Several lifetimes worth. I'd bought 4 boxes of the push-in air line last year at the boot fair and the guy promised to bring in fittings but 3 weeks running he forgot.
Anyway, all sorted and labelled now. If anyone has spotted a bit they need let me know I am never going to use even a small fraction of it.
4 size 2 Acrow Props.
Rusty, tatty & kept outside, trying were a bit seized up etc.
My 36" Record Pipe wrench & Record 35P vice on its tripod stand soon freed off the inner & outer pipes & threaded collars.
An attack with a wire cup wheel on an angry grinder, & some wd40 sorted them into functional items.
(Bought to be able to jack up my folks' place storm damaged outbuilding roof to replace a rotten wall plate & splice new timber into a rotten A Frame foot. At £20 for the 4 Acrows - I don't mind putting a couple of hours of freeing up these - really it's only this one job they are needed for).

So today I've got
A soft rifle carrying bag for my ICS M4.
10 euro .
Not the greatest quality, I really like the AliExpress ones but I need it quickly so not an option.
Anyways it has 3 mag pouches and a big pouch.
Used but paid an honest price compared to the brand new price.
Other two G&G Hi-Cap stanag mags for a a total of 6 magazines and not going to buying other ones.
I will cut the tape and separate them once they arrive.
30 euro
Again a bargain price as they ask around 50 + shipping for a single one of those over here, seriously.
Stihl chain sprocket for the Ms361
I can't remember how much for it.
Labubu clone for my niece
Chemical weapons against ticks.
With the warm weather I've discovered tons of them in my property, so many I can't stay there more than 2 minutes without finding some of them running on my jeans attempting to bite me.
Already experienced a bite and anxiously waited for a month for symptoms Wich fortunately never arrived but I'm not willing to repeat this experience again.
I think it was 20ish euro on Amazon

I acquired a fantastically packaged Maxi 310 beer chiller. 
The stainless pipes poking out the front aren't damaged thankfully.
It will be getting modified with PID control, the plan is to use the pumped coolant loop (usually used to chill beer lines/fonts/taps) to temperature control my homebrew fermentation vessel. I've not decided exactly how that's going to work yet, possibly two PID loops, one running the compressor/coolant temperature, and the other running the coolant pump/beer temperature.

I had a cunning plan...been tripping over my large 10t single screw stand for years and finally got fed up.
Sealey did a recall on them...so I figured I could send it back get my £98 refund (2012 prices!) and gain some garage space too...win win.
Sealey were very good...inspected the stand and decided that they weren't 100% sure it was recalled because the label had fallen off.
Unfortunately they decided to upgrade me to the latest 10t stands...a pair of them!
Lovely stands...but wasn't quite the plan! The tiny pencil in the pic is for scale!

They're lovely solid stands...just overkill for what I needed. I tried to get a downgrade to the 6t ones but they'd already shipped them.
Have to work out a place for them in the garage
A couple of top up for free p&p bits from Zoro - which then came in separate packages??
Bizarrely the conversion chart in A2 wasn’t available singly so I had to order 5 for £1.10 - and I now have 4 spare - which aren’t worth the postage cost to send to anyone

Very handy lot, its surprising how expensive they are.
I filled our nut and bolt stores up over the last month or so at the car boot, spent about £20 shouldn't have to buy any for many years two different stalls had damaged boxes all very cheap.

Well not today but they've only just arrived home.
First one courtesy of @RobCox, photo not actually in Wales but it has arrived safe and sound.
Then the next lot of treasure came from the man who has it all @8ob, some random tooling thats too small for him but the right size for the M300 (there is a load of HSS tooling under all those drill bits). No mug for scale but my rucksack is in the background. A fair haul.
The next goodie came from @cheb bur via Bob. It is very very quiet so ideal for use in the office for blowing off circuit boards etc.
And then finally, after sorting some brake lines... Bob threw another bucket of treasure in the Land Rover
So thanks to @RobCox for an enjoyable loading of lathe and great chat. @cheb for dropping off the compressor with @8ob and finally the man himself @8ob not only for more toys and gifts but also for saving the day by having most things you need at the yard. See the stuff you broke today thread...

It's moved!
Make certain you have got a genuine charger - a few years ago there were a lot of fakes around that didn't quite work correctly.
