Is this a 'give away your rubbish' or a 'trade your rubbish' thread... I am unsure?

It's a 'giveaway your unwanted items which are probably not likely to sell but which you don't want to throw away in case someone else might be able to make good use of them and not expect anything in return' thread....

As Lawrence said:
Lawrence wrote:A thread for giving away those little props you have that you don't use anymore, the ones there's no point in selling (usually the ones that cost about £3 to begin with). Rather than throw that pen-through-bill pen away have a thought for the other magicians who might actually want it; like they say, one man's trash...
So befor you throw out a magical prop post it on here and see if anyone wants it.
[the usual trading post rules apply to the items of course]
New ruling: Whoever claims a current item on offer must post his own item for someone else to claim and so on.

Quite a mouthful xD
Perhaps it ought to be renamed as such :D

Something I've offered on a few of the bizarre forums, but will offer here as well. The arrowhead pendulum and one white skull have been claimed, but the others are up for grabs. Over the last year I have felt fortunate to be part of the bizarre community. I have had a wealth of kindness and generosity, along with time and knowledge given to me often freely. By way of a thank you I am offering a few things for free. I have been going over my props and have found these pendulums. I went through a phase of turning all sorts of objects into pendulums. These are a couple that I made. They are not the best quality ones I made, more the trials and errors. Not all made of the best materials or in the best ways. However I am offering them freely to any one who would like one, so the price is right. If you are outside the UK I'm afraid I would have to ask postage, but to any of the UK members just PM with whichever you would like. First come first served.

There are five Mexican day of the dead pendulums, crackle effect ceramic skull bead, chain and either bead or cross on the other end. One musket ball pendulum made with leather and an 18th century naval musket ball. One arrow head pendulum with a buffalo tooth on the other end.

I'm asuming usual rules apply ie you need to offer something to take up an offer. :?: :)

I don't mind if people don't want to offer anything for the pendulums without putting anything back as I offered them for free elsewhere, but would be nice to see the thread going again.

you know, i could find a use for all of those, except the Arrow head. :)
The musket ball, in particular .

I imagine that using something that was used to end a life, to contact somebody from the other side, would produce spectacular results.

you're like Yoda.you dont say much, but what you do say is worth listening to....
