SHC Flea Mart

Transferred to this category, for convenience.  Previously, the name was "SHC Garage sale 2006".

As we get into our SilverHairs years, friends become even more important.  And, new friends need to be developed.  The club encourages creativity among SilverHairs.  In March 2006, on a Sunday, we will organise a garage sale.  Place, date and time will be advised.  If you have a place to hold this garage sale, please write your suggestion here.

Strictly for SilverHairsClub members only.  No commercial items. You will be given a given one square metre space to place your garage sale items.   So, if you have any items you like to sell off, remember we have this date in March.

An event organiser will lead this activity.

Interested to have a space, please place your name here. No charge for space.

    If you have something that you do not want, and that someone else may like to have, simply reply and put your item here. SilverHairsClub leaves it entirely up to both parties to connect on any item put up in this category.

    By Asian living standards, Singapore families do enjoy a better lifestyle than many others around us. Some of us do have the good things in life eg toys for our children, English and Chinese books for the kids, spare radios and TVs, kitchen utensils, used spectacles we longer put on, and unwanted dresses, pants and T shirts.

    I do carry them to Thailand, and give them to poorer families. If your family has something unwanted in the store room, and you would like to give them to someone who would need them, please SMS/email me. Thank you.

    Hi Everyone, As my present flat is being placed on the market for sale, I need to accumulate cash to pay for rental of new place and also there would be no space in the. As such, I would be selling quite a few items. To start off, I am selling my Akita chest freezer. I bought it for $300 a few years ago and it is still in good condition. Interested parties may contact me for viewing and offer.

    Currently, we are looking for a place to hold a garage sale. But, I see garage sale is a luke-warm activity. Guess, maybe this is not something silverhairs like to do. This activity is intended to promote the getting to know one another, and promote team spirit among the Silverhairs.

    We will prepare to send out news update, and if the numbers are sufficient, we shall go ahead. Keep in touch.

    Terence, Yes, it appears that a garage sale is not attracting attention. Perhaps we should change or rename it “Flea Market”. This would imply that anything under the sun which are moveable/portable can be sold. Besides, people who have hobbies like handicraft, paintings etc can also try selling their “works” if they wish to apart from sales of second hand or used items.

    Yes, Evelyn. Sounds good. I shall adopt this name change then.

    Hi Terence,

    How about having “Flea Market” on line. Since there are constraints in finding the location and then the trouble of moving the used items to and fro.

    Afterall, it is only restricted to our members only. Why not our members post their used items here and vice versa members can post what they are looking for here as well(example:David is looking for P4 computer}. Also those who wish to giveaway some freebies are also encourage to post here.

    Members can communicate each other to view the items

    However, the rules and regulations need to be implemented, mainly to avoid dispute between the sellers and buyers over the sold items (example:Pricing and Warranty, etc…)

    Only my suggestion.

    Regards

    Patrick Yeo

    I take in unwanted (both working and non-working) computers and computer stuff through donation. I will also buy if they are cheap and affordable to salvage components which are then reused. These computers are eventually refurbished to full working state before distributing them to needy families/people. You can get one from me if you cant afford to own one but not in full set. Just the CPU. Monitor, keyboard, mouse and speaker have to buy on your own.

    Yew Kwong, In my earlier working days, I used to work with newspaper classifieds. Although i have never been very careful with all the unwanted things in my flat, i learn from classifieds that even things in the store room have value. If not for me, at least for others.

    I like the Bee Gees. Will collect during May gathering. Thank you.

  5. This is interesting. looks like we all have something to sell. I have alot of stuff in my storeroom, never used for years.

    Recently, I bought a used bicycle, very happy with it, and use it for exercise, and cycling to the MRT from my place.

    I am interested to buy a few used kids bicycles, looks good and in working condition. Not so expensive. I am planning to give them away, and watch the kids enjoy themselves. Let me know if you have a bicycle for sale.

  6. When the next time you think of throwing away spoilt or obsolete PCs, give me a tinker to help you cart it away as donated item. Whether its condition is bad, old, dusty and dirty, I will take them from you even if the distance is very far. These PCs will be refurbished, unless obsolete which parts will be salvaged as spares, and given away to needy people or families (those who cant afford to buy). I have been doing this on my own for the last few years. Quite often I have to buy other necessary parts to complete a working unit. If any of you do qualify to be one, you can always approach me to get a unit but without monitor, keyboard, speakers and mouse which you may have to buy on your own.

  9. Terence, I am sure I have stuff that you can take to Thailand, eg. clothes, blankets, toys, story books, etc. Perhaps you would like to drop by my place soon and check things out?

  10. Shirley, I will definitely drop by next week, when I am in Singapore. Will call you first.

    Yew Kwong, I have a few laptops and PCs old P2s. I shall send them to you.

  11. Tks Terence. I love refurbishing old PCs especially the P2s which are most challenging. It is like giving them an “Extreme Makeover”. They are still very good working machines.

  13. Wow, I don’t mind getting from Yew Kwong a couple of the laptops after refurbishment. I too have spare keyboard, mouse and cpu from my friend. Yew Kwong can have them to refurbish. My computer needs overhauling too..

  14. Hi, Yew Kwong:

    Re #6, I have an old Gateway Pentium III CPU and can get my hands on two Phillips 15″ CRT monitors. The monitors are in good working condition, but the CPU hangs intermittently. Do you want these?

    Cheers,

    Ron Koh

  15. Hi Ron

    Tks very much. Will arg 2 pick them up aft CNY. Hope its fine wif U? CPU’s prob can be rectified otherwise will salvage 4 spare parts if failure is permanent.
