Now that we've moved house, we have a
lot of leftover stuff to be given away. We'd really prefer that it go to friends. This is just a sampling of some of the larger items and categories -- there's quite a bit more. Think of it as a tag sale without the tags.
We're strongly encouraging folks to take Stuff from our Memorial Day party. If you can't make it there, but are interested in particular items that are left over after it, write to us. It's first-come, first-serve, where "first-come" is defined as "hauls it away". Anything left over when we get tired of it (pretty soon, in all likelihood) will be thrown out or given to charity.
- Books: about a dozen boxes of books on every imaginable subject. Some crap, some really good stuff that just happens to be duplicates.
- Full-sized Sofa: dark red patterned, a bit cat-clawed, but still pretty squishy and comfortable.
- Rocker/recliner: rose-colored upholstery, mildly worn but still in very good condition. Identical to the one I use every day; we just don't have room for two of them any more.
- Chest of drawers/dresser: painted dark brown, 2 small drawers, 3 large ones. Not fancy, but quite serviceable.
- Sewing table: nice solid formica-top table, whose top flips up and a sewing machine comes out. Hasn't been used in many years, so the sewing machine probably at least needs tuning.
- 2 LP Turntables: both slightly broken but probably repairable. (One has a persistent hum, which probably means the grounding wire is broken. The other is a fancy linear-tracking table, which is somehow blocked: it will only play about 3/4 of the way through a record, and can't go any further.)
- IBM Selectric I typewriter: entirely intact and functional, as far as we know. This is an heirloom from Caitlin's mother, and we would love to keep it, but simply can't figure out where to put it, and Selectrics don't do well in storage. Goes to someone who actually wants to use it and take care of it -- this is one of the best typewriters ever made, not a cheap piece of junk.
- Computer monitor: conventional 19" CRT. Largely works, but the left hand edge tends to drift inward a bit when it has been on for a long time.
- Spice racks: lots of different spice racks, both plastic freestanding ones and wooden ones that are designed to screw into the wall.
- Games: a lot of games, mostly modern, of all sorts. Obviously all stuff I don't play regularly, but not all cheap: includes things like a big pile of Babylon 5 games that I've simply never gotten around to.
- Jigsaw puzzles: a whole bunch, of varying sizes and complexity. All were intact last we checked, but some haven't been tried in many years.
- CDs/cassettes: not a lot of these, mostly duplicates.
- Household misc: various kitchen gear, picture frames, glass candlesticks, etc.
