50mxe20 Posted March 18, 2007 Posted March 18, 2007 Having a clean out. Got about 60 VHS tapes with various recordings on them. In many cases the tapes have only been used once or twice. Also approximately 10 movies purchased on Video (Pt Break, Snake Eyes, Good Will Hunting etc). Willing to give the lot away for free, otherwise going to the tip. Probably only applicable to Perth people as I doubt it would be worth shipping. PM me if interested.

I dunno about over there, but here in Sydney (at least where I live) people leave stuff like that in a box in front of their house and people will take it. Kind of a good karma recycling scheme. Just make sure it's not about to rain.

Kind of a good karma recycling scheme. Just make sure it's not about to rain. I remember somebody putting something on there verge for free and it sat there for a month, so they put a for sale sign on it, and it was gone in less than a day. (Or something like that). A good story anyway.
Timmy Downawell Posted March 18, 2007 Posted March 18, 2007 I've scored quite a few bits and pieces: a couple of perfectly good monitors, scanner, fax machine, DGTEC STB (can't imagine anyone throwing one of those away) etc. Someone dumped a bunch of stuff at the rear of our units last year, and I stuck a note on it saying 'please don't dump here, put it out on the street and people will help themselves' - the next morning they had put the stuff out the front and by the afternoon every last bit was gone.

johndee Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 Cheeky bugger. How did you go with the copy. No problems with coppying most. I used a Samsung HR 720, coppied to the hard drive. then burnt from that. The only ones I am having trouble with are 6 Disney ones, I think I will have to use a computer for them, I hav'nt worked out how yet. JB
