So my turn then in return from the items from @bloedmonster. I'm doing somewhat of a cupboard clean out to spread the love, they say one man's junk is another's treasure or something.

Thread URL: Link

Item 1: Microsoft Sidewinder Joystick, X05-929626. Note that this model does not have the twist-rudder function.
Link to product: E-bay
Age: Ancient
Warranty: Hahaha
Condition: Good.
Location: Pretoria East (home) or Midrand (work)
Shipping: I'd like to avoid this but if you REALLY want to...

Item 2: Forsa GTS250 GPU
Link to product: Mobilespecs
Age: Ancient
Warranty: Seriously?
Condition: Tested working this weekend. Previous owner did a rather, err, interesting single slot conversion. Not that it makes the giant fan go away mind you...
Location: Pretoria East or Midrand
Shipping: I'd like to avoid this but if you REALLY want to...

Item 3: Gigabyte ATI Radeon X1600 GPU
Link to product: OEM
Age: Ancient
Warranty: No. Just no.
Condition: Tested working this weekend.
Location: Pretoria East or Midrand
Shipping: I'd like to avoid this but if you REALLY want to...

Item 4: Generic 450W PSU. ATX 20+4 pin motherboard connector, 1x4 pin CPU power, Molex, SATA and even Floppy drive power connector
Link to product: None
Age: Ancient
Warranty: Nada
Condition: Worked in a friend's rig recently
Location: Pretoria East or Midrand
Shipping: I'd like to avoid this but if you REALLY want to...

Item 5: Intel OEM cooler with copper core, Socket 775
Link to product: E-bay
Age: Ancient
Warranty: No. Just no.
Condition: Working.
Location: Pretoria East or Midrand
Shipping: I'd like to avoid this but if you REALLY want to...

Item 6: Various 3G/LTE USB dongles. 2x Huawei E220, D-Link DWM-157, Huawei E153, Huawei K3715
Link to product: You go right ahead and Google them yourself
Age: Ancient
Warranty: Err...
Condition: Should be working, not tested.
Location: Pretoria East or Midrand
Shipping: I'd like to avoid this but if you REALLY want to...

And, if you're still reading, most valuable items kept for last:

Item 7: Ikarus Piccolo RC helicopter kit. Includes 2x Piccolo helis, 1x Remote, battery charger, USB adapter and software for practicing on PC. I have not done anything with this for years. Even just the remote and receiver should have some value but I need this out of my cupboard. The whole setup comes in a carry case.
Link to product: Ikarus
Age: Friend and I used to toy with this stuff before we got married. 2008ish?
Warranty: You'll wish it had one when you inevitably crash it...
Condition: No idea what works and what not, up to you to experiment
Location: Pretoria East or Midrand
Shipping: For this it will be worthwhile. Your cost.

Item 8: ESky Co Comanche RC Helicopter. Original retail kit Includes heli, 1x Remote, battery charger, USB adapter and software for practicing on PC. I have not done anything with this for years. Even just the remote and receiver should have some value but I need this out of my cupboard. Comes in retail packaging
Link to product: Hobbyshop
Age: Friend and I used to toy with this stuff before we got married. 2008ish?
Warranty: Although it flies easier than the Piccolo, you'll still wish it had one when you inevitably crash it...
Condition: No idea what works and what not, up to you to experiment
Location: Pretoria East or Midrand
Shipping: For this it will be worthwhile. Your cost.

Epic PIF this man. Would love to dibs something but I have a current PIF selected. Awesome!!
 
Thanks, I hope someone has use for these. I'll add some photos up top.
 
Lovely PIF. I'd certainly have grabbed something if you were a bit closer.

Okay, I'll sort the dibs later but it looks like the RC helis have a queue already. Other things still available. Not sure why someone tried to dibs a router, there aren't any routers in the list of items, just USB dongles.

Okay, dibs so far on RC helicopters only. I warn you guys that these are fiendishly difficult to fly, especially the Piccolo.

Order of dibs on Ikarus Piccolo
1 - @bloedmonster (pending clarification on which one he wants)
2 - @chimango88 (first in line if @bloedmonster takes the ESky one)
3 - @Cookie

Order of dibs on Esky Co Comanche
1 - @bloedmonster (pending clarification on which one he wants)
2 - @Cookie (first in line if @bloedmonster takes the Piccolo)

I'm in discussion with @bloedmonster and will advise shortly.

No dibs yet on other items. I expected the joystick at least to be gone too by this time... :(
 
This needs to go down as one of the best PIF's on Carb
 
So I never wanted to participate in PIF....but I had that Sidewinder long ago. Then our power supply whent kaputt in the computer and it got moved to a different case. Something was off with the USB ports somehow (don't remember exactly what) and they fried everything insert into them including that Joytstick.


DIBS the Sidewinder

There are a couple of things I need to figure out though now. Like how to to get it without shipping (@SILTECH786 can you maybe help?) and what I can put up in return.
 
And @bloedmonster chooses the Piccolo, sorry @chimango88

Updated dibs:

Order of dibs on Ikarus Piccolo
1 - @bloedmonster
2 - @chimango88

Dibs on Esky Co Comanche
1 - @Cookie

Sidewinder Joystick
1 - @Mast3rBlast3r

USB dongle
1 - [USER=36469]@Frostbyt1995[/USER] - Please pick one after Googling those model codes, all of them still available Sorry man, see you do not have 3 positive iTraders so you're not eligible for PIF. :(

If you guys can do your legwork with shipping and then get back to me on PM please. Bear in mind it may take a while for me to get around to it. Between working, being ill (yet still working) and having to deal with the kids on my own (wife away for work) I'm a tad busy.
 
Happy to help with any or all parcels if OP can drop it by my house. That way shipping will be easier for others
