Images of items I have purchased (except trainers)

In stock, quick shipping and fitted the budget. Ordered it Thurday pm, then got a recommendation for 2ndhnd from a friend on here about an hour later.

I'd have got an Ikea Markus if they'd been in stock, but like most home working related stuff there's no availability. Absolutely positively didn't want a pretend race car gamer seat on wheels (sorry OcUK!). Already got something similar on the race rig, and I don't need bolsters to hold me in sat at a desk.

I got the same one a week or so ago, it is fantastic. Leaning back and being able to curve the lower part of your back is absolute bliss. Definitely worth the price on 2ndhnd for sure.

My first pair of open back headphones! Shame the cable it came with was broken only paid 100 tho

I'm waiting on these same headphones turning up , fingers crossed they are worth the money lol

Where does one to get such air guns?

I got the pistol from wolf armouries https://wolfarmouries.co.uk/
And custom parts from elite shooting centre http://www.eliteshootingcentre.co.uk/

Be warned if you are not a regular airsoft player you can't buy airsoft guns (RIF) realistic imitation firearm with a valid defence such as UKARA registration unless sold as bright painted two-tone.

If you just want something to target practice in the garden and over 18 you can get an airgun.

LOL, sorry ... phone call, got distracted!

Steelcase Please v2

Next up, new carpet!

Potential reasons it got refurbished: Poo, someone died in it, former adult film set prop.

 

[Martynt74]

Weird mixture.

First some 28mm Birch Ply for a project (see Balance Board thread in Home and Garden)




Secondly i picked up this. We've just ordered 2 new wooden loungers for the garden, but sometimes there's 3 of us. Doesn't justify buying another expensive wooden one, so picked this up for those occasions.

It smells like holiday

Cleaned up and has been recovered so I don't care! I'll pocket the £650 saving.

More likely a company went bump, or closed an office. My employer had an enormous storage facility full of office furniture and old desktop PCs after we shut about 15 buildings about three years ago...

tbf for £650 off I don't think I'd care either, it certainly beats the dining chair I'm using!

I got my Steelcase Think from there years ago, poop or no poop they're excellent value

 

[Psycho Sonny]

Why should he? Because you think you know better than everyone else?

Because they are much better for little less more.

That is a fact. Steelseries are a gimmicky brand. Audeze and sennheiser are sound specialists.

It's like someone buying a gaming chair which looks like a recaro racing seat vs a proper office chair like herman miller.

Anything associated to gaming is usually gimmicky and overpriced as a result.

for music they are end game in terms of sound and quality. You could spend £1K on headphones and they would only be at best less than a percentage point better.

the hd650 is just a more warmer sounding variant.

i would say there is no real upgrade path from these only sideways. unless you have £10K to spend or a crap source and signal.

Well I paid £260 which I was happy to do as they are sennheiser and they do have those lovely velour pads too .

I was considering moving back to a home gym before COVID-19 so ordered some stuff around mid March. Slowly coming together. Still need to get a wall mounted cable machine and a half rack.

The bench and the 2kg - 32kg adjustable dumbbells are serving me well. Plan to get the log cabin carpeted when things are more normal.

clean set up. i'll be getting the same dumbells when they come back in stock.

what bench is that i have a body-solid at the moment but i should have sold that and kept the gym ratz one i had but i can still sell and get another.

i just sold my full dumbell collection for over £3K paid about £500 for it second hand way back in the day.

[£15]

Splashed out on some Okatsune 103 Secateurs. Of course I had to buy the holster for it. And then the sharpening stone.

Off out to trim my bush...I will be sure to maintain social distancing.

I have the Q701's and they are the best competitive gaming headset you can buy period a slightly modded version of the K702. Both are very very similar though.

Mine squeak a lot so I've had to stuff cardboard into both sides to stop the plastic on plastic contact.

I thought as much. I'll need to see what I get for my bench. Hopefully £300 plus then I might get the same. I want something more compact mine takes up a lot of space.

Can’t seem to find the Q701’s anymore, I’ve been thinking of the K702 for a while now.
