Free: Sewing machine and coffee grinder...
 
Hi everyone,

We moved from Europe to New Brunswick, Canada a few years ago and brought most of our things with us. Some items we had to use with a converter and have now replaced them so I have sewing machine and coffee grinder (possibly one or two other items) that I'd like to give away. They are for use in most of Europe (Germany, Netherlands France, Spain etc). For use in UK you would just need to change the plug to a three pin one.

If anyone is interested, let me know. It would be a shame to just throw them away.

Donate them to a charity or charity shop . . .

Oops I jus realized you are now in Canada . . . They really won't have much value.

Two words: EBay. Craigslist.

It's a nice thought but shipping and other costs to get the sewing machine "repartiated" to Europe probably would not be worth the effort. Perhaps you could sell or give away locally along with a converter.

There's the off chance you could find someone in NB who is relocating to Europe and could ship the items with other household goods.

@Cathinjoetown: that's exactly what I am hoping for - someone from here locatng to there. It's really not worth it to send them somewhere otherwise.
