Hi All- Since we are moving back to the U.S. and packing up our container this week- we have a few NZ items that we don't want to bring back that need a new home. We bought these things over the past couple of months so they are next to new...and FREE!

George Foreman (family size) grill
Bissell power force upright vacuum (similar to the dyson and works great!)
Panasonic cordless house phone (2 bases/phones)
Surge interceptor power strip

The stuff will be available after June 26- pls PM me if you live in the Chch area and are interested :)

You should put the things on Trademe and get some $ for them, then treat yourselves to a nice meal out before you go! :nice1

definitely interested in the phones and possibly the vacuum cleaner (won't know until later, as I might or might not be moving home to somewhere that might or might not have carpets).

What's the going rate for cordless phones....?

Are you sure you don't want anything for these things?

I'm sure we could find a home for the grill, if you don't have any takers,

Thanks,
Lucy

Fellow american here --I would love any hand me downs you are giving away! Phones or vacuum particularly!!

Would love to buy you coffee and chat as well before you go. I am very interested in hearing the details of your issues with the education here (I am a teacher in the US but not working here)

And though I haven't actively sought out any americans to talk to---would LOVE to have an american style chat!!

:nice1 Just read your mail that you're packed up and ready to leave. All the VERY best for you, and impressed at you passing your extra stuff on, all in the spirit of the forum.
