At least they had taste

He finished his master's degree. Apparently he also finished us. Barely used, still logged out of everything — I promise.

The wedding got cancelled. The ring is lovely.

Beautiful, ethically sourced, never worn down the aisle. It deserves a happier story than mine.

Ghosted mid-tournament

We were supposed to co-op through the winter. Instead I got read receipts. The console never ghosted me though — flawless.

A gift that said a lot

I don't drink coffee. I've never drunk coffee. Three years together and this was the gift. It works perfectly, for someone.

Moving somewhere new

Downsizing my life into two suitcases. This one has been to more cities than most people — time to let it explore without me.

Carbon road bike

€550

Other · Good · Tom · Amsterdam

Bought to impress someone who cycles

I do not cycle. I have never cycled. I own exactly one story about this bike and it involves a very long, very silent Sunday.

It never made it down the aisle

Tags still on. I hope it becomes the happiest day of someone else's life instead of the saddest of mine.

Red flags I chose not to see

Kept perfect time. Which is ironic, because I ignored every single warning sign right on schedule. Serviced, boxed, ready.

One life, now half the furniture

The divorce was calm, the sofa is comfortable, and honestly I never liked the colour. New chapter, new couch.

It photographed a life I've outgrown

Every photo on the card was of a version of me I'm done being. Wiped clean, working beautifully, ready for your version.

Electric guitar

€380

Other · Good · Diego · Barcelona

The band lasted one summer

Two rehearsals, one argument about the setlist, zero gigs. Sounds incredible though. Someone please give it a real audience.

A clean break, in a size 43

I'd rather not tell the whole story. Let's just say these barely touched the ground and neither did the relationship.

"It's me or the PC"

Bold ultimatum. I chose peace, then quietly kept losing sleep anyway. Water-cooled, dust-free, undefeated.

The relationship was a mistake. The gift was not. Authenticated, pristine, and ready to be someone's treat to themselves.

Our couple's hobby (I hated it)

Turns out I don't like being cold, going fast, or the person who suggested both. Great gear though, genuinely.

Some soundtracks you retire

It played every 'our song' we ever had. I'd like it to make brand-new memories for someone with better taste in exes.

Bought for a winter that ended early

Warm, timeless, and worn exactly twice before things cooled down in every possible sense. Your winter, your rules.

Game night doesn't survive a break-up

Turns out you can't split custody of a co-op deck-builder. All complete, all pieces counted, all yours.

Not my scent, not my person

A fragrance that smelled like someone else's idea of me. Sealed, boxed — go be a better match for it than I was.

A kind goodbye

We ended things gently and I kept this too long out of habit. No drama here — just a lovely piece looking for a fresh neck.

2-person tent + gear

€160

Other · Good · Ben · Ghent

It fit two people. Then one.

Bought for the great outdoors and the great 'us'. Only the outdoors delivered. Waterproof, tested, one small emotional dent.

🌱

That's the idea.

Real people, real objects, real new chapters. Want in when we open?
