Cleaning House (upd: 22-Feb)
by Brad Brighton, Geek-in-Residence, February 21, 2005 (You can get the first feedback post!)
It's time to clean up, to get rid of many things that have no import to me, but might be of benefit to others. If I have a target price for anything, I'll list it, otherwise, make a reasonable offer. "Free" is possible for some of the stuff, allowing for shipping (see below) but try to be reasonable. Asking for the entire list of items for $1.00 isn't going to cut it (and will be ignored).
Any offers (even if you want something for free) must account for paid shipping from Reno, NV (or local Reno pickup). As much as I want to be rid of some of this stuff, I'd rather donate it locally than to pay out of my own pocket to ship it off.
Finally, this list will be updated as I go through (and as I possibly get rid of things). I tried to wait until I had an actual inventory, but that's just going to take too long. There's simply too much stuff. I'll try to indicate various updates so that it will be easy to identify what you've already looked at.
Why don't I go to eBay with some of this? Because I'd rather deal directly with people first. After that, if I still have significant numbers of items with legitimate value, I might auction it off (the original Star Wars stuff comes to mind...). But until then, make me an offer.
If you want to discuss any of the items publicly, use the forums, otherwise contact me at cleanup at sentientfood dot com.
Payments for shipping or otherwise preferred via PayPal. Other options by specific arrangement only.
