Cabinet dumped on camden street

Where are these coming from? Was there a bar/arcade in that area on Camden street that someone's renovating?

Probably came out of the Ferocious Mingle market there. They moved up from Thomas Street recently

I was in the ferocious mingle before but don't recall those being there although it does seem likely. Yer man who had retropolis used to be in the ferocious mingle so he'd probably know.

When the Palace had the pool upstairs they had some arcade machines and definitely a 2 player driving game. It's probably from their storage.

Skips gone got off work early to have a look

Booo, have my crow bar in the car and all!

Drop that thing back to Black Mesa, a certain scientist needs it quick!

Some so bizarre. Has someone taken up a lease on an empty unit, and decided that these were junk. Home one of you guys manage to salvage something usable from one of these.

Half tempted to grab a crowbar, and pop in regardless later on.

Anyone got the balls to wear a shirt and tie and ask the Palace for any spare machines? Find a shirt and tie gets better results :pac:

Can't see the palace ditching stuff on the street for 2 days, it's not like they are short of space
And was on opposite side of road

Call the skip company.I'd say they would let you take it ! Key waste

If only there was a way of showing places like this that there's a demand for Arcade Cabinets.

Also if the public had some way of monitoring what was going to recycling facitilites / dumps, (besides calling out and having a look round) we'd reduce a lot of unnecessary wastage.

Suprised they were even able to put them in skips. Mostly skip hire companies state no electrical waste. Is this not enforced. An enterprising sort might be able to get in contact with their local WEEE centre and ask them to keep an eye out for cabs for them.
Some really impressive stuff out their. Heard of people building and painting their own cabs. Lucky devils, if only I had a garage, instead I live in shoebox. :pac:

Seen plenty of electrical waste in skips in my neck of the woods, so doubt it's actively enforced much! :P

I find recycling plants to be horrible places to visit.

Namely because every time I drop by one, I keep seeing people throwing perfectly good CRTs away

The last two visits the same guy had a trolley full of CRTs and computers. Just fecking them all into a steel cage to be disposed of. I'm sure they all worked grand, just an office being upgraded.

Hands up something along those lines. Got rid of two old clunky monitors for my mom a few years ago. Wish I knew they were of interest to someone.

It's a pain in the hole trying to give things away for free though.

You wouldn't believe the utter time wasting arseholes it brings out of the woodwork.

I'll second that.

Never had much bother on Adverts until I tried to give stuff away. Hours of wasted messaging only to throw it in the bin!

CathalDublin

Giving away stuff on adverts is a flocking nightmare, never again!
I once gave away a bed on the condition I wasn't disassbling it and it had to be taken in one piece. Ended up outside the apartment block in the rain with spanners and screwdrivers for an hour!

Agree had someone deliver a free item to them. They were miles away. I said if you want it come and get it. Next thing I know they are asking me to post it.

Is nobody going to get the Supreme Video? Seriously? All it needs to be complete is a replacement monitor glass.

Skip was gone within a couple hours
