I’m moving in the near future, and I have a good deal of stuff in need of a new home. Any of the stuff on this list that people don’t take is going to end up in some combination of Goodwill and a dumpster, so please take any of it that you want!
I’ve got:
- One TV: Magnavox 29″ CRT Edit: Claimed by
- One VCR
- One DVD player Edit: Claimed by
- An assortment of wines and liquors, some of them quite good, some of them fairly dubious. Edit: The remains are claimed by
- One vertical CD rack
- One set of fireplace tools
- One double cassette / radio player (boom box)
- One Sony 15″ CRT monitor
- 1 small vacuum cleaner
Pick it up and it’s yours. People in the Bay Area will probably be more interested in this than other people, since I really doubt any of it is worth a long trip.
Interested in wines/liquors. Email me to sort out a time to transport in the next week.

Or just bring them to the bachelor party, and we can transfer then. 🙂

Uh, sure.
Then again, we could just wander over this evening with it and take our pick. Will you be around?

Hmm… probably not if you come over at a random time; I’m over at Amy’s most nights. But at a specific time, possibly; around when were you thinking?

Pls don’t lose my DVDs in the move – unless you want to ship them to my new address.

Or give them to Al, he’ll be here tomorrow.

I have put them in a separate pile from everything just so that they don’t get lost. I was thinking that I could get them to you at the wedding or at one of the events related to it?

Ah, that’s what happens when I answer posts before reading the rest. 🙂 I’ll give them to Al tonight.

Yeah, I commented before I saw that he was going to be there, so both our bads 🙂 Tell me about the vertical CD rack? ballpark capacity/material/size?

It holds (IIRC) somewhere between 100 and 200 CD’s. It consists of a black wooden square base, out of which sticks a tall black wooden rectangle. On either side of the rectangle is a long chain of black metal triangles that stick out, each about the thickness of a CD, and with a CD-sized gap in between each, so that CD’s can be placed between successive ones. The triangles reach something like 2/3 the length of each CD. The whole thing is about 4′ high.

Ok that won’t work for this but thanks!

If you are really getting rid of it, I would be interested in the DVD player. Is it multi-regional, or just region 1?

Region 1 I think, but I’ve never tried sticking other regions in it — some that claim R1 are actually R0. And I am most definitely getting rid of it, so if you want it it’s yours.

NP. And the DVD’s are now in Albert’s hands. Sorry I didn’t get them to you sooner!

The packrat in me goes, “Me, me! I’ll take your stuff!”, but the prudent part of me recognizes that, 1) I really need to stifle that packrat sometimes and 2) I’m a college student.
I’ll be back in the area in a couple days, but without a car, or really probably much of anywhere to put stuff. But if nobody claims the TV or whatever alcohol is left, I’ll borrow somebody’s car and take them them off your hands. A friend of mine got me a bottle of araq from Israel, but I have no idea whether or not it was good araq. It was tasty enough, though.

Oh wow, a 15″ Sony Trinitron VGA monitor. There’s a whole generation of college/grad students with fond memories of that product line.
Mine is still kicking around in my office at work, not hooked up to anything, emitting a sanity-grating whine when run at 60Hz.

And for the record, this is me NOT calling dibs on it. 😛

I’d say that this araq is probably the second-best in the world. The best in the world is produced in the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon, and so is a mite hard to get one’s hands on around now. 🙂 When will you be around?

My flight is Thursday. I could probably steal somebody’s car on Friday and swing by. You’re somewheres in Mountain View, eh? Any luck with finding good serfs (or any for that matter)?

I totally need that 15″ CRT
Actually no, I don’t… but for whatever reason it was momentarily amusing to consider driving 1,100 miles or so for a 15″ CRT.
Where are you moving to anyway?

Re: I totally need that 15″ CRT
Just across town. But it’s a good time to get rid of stuff I don’t actually need.

I’m in Mountain View, yes. No serfs yet; still not Baron.

bummer…
some little part of me had hoped to see you back in Colorado. 😉
That aside – I love purging material crap. I actually feel lighter afterward.

P.S. I’ll be a foster-Dad soon. Cool stuff. 🙂
