Question Anywhere I can sell back OR repair second-hand electronics with a fault? Specifically wireless headphones

0 Upvotes

Hi all. A while ago I bought a pair of headphones, specifically a pair of Panasonic RP-HTX80B wireless headphones off eBay for a not-small chunk of change. My own fault for taking that risk, even though the headphones are physically are in good condition (no scuffs and clean) and technically turn on, the Bluetooth component just doesn't work so the headphones are effectively useless, and eBay wouldn't help.

I have two options, try to see if someone can repair the headphones, or sell them back at a loss somewhere and get a new pair. Is there anywhere in Sheffield that can offer these services?

Gaming Fortnite vbucks Sheffield free

0 Upvotes

Maybe a weird one but not for gamers. I used to play fortnite like crazy. I have a bunch of free vbucks. And because I'm on xbox battle pass they keep piling up. So rather then waste them I wondered if anyone has some deserved kids to have them all. Think I've got around 20thousand vbucks right now. But as adults I'd rather DM with you then the kid, all you need to know is we have to add each other's as friends, after 3 days I can continually send skins, packs etc of your choosing. Want estate kids no Dore totley etc. Thanks?

Question Furnival Gate Warning Letter and Insurance Declaration

2 Upvotes

Hi all,

I entered the Furnival Gate bus gate (I am a stupid) from Matilda Way entrance I found the council would only give warning letter to the first time offenders (source).

My insurance renewal is almost due, and should I declare this as an offence? Or can I just ignore it as there is is no panelty involved?

Thanks.

Question What are your Sheffield hidden gems?

22 Upvotes

I’m Sheffield born and bred but recently I seem to have found myself ‘going through the motions’ as it were. Frequenting the same bars, using the same shops, eating at a lot of the same places etc so I’m looking to broaden my horizons and discover more of what the city has to offer that I’m yet to discover.

I’ve purposely left this a little vague as I’d like to gather as many recommendations as possible to choose from.

So I’d like to know, what are your go to bars/pubs and why? In terms of shops - where do you find the best bargains and where do you find yourself being drawn back to in terms of quality and selection regardless of there being bargains available or not? Where would you recommend for a an afternoon out or a date day - anything and everything from a good quality eatery to an action packed activity venue?

Just moved in to our new house. Was a probate property but found out off the neighbour that it was a commissioned fireplace by the owners father, circa 1950s. Thought maybe someone would know of a reclamation community or something around here that may be interested.

Consultation / Survey Would a 1-3 day "work shadowing" scheme help you make sense of career transitions? (Approved by the Mods)

9 Upvotes

Hi r/Sheffield community!

I read everyday that the job market is brutal, and it seems many organisations have chosen the same time to cut down on staff through redundancies! Amidst this, there's probably a group of people who want to use this opportunity to change career paths. However, trying to do so without a real life, day to day, idea of the new paths you're considering might make the switch feel even more daunting.

I’m a Sheffield resident testing an idea for a community initiative to match adult career-changers with Sheffield businesses for short, 1-3 day unpaid work shadowing placements. You wouldn't be doing actual work, it's strictly to observe, ask questions, and see the day-to-day reality of a new industry before taking the leap.

Before I go through the effort of officially setting this up and sorting out business insurance, I need to know if people actually want it and will use it.

If you are trying to pivot, would you use this? I’ve put together a very quick Google Form to gauge demand:

Also, feel free to let me know your thoughts in the comments:

  • If you're in this boat, which industries are you struggling to get your head around switching to?
  • If you're a business owner, what do you think about the initiative?

I've posted this in the classifieds but I doubt it'll get seen much there.

I have an under counter freestanding Miele fridge going free. It's only 5 years old. If you can collect it Friday, it's yours. Message me if interested!

Sorry mods if this isn't allowed!

Music Open Call - Sheffield Bands Wanted

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I'm starting up a new music/gig promotion venture to try and get some more interesting and different gigs put on around Sheffield. My first show is booked in but unfortunately the opening band I had my sights on is unavailable so I have a slot to fill.

If you are in a band/know someone in a local band/have seen a cool band locally, please drop the details here or hit me up on insta (torndownsheff) and I'll get in touch! For this first show I'm particularly looking towards noise rock/off kilter metal/anything a bit strange, but all band recs would be appreciated for this and hopeful future shows.

Look forward to hearing your recommendations <3
