A couple of Lego sets, (mainly for the minifigs): Scooby Doo Plane kit (Headless Horseman, Scooby and Shaggy), Ant-Man giant ant kit (Ant-Man, Yellow Jacket, Hank Pym) and Ultron flyer kit (3 Ultron soldiers and an Iron Man) and a Winter Soldier minifigs (which, I'll be honest, was my main reason for getting the 3 other kits).

 

My Tamron 17-50 lens broke so I replaced it with a Pentax 16-85

It also seemed to come attached to the front of a new K3II

Oops

 

mx master from logitech,

Have used the mx performance even for gaming for several years.

The razor mamba 16000dpi is not available atm, thought a good time to give mx master a try.
Lot of people going ape for the mx master for some reason will find out if warrented tommorow.

Looks the business thou, adjustable dpi up over 1k caught my eye.

 

Been using mine for a week at work. Remapped the thumb rest button to escape which has been great in AutoCAD. The battery indicator is still sitting at 3 lights after an overnight charge. Loving it so far.

 

As someone that's (extremely slowly) building a home recording studio (a small one... and, as I pointed out, very slowly), I feel somewhat qualified in telling you that you will want to upgrade.
Also, acoustic tretment is HUGE in some rooms.

My mate's home studio (where we gather to drink and write Black Metal songs) has a nasty standing wave (honestly no idea what these are actually called) in it that we're going to work out of it soon. It makes the entire bass range lose precision, turns everything muddy.
It's OK if you're centre in front of the monitors (KRK rokkit 6's), but it's somewhat crap if you're off to the side.

A Dewalt dust extractor and two new circular saw blades for my table saw.

 

SAMSUNG Smart Ultra HD 4k 48" LED TV



Amazed by the quality... I thought that Smart TV's were a gimmick, but having iPlayer and Netflix built in are actually incredibly useful.

 

Blackhole any good? I need a good black car polish.

 

6 Patch cables.



1x 10' Cable



1x 18.6' cable

It's supposed to be, will find out when it comes and I can be arsed to get up and do the car

 

Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid on Earth


The big fella on the left is the main reason I bought the lot.

• Sigmatel Multi YS 135mm f/1.8 (with YS-M42 mount, hood and case)
• SMC Takumar 55/2
• Soligor Auto-Wide 28/2.8
• Asahi Pentax Spotmatic SP1000
• M.A.B. Auto Macro Bellows
• Soligor Extension Tubes
• Komura Telemore95
• A very nice camera bag
• The usual bunch of filters, a metal 58mm wide angle hood

The Sigmatel is absolutely humongous. On the right a comparison with my Olympus 135/3.5.
I'll be honest: I have no need whatsoever for a super bright tele, but for the price it was irresistible (gotta love listings with bad/incomplete descriptions ). I'll probably sell it later.

The Soligor is a real surprise to me. I always though B-brand lenses were meh at best, but this one is really well made and impeccably sharp stopped down just a bit. Maybe I'm just lucky with my copy.

And finally, the best candy in the world: cuberdons or "noses"

 

Can play games again yay! and steam to my TV


And a snuggle pillow

16GB Crucial DDR3 (2x8GB)
Dell Perc H200 8 Port SAS Card

£70 well spent

 

£70? How?

 

Nice buy, someone's walking round with a white stick; having been robbed blind

 

It was purchased from a genuine IT company.

But from what I can surmise the sales listing had been written by the receptionist, incredibly poorly. A few of them went for sod all.

 

Microsoft Surface RT 64Gb for 50 bucks

 

Isn't that a bit much for an abandoned device ?
