazer size 12 (AS NEW pockets still sewn shut, only worn a few times)
- long sleeve jumper size S
- sleeveless jumper size S
- skirt size 10
- raincoat size 12 XLong
- scarf
- tie
- PE shirts: 2x size 12; 1x size 14
- PE shorts: 1x size 12; 1x size S
- long sleeve white shirts: 2x size 12
- short sleeve white shirts: 4x size 12 (one brand new still in packet)

Prefer to sell as a bundle - not individual items. Send me a pm if you’re interested 😊 We live in Island Bay. Welcome to try on

Price: $250

"WWF Raw - Pied Stilt edition. All carefully choreographed - fake body slams, no pied stilts were harmed. They both turned around and chased a grey teal after this encounter, who was a bit indignant about being seen off when he wasn't doing anything - the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
