Brand New Razer Gaming Headset

Maximus from Khandallah

Hello neighbors, my name is Maximus. I recently got a new headset from my parents that I wouldn’t like as I have just got another new one.

The one I would like to sell is brand new and unopened, has a 2 year warranty and retails at 160 so buying it at 130 or near offer would be a bargain.

Kia ora,

I purchased a Newline 810mm Black Powder Coated Channel Drain Kit for our new build to find it was the wrong one. It was purchased brand new and has only been taken out of its box once. Upon inspection, we realised it was incorrect! As it was purchased a couple of months ago, Newline and Mico plumbing have refused to restock it.

This product retails for anywhere over $450. I'm looking at recuperating some of the costs.

Dimensions for the Channel Drain are:
810 x 70 x 23
The waste is offset 480 from left, 330 from right.

This Channel Drain allows for tile inserts.

Also included with Channel Drain Kit:
Newline flange (leak proof 80mm outlet)
80x2 10mm PVC pipe
80-50 floor waste gully
And Profinish packers

For detailed information on the Channel Drain and its constituent parts, see the PDF attached below.

I am happy to deliver and I will accept bank transfer or cash.

Message me if you wish to discuss price.

I am also selling a 910mm Newline Black Powdercoated Channel Waste for $380.

Price: $360
