Cross-trainer, folding, barely marked, £60 ono, originally £340 in the January sales. Used four times, three of which were to move it so the hoover could get past. Comes with the original manual, still in its shrink wrap, and a very specific kind of guilt that is not included but tends to travel with it. Buyer collects, cash only, no timewasters, no January-resolution talk please.
Placed in the edition of 21 September 2026.

Two more from this week
- Upright piano, walnut, fully in tune with itself if nothing else. Free to anyone who can get it out of the front room, which we managed to get it into in 1998 by means nobody present can now reconstruct. Two of the legs unscrew, the third is load-bearing in a way our surveyor described as "philosophically interesting". Bring rope, bring optimism, bring a friend who owes you something substantial.Box C006
- Wanted: the second volume of a three volume history of the Buckinghamshire, borrowed from me at a barbecue in the general area of Haddenham and never seen since. I do not want volumes one or three. I have volumes one and three. I have read volumes one and three eleven times each and I can tell you now that the good bit is in volume two, or at least the bit that would settle a long-running disagreement about a culvert. No questions asked, though I will have several.Box C007
