Check for post codes or serial numbers to ensure they are not stolen.. I can't go back to a certain EU country I got caught at pistol point riding a stolen cycle that I'd taken out of the scrap metal skip at work & did it up to full legal spec. The court case appointment arrived at the unit four days after I'd left for N Ireland .
I know the guy who binned them, they were brand new to him last year. (Halfords best)

I see your steel stocks gone the same way.
I don't really hold a steel stock as such , the racks just keeps a few bits and bobs ,mostly offcuts and a few cutting edges commonly used . I order as required for projects , next day delivery makes holding costly stock redundant .
I acquired the realisation I'm an idiot.
Needed to get a boring bar setup in the new CNC lathe. Thought I'd take the solid carbide one out the old lathe, so ordered a 10mm boring bar sleeve, and since I had a quad turn bought on offer a while back, I'd get a sleeve for it as well, so ordered a 12mm sleeve.
Turns out the boring bar is an 8mm, and the quad turn that I thought was a 10mm and needed a 12mm sleeve, is actually a 12mm that needs a 16mm sleeve.
So I think I've covered every combination, except one that will work
For the amusement of @Tangledfeet , I shall just requote myself, and reconfirm, I am an idiot
I should really start reading my notes when ordering, to try and avoid ordering the exact same wrong thing twice
On the plus side, I did get one sleeve right, and quad turn tools are pretty good, although I could really do with a longer opposite handed one, as I'm having to run this one hanging out the holder and only held with a single bolt to avoid tool/chuck collisions

Good luck with the old NEC projector, they were well regarded in their day but that was about ten years ago, unfortunately a new lamp will cost you twice the price of the projector.
There was a time when I could have had any number of used projectors as we replaced and upgraded them for customers, I ended up giving them away to local artists / community groups but don't bother now, just send them for WEEE these days.
Im an artist and that’s what I want it for, projecting images. When it packs in I’ll buy another.

With the complexity of the stuff you're ordering these days I think the odd mistake is more than acceptable!

Lent this to a friend while I went home for summer, her mum saw it and gave her a spare bottle 1L bottle. A bottle isn't much use without a head so when I went to get my whipper back she gave me the bottle, I didn't tell her I had a spare head.A stainless ISI cream whipper (With a spare head for some reason).

Will need to figure out how they come apart, probably give them a dunk in the ultrasound and replace the seals too.
Unfortunately it's alu rather than stainless so nothing hot and nothing acidic (I was hoping to do nitro coldbrew in it) but it'll be good if I ever need loads of cream.
Notice I still need to buy a new nozzle, I had thought my friend would buy a new one in order to use it but clearly she's just been filling balloons all summer.

I got a thing.
A Brass thing, a brass pumping thing.
Oh yes some steel bits.
A few hours off cleaning it up and finding out what it does.

A nice wee eclipse vice to use on my centec:
Perfect size to clamp to bed.
Not bad for £25 I think.
