Clearing Up Shoe Stock

These have all been on Ebay since November/December last year and will go out for the kilo price tomorrow. It's a shame but I don't mind. All from bags placed nearby clothing bins, just on the curb, or just loose on the curbside.

Strellson smart men’s shoes. Great shape, pure leather, nice quality but not very high end brand.

Mango half open pumps. Cute, but nothing special apparently.

H&M plastic slippers. Tried really cheap, without result.

Gucci. This hurts a bit. But I think lookers may want proof of them not being counterfeit and I don't have it. Too bad before I photographed them I counted one of the shops in The Netherlnads and met the area manager for Europe, now I don't want to wait for November again. If I get scheduled for it at all. If I do I may just show him for fun and perhaps he can tell me from which year the are. Not vey recent for sure.

Converse low sneakers in condition to last for at least two more years. Fore sure any thrift shop will be more than happy.

Simple Wicker Table Lamp Shade

I can't remember when, but maybe even close to ten years ago I brought a wicker lamp shade home from nearby that was painted in an ugly matt orange, even close to a red lead iron base, so I spray painted it in silver wih an equally curb found can. Took it to several markets but never got rid of it. Then some years ago I took it to the thrift shop where it remained on the shelf for months. When it finally dissappeared I didn't know if it was sold or thrown out to make place for new or better stuff. And honestly I didn't care much.

So to my surprise a short while ago I found this photo in a local Facebook group: someone offering the three table lamps for free pick-up. Though it's hard to see it's silver if you don't know it, I so recognized the shape of my shade in the middle! And happy to know that after the buyer had enough of it hopefully found another destination.

Philips D 5420 Direct Drive Turntable

I found this over a year ago in front of my door, still looking for a working record player to replace my other, found in front of door, but that has a broken belt. Which I sewed together with some stitches! Image that, it works but it's not ideal. 

However, this machine, which is a direct drive, has a hick-up, the disk kind of jumps up every second or so. Besides that it's some special system that has an amplifier inside and I never tried out if that would work for me. End of story tried to sell it for parts or repair, but after 16 weeks no success. At the time I found one for sale on line in mint condition abroad. Probably the model has never been a big success. I decided it will go to recycling. Now that we have the Droppie shop in my neighbourhood it will make me a 20 cents or so. Still better than retrash it.

Foldable Storage Box

I still have this. Unsold after trying for a short period in 2018. The box is intact, but the surface shows wear. Possibly a cheap Action or other 'one dollar' store product and people expect perfection or will otherwise buy new for not much more.

Holding stuff now I didn't look at for years.  Decided to send it over to thrift shop this week. Too bad because I like it, but I shouldn't be needing extra strorage boxes taking place anyway. Will be a challenge to empty it, but transport will be easy as I can undo the poppers and make it flat.

Sliding Window Weight

This was almost antique, and I still see people offering sets of them: https://www.marktplaats.nl/q/raamgewichten/ but I never managed to sell it. Just having a single one probably didn't help. Forgot what I did to get rid of it! Nothing in admin whatsoever.

Turned Wooden Bowl

A fine piece of turned woodwork. Made most likely with the help of machines, but hand held so artisanal for sure. Though some TLC may have been required, I loved it for being refined and simple at the same time. Otherwise somehow it looks like it once had a lid. Which I didn't have. It never sold. Can't remember if I donated it to the thrift shop or giveaway shop, but I certainly didn't retrash it.
