Plasma TV to Give Away

Rebecca from Karori

THIS UNIT MIGHT NOW HAVE BEEN GIVEN AWAY. I WILL WAIT UNTIL CHECKING TO SEE IF IT IS PICKED UP.

THIS UNIT MIGHT NOW HAVE BEEN GIVEN AWAY. I WILL WAIT UNTIL CHECKING TO SEE IF IT IS PICKED UP.

I have a +10 year old large plasma TV to give away. It is in very good condition since it really hasn't been used as much as it should have been. The thing is, I don't watch TV on it anymore (typically all my TV/Movie watching is on my computer or mobile now). It is Heavy, so whoever wants it needs to pick it up themselves.

Link to TV information: www.bestbuy.com...

Since it doesn't have Freeview builtin however I have a Freeview decoder (which has a 500gig recorder) which I am also giving away with it, as well as a Version 1 Google Cast.

Link to Decoder/DVD Recorder Information:
www.freeviewnz.tv...

These are great condition, so you could use them for your main watching units, or even in a games room, or something. A bit to big for a bedroom (but who am I to judge :D)

Let me know if you would like to pick it up (you probably need a couple of people to move it, it is heavy)

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

Water Blasting or Softwashing?

Adam from Wellington Wash

"Softwashing" is the most effective method of washing a house. It is gentle on the surface and actually kills the organic growth such as mould, algae and lichen. This means your house will stay cleaner for longer!

Take this Stucco cladding for example, a fragile surface that should not be water blasted. After a "Softwash" you can see that all the algae, lichen and moss has been removed leaving only the oxidation marks from the Aluminium window joinery.
The surface was not damaged, no paint was removed and the customer was left very happy.
