Stuff for sale (and stuff for free)

[beowabbit]

Hi! We are divesting ourselves of stuff in conjunction with our move.

One item of stuff that I am divesting myself of is my waterbed. It’s large; I’m not sure if it’s a queen or a king, but I think it’s a king. It has an amazing headboard with all sorts of cubbies and a mirror. It’s easy but time-consuming to assemble and disassemble (and you’ll want two people because of the weight of the pieces). If I were keeping it, I would want to get a new waterbed-mattress for it; the mattress in it is about ten years old, and originally had baffles inside it which prevented it from sloshing around a lot, but now it sloshes around a lot. (It doesn’t, however, leak.) I bought it from sionnagh for $300.00 when she moved to Hawai‘i. I’d consider offers between $100.00 and $200.00. You’ll probably need a station wagon to take this, and a van would be easier. There’s a picture of it here

Another item is a piece of furniture the name of which I don’t know. It’s a large glass-fronted cabinet for displaying dishes. with a thing like a wide chest-of-drawers underneath. I don’t remember how much we paid for it, but it was a few hundred dollars. Please make an offer. You’ll need a van or pickup truck to take this. There’s a picture of it here

Also, docorion is getting rid of his grey-blue couch and loveseat, which many of you have sat upon. I’m sure he will consider any offer. $0 will probably win unless there are higher bids.

And some free stuff:

• Two functional but somewhat wimpy microwaves (both will need cleaning; at least one will need to stay here until we move out, which will probably be sometime before the 18th)
  
• One odd standing lamp with a built-in little glass-topped table. This is designed to stand against a wall, so the table (and base) is semicircular, and the lampshade is not a full circle. It’s chrome and glass, with an off-white lampshade. It’s been in our basement so it could use a wipe-down before you use it.
  
• An exercise bike — all mechanical, no electrics. Probably needs some lube.
  
• The long¹, short² countertop-like thingy from along one wall of our kitchen. I think this may originally have been something like a lab workbench. It’s 7' long, 2'3" high, and 1'4" deep. Black on top, woodgrain veneer on the front, but some of that has come off to reveal particleboard.

¹ horizontally, end-to-end
² vertically, floor-to-surface

No doubt more free stuff will be posted as packing progresses.

BB is away this weekend, but he might be interested in the exerbike. I will prod him :)

Also, my parents always refer to their cabinet-thing as the Hutch. So maybe hutch is the proper term. Or maybe it's not.

As much as I'd love one, I don't have the space to justify it. So I will swoon gently in its general direction.

[beowabbit]

Ah! Yeah, that term sounds right.

If you ever do get a hutch, you should name it Starsky.

[beowabbit]

Alas, I’m almost certain the exerbike is claimed already. Feel free to ping me in a couple days in case that falls through, though.

[beowabbit]

For the benefit of everybody else, that’s the only thing that’s definitely claimed so far.

I'm sorta curious about the hutch thing, but it might be too big for the space I have in mind...

[beowabbit]

Alas, it’s taken already. Thanks, though!

I'm not surprised....

It's a gorgeous piece.

I hope your move goes easily, and that using the Pod means nothing gets broken en route.
