They are clean, with no cracks and a bit of dust in the bottom.
These usually sell for $9.99 each, so it's a bargain.
These would be good as a present for the cat lover in your family. Fill them with sweets and give them to the kids for a birthday or Christmas-heck fill them full of wool and give them to your favourite relative, friend, or non-binary pal who loves to knit.
You could buy them for your flat or your caravan or beach hut.
The ideas are endless.
These glasses, however, are not, and someone will grab them up if you don't.

I'm happy for you to pop in and have a look. Pick-up is fine.

Second-hand, but the boots are good. The sole is good, the laces are good, and the gold sparkle is a bit faded.
Size 7 UK 9 USA 40 Europe

These boots would be great for gardening, pretty punk glam, or drag boots. They've still got a lot of life left in them.

An email scam has re-emerged that references Police and other justice sector partners.

The email claims authorities have done a search of the email recipient’s computer locating explicit illegal material, and that a reply is needed within 48 hours or a warrant will be issued for their arrest.

This email is a scam and anyone who receives it should not reply under any circumstances. Although some versions of the email do not specifically reference money, other similar scams involve the recipient being issued a ‘fine’ when they respond. Police have received several reports of this scam and enquiries are underway.

It’s important to note that Police and other government agencies will never contact you out of the blue and ask for your password, credit card or bank details.
Anyone who received this email scam is asked to send it as an attachment in an email to the Police Cybercrime Team: cybercrime@police.govt.nz

Police recommend taking a cautious approach to unsolicited emails.
- Trust your gut instinct - if it doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t.
- Information on other scams currently operating can be found on the Consumer Protection website.
- Netsafe can also provide some helpful advice about keeping safe online.
