Hi I currently have a Rimu corner Hutch Dresser to sell.

It is 2metres tall and will fit into a corner with a 60cm clearance either side.
There are 2 opening glass doors 50cm high at the top, below them is an opening 45cm high followed by a drawer. Below the drawer are 2 rimu doors. Both sets of doors have one internal shelf.
It has a few age marks as it is a good few years old but still in quite good condition. Only selling as I don't have the room at the moment.

Call Judy if interested. 3848519. Sorry no camera or cell.

Price: $100

Hi, I'm on the hunt for any unwanted bikes that might be taking up space behind or in the garage, any size, shape, condition.

Wanting to try a little up cycling project with them, once finished I intend to drop down to EcoStore so that might have another life for someone else.

Size/ rust/ working or not all not important. At very least it may save you a trip to the EcoDrop.

Will collect.
Thanks in advance
