If wendybeth is offering up her "Cabin Boy" - someone better grab it! I have the laserdisc and the DVD - what an underrated flick. I'm sure that wendybeth has multiple copies of this classic, why else would she get rid of it?

(maybe she's just seen it so many times that she's committed it to memory)

Sweet. I'm at the same level of interest. I've seen enough to know I like the genre and to keep a conversation going for a minute with someone that knows their stuff. I'm by no means an expert though. Not even close. I'm not giving away the funniest/weirdest part of the movie. I'll have to see if you guys think of the same part.

PM/IM me the address that you want it shipped to, and I'll send it right away.

Cabin Boy really is hilarious. I like dumb/funny though, as long as it's done well. I really like the guy that plays the Dad.

Before I head off to the vault and find something to freecycle - I need to address the dismay that I feel over the heresy that has been so casually tossed at the gentle Chris Elliott. For those of you who, like me, feel that Mr. Elliott is one of the truly undervalued comic geniuses of our time, I present this (http://pocketsymphony.com/lot/bananas.mp4).

And now for my freecycle:
I have a pristine copy of the rare GRIND CRUSHER compilation cd, released in the US in 1990 by Combat & Earache Records.

The tracks are:
1. Morbid Angel "Chapel of Ghouls"
2. Repulsion "Radiation Sickness"
3. Carcass "Exhume to Consume"
4. Godflesh "Streetcleaner"
5. Terrorizer "Dead Shall Rise"
6. Hellbastard "Justly Executed"
7. Carnage "Malignant Epitaph"
8. Naked City "Osaka Bondage"
9. Filthy Christians "Extremely Bad Breath"
10. Old Lady Drivers "Colostomy Grab-Bag"
11. Intense Degree "I've Got A Cure"
12. Sore Throat "Horrendify and Kill"
13. Napalm Death "Malicious Intent"
14. Entombed "But Life Goes On"
15. Nocturnus "BC/AD"
16. Bolt Thrower "World Eater"
17. Lawnmower Deth "Satan's Trampoline"
18. Cadaver "Hypertrophian"
19. Sweet Tooth "Fat City"
20. Mighty Force "Thrashing a Dead House"
21. Spazztic Blur "He-Not-A-Home-Me-Marco"
22. Heresy "Release"
23. Unseen Terror "Divisions"
24. Napalm Death "You Suffer"

$1.50 for postage (or an equally absurd trade) and it's yours

I luv Chris Elliot! I also love Cabin Boy, but I know I have absolutely no taste when it comes to comedy. Still, CP's revelation that she actually paid to see the movie was a bit disturbing.

I also paid to see Mom and Dad save the world. Definitely among my top 5 of worst movies I ever paid to see. (I was an SNL freak at the time and couldn't pass up Jon Lovitz.)

I paid to see Cabin Boy because I was 14 and had a group of rambunctious friends. We knew it would be bad and went on purpose. It was way worse than we expected. Had fun anyway, because the theater was literally empty, so we were as noisy as we wanted to be. Ah, memories of the now-gone Fallbrook GCC 7...

Hey, whatever happened to Defenders? Did you guys watch it?

€uroMeinke

Heh - we are bad about watching DVDs - it's in our que, but I think it may be one I watch solo ;)

€uroMeinke

11-24-2007, 01:19 AM

I went to the dreaded Wal-Mart about a month ago (I really needed a muffin tin and Target didn't have one, what was I gonna do?) and while perusing through the ridiculously cheap dvd's found Defenders of Universe (no, I didn't forget the "the"), for $1. It looked Transformers-ish, so I picked it up. It is a dubbed Japanese anime. The worst one you could ever possibly see. Hilarious things occur all throughout. Scenes reused over and over again, people standing near glass and their reflections being completely different people, etc. Not to mention that whoever did the voice over doesn't speak very good english, so the inflections are off quite a bit, making for a very funny action anime. I don't want to spoil it too much, so I won't say anymore.

Everyone who likes anime should watch this, as well as people who just want a good laugh. So, if anyone wants to see this gem of a disgrace to anime, PM me and I'll ship it to you for free (it's in a small dvd case, it shoudn't cost more than $1). The only thing I ask is that you be willing to ship it to the next person that wants it.

That is if there is anyone but me that really likes seeing bad movies. This one is oh so bad.

So - I finally saw it tonight...and goodness what a feature. Take a giant robot (Zinga7) and shove a freight train full of children up it's ass (Super Express) and you've got an invincible weapon - or so seems the premise of this film.

I loved how all the names were anglicized - General Larry and his son Kent, Prince Cyprion and his sister Susan. The evil Master Alfred and his Mistress Helen. Best was when one alien turns to the other and says, "Shoot him Ray"

Loved that the bad guys got their power from the "central motivating unit" and the cry of distress, "Ahh, we've been segmented!"

A delight, in an odd way - seen only because Lisa is on an overnight pet sitting gig and I know she's have never made it past the opening title. Still next time, I'll probably just download porn.

So who's next? I should be seeing some of you in person fairly soon, any takers?

The hardest part of downsizing my collection is that I didn't want to throw away or fold the inserts in either my CDs or DVDs.

For the DVDs, I found a company that sells binder inserts that hold the discs and the artwork/booklet on ebay.

http://pocketsymphony.com/lot/dvdpage.jpg

For the CDs, I came close to getting binder inserts, but I decided against it. All of the commercially available binder pages for CDs don't hold the tray card (without folding it). Bags Unlimited have just released inserts that purport to solve the problem, but when I received them, it turns out that they are poorly engineered.

In the end, I went with JewelSleeves (http://www.jewelsleeve.com/index.html). They are thin and sturdy, and have separate pockets for the CD, booklet and tray card. Once we move, I'll buy one (or two) of their cabinets for the collection.

There's another company called DiscSox that makes similar CD sleeves as well as neat DVD booklet-style protectors, but JewelSleeve's design has a slight edge (top loading).

Very true. I just snapped these with my iPhone to show the sleeves:

On the front picture, I pulled the CD partly out. It actually sits in its own pocket behind the booklet. The sleeves are heavy (6-gauge vinyl), so they do a good job protecting the paper.

These modules aren't worth enough to try selling. I'm more than happy to mail them to you (snail mailing RAM is cheap...), but I insist that they go to a loving home where they'll be installed and be the holders of your precious data, and not to sit in a dusty drawer somewhere.

The book market has gone downhill so much that it's just not worth it to try to sell used books. $1-2 each just isn't worth my time. I have unused signed first edition hard cover books that I can't get $5 for when they use to sell for $50- $100 ten years ago.

It has, but I've been a slow and steady seller on amazon and some other items on ebay. Suprisingly, I've sold some books that have multiple listings for .01 for $5 on amazon (Scott berg's bio of Charles Lindbergh as a case in point) I stuck it up for $5 with tons of competing books from $5 down to .01. It took a little while, but it sold just before Xmas. The truly rare I will post on ebay first or price accordingly on amazon. It may take a while, but so far, I can't complain. I've also weeded down the DVDs, but on those I priced them to sell, I did not make a profit, but in this economy, every extra $5 helps. I think if you are selling on amazon, it pays to scan the cover (if there is not one), check for multiple listings on the same book/DVD and if it's collectible, make sure you mark it as such. A good desciption is also helpful.

That's just my .02, but like the tortoise, slow and steady has been working for me.

Thanks Snowflake. That's kind of you to help. My mom was the book seller on Amazon. But there got to be so much competition that her sales went from thousands a month to hundreds. Then as ebay picked up books would just sit there and she might sell just a few a month for $5-10. Not much of a living when that was your only income. Now she has a job where I work. :rolleyes:

I sell a lot on ebay, and the picture and description are very important. As is your feedback. I think someone would rather pay $5 for something to someone with 100% possitive feedback rather than one cent to some power seller with 437 negitives in one month. I know I do.....

We use lights in our cabinetry. They are built in and turn on by touching the metal hinge they are connected to.

These would be lights from another manufacturer but I'm guessing they are similar. I have no idea why we aren't usign them... perhaps they aren't as good?

I'm told there are also plastic inserts for cd's that we used to put in our wholesale cabinets.

I'll get some photos tomorrow and post them.

I'll go check and see what condition they are in. I'm told that alot of the stuff is boxed up.

The cd holders are not cd cases. It is a plastic insert, if I remember it right, that has ridges and edges to it to hold a collection of cd's in a long row in a cabinet. I'm not sure if they were glued in, screwed in, or set in place in a groove or something. We haven't used them in many years.

I'll take photos of everything tomorrow though and post them.

02-12-2009, 03:12 PM

a few questions. general answers are ok. not looking for precision

how big (ie: heavy) are the industrial lights?
are there more or just those 8? they look freakin huge. I'll take as many as the truck can hold. Im hoping the lenses come off of the electronics. that'd make it easier

Im also up for some of the cabinet lights, dimmers and some of the baskets for sure. CD stuff too, but surely not all. will look thru the random stuff as well...you never know.

Im off monday and can arrange for other time off as needed.
but yeah, Im in. feel free to PM me and we'll work out a meet.

There are more than 8 lights but the rest will be used by new tenants in the building. You can see that 4 fit on a pallet. I did not try picking them up to see how heavy they are - but they appear to be a thick glass so I'd imagine they are pretty heavy.

I would prefer you take the entire lot of whatever it is you want. i.e. take all the dimmers and not just a box. You said you'd take it all so come and get it. ;) heh. Yeah yeah - I know. The goal is get rid of it all quickly and not have it end up in a land fill.

come and get it. sell it on ebay even. just take it off my hands please. :)

any piecemeal sales on the grids or 'all or nothing'?

Betty

02-12-2009, 05:31 PM

I'll have to ask on the piecemeal on the grids. did you have a price/quantity in mind?

This stuff is all leftovers stuff from my employers businesses. Various cabinet parts (cabinet lights and dimmers). The big lights are from the warehouse - we went to more energy efficient ones. The edge molding was probably for garage or closets of some sort.

The rocks are from my bosses aquarium... that started to leak because the guy that built/installed it didn't put a metal frame in the cabinetry. :( And the grids are from our furniture store that's closing this weekend. :( :(

Still making custom cabinetry though.

that sort of depends on the dimensions of the individual pieces. I have a specific project in mind for those and need to run some measurements on my side, then depending on how big those are takes me to how many I need, plus one or two of course for when (not 'if') I screw up

Canon PIXMA MP780 (http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=123&modelid=10444) all-in-one printer/fax/scanner/copier. Works perfectly, but needs new ink cartridges. (Only getting rid of it because I recently inherited the newer MP830.) Btw, the cartridges can be refilled with ink kits, saving a ton of money in the long run. However, they still need to be completely replaced on an annual basis, because they get "gunky". Also, this printer is capable of printing labels directly on printable CDs/DVDs. Works with both Mac and PC.

Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 19-inch flat-screen CRT monitor (http://reviews.cnet.com/crt-monitors/dp930sb-bk-sv-diamond/1707-3175_7-20566595.html). Works perfect, but very large and heavy. However, the color depth is excellent for professional graphics work, especially for 3D and game designing. (Only getting rid of it so I can consolidate my workspaces with HDMI.)

PM me if you're interested. Available for pick-up or SoCal delivery. :) Will also ship, but you must cover the shipping/insurance charges.

Yeah, but I don't want to deal with it, and really just want them out of here. And, they were both given to me (my dad's a technophile who always has to have the latest and greatest, giving me his hand-me-downs), so I don't really want to charge anyone for them. I just want them to be in a good home where they can get some use and help someone out as they helped me. :)

You say flat-screen but you also say bulky... What's the size on that? I have a 19" crt that makes moving my desktop rather tricky. I might be interested.

You say flat-screen but you also say bulky... What's the size on that? I have a 19" crt that makes moving my desktop rather tricky. I might be interested.It's flat-screen, not flat-panel. Frankly, it's a beast - it's deeper than it is wide, because of the color processors. Flat screen CRTs are still like regular CRTs, except the screen is flat, not concave, resulting in a better depth and color ratio without glare.

Hmmm...we need a copier/fax/scanner thingy. I assume it's not wireless?Not sure, really. I always used the cables - it's standard USB.

If Prudence doesn't want the copier/fax/scanner/printer we'll take it. Our copier broke down and the business needs one, which Hubby hasn't gotten around to replacing.

We're in waffle stage, so go for it, wolfy.

wolfy999

Waffle stage?

Since the time I posted we would take the copier/fax/scanner thingy, Hubby actually bought and hooked up a scanner without me knowing. So now we really don't need the thingy any more. Copying is all we needed it for and the scanner does the job since we don't copy much.

Pru...back to you if you can resolve the waffle problem.

Does anyone have any cables/cords/plugs/adapters {I don't have a clue what they are called} for a lap top?

I am sure they are all different but if anyone has one I can figure out what I might need.

I may *gasp* be going wireless!! My sons girlfriend is giving me her old Dell at a deal but I need to get it up and running. No cord and I need recovery discs.

But, I could be wireless!!!! Oh joy joy!! I never get anything fun!!

I could be wireless.

Why do you need wires/cables if you go wireless....isn't that the whole point?

08-05-2009, 12:18 PM

Are you looking for a power plug or a different kind of plug?

MouseWife

08-05-2009, 01:58 PM

wolfy, you are so darn logical!!! LOL To charge the battery. Which reminds me how sad for my son, his really cool computer won't keep a charge so he is stuck, too.

Yes, a power plug, the cord that would charge the battery, give direct current. I can not even turn it on right now to see what comes up.

It's a Dell, and, when I searched with the serial # on thier site, it says she bought it about a year ago. So, parts shouldn't be impossible to find but I am hoping not to have to pay full price as my whole deal is a lap top isn't in my budget.

Andrew

08-05-2009, 02:23 PM

What is the model number?

MouseWife

08-05-2009, 02:59 PM

Andrew~ the model number is T-6836.

Does that sound familiar? Oh, and looking at it, it is a Gateway, not a Dell. :blush:

Alex

08-05-2009, 03:12 PM

No idea as to quality or AC Adapter scams, but you can buy an AC adapter for that model on eBay (http://cgi.ebay.com/AC-Power-Adapter-for-Gateway-T-6836-T-6840c-T6836-T6840_W0QQitemZ230362925050QQcmdZViewItemQQimsxZ20 090801?IMSfp=TL090801135007r12347) for $9.

MouseWife

08-05-2009, 03:18 PM

Wow, thanks, Alex!! You've saved me a lot! She said they were about $60 and that was too much.

Thanks!

I will follow the link and see what I can do. Thanks again!

Andrew

08-05-2009, 04:00 PM

That's why I wanted to know; AC adapters are pretty easy to find, but they tend to be specific to one model or sometimes a range of models from a single manufacturer so you need to make sure you get the right one. Good luck!

wolfy999

08-05-2009, 04:07 PM

Especially with Dell laptops. Oops, just read backwards, much better with a Gateway I would suppose. My bad!

MouseWife

08-05-2009, 05:50 PM

Thanks, that is why I was concerned a bit. I don't want to go through the company as they are more pricey. I don't mind generic. :D

LOL I hope a Gateway is better, at least in this case. Of course, had it said Dell, I'd have hoped in that case. :0)

It's yours. It's not as cool as the Kerug but it's a 1-2 cup maker. I got it for next to nothing during a trial phase and I either drink no coffee or a pot so it just takes up room on my counter.

YAY going to a good home!

Disneyphile

It'll definitely get good use. I don't drink much coffee, and when I do, it's only a cup or two, and I hate setting up the big machine to just do that. Perfect! Thank you. :)

I have 5 hockey posters that are free to a good home, or I shall ebay them for whatever pittance they may fetch.

There are 2 Kings posters:
1. a door-size Ian Laperriere with height chart along the side
2. a small poster with the 5 Kings who went to the Olympics some year (probably late 90's, possibly early 00's) including Rob Blake, and I think Yari Kurri, and I forget who else

There are 2 Avalanche posters of the generic sort

And one smallish Ice Dogs poster, rather low quality inserted-into-the-newspaper kind, but featuring shirtless smiling hockey boys

BarTopDancer

04-07-2010, 08:12 AM

With the Kings and the Avs in the playoffs you could probably make some money on eBay. Kurri's poster for sure.

Also, they have been slip-covered for the last 4.5 years, so the fabric has been protected.

Yeah, I have a bunch of Rolling Stone mags from the 80's and 90's (can't remember specifically). I recently threw a bunch away. I knew that somewhere, somebody probably wanted them, but I knew I was never going to get around to getting them to that person.

I think there are still some left if anyone wants whatever I didn't throw away.I'd be interested if you have any of the ones with U2 on the cover.

I am in the same boat with several years of Premiere magazine. Getting ready to toss them. The ones listed by others on eBay aren't selling.

Alex

03-04-2011, 11:16 AM

do local libraries take those sort of donations?

I can't speak for all, of course, but when I worked local libraries magazine donations generally went straight to

a) the Friends of the Library for the few titles they thought they could sell
b) the prison readership programs
c) the trash

Public libraries rarely maintain lengthy historical records of magazines in print format. They take up too much room, get used too rarely, and there are plenty of digital means of accessing what is inside of them.

At the main PL I worked at years ago all magazines were discarded after 18 months when it was a sure thing they were available in the index systems. The only exceptions were locally published niche magazines and Playboy (which we kept for eight years).

The Friends of the Library at my last job actually had a written policy that they do not take National Geographic because people constantly try to dump them on us. It's funny how everyone thought they were worth keeping - to the point that the civilized world is saturated with them.

My Grandmother who fell and split her head open is getting out of the hospital sometime this week. We need to remove her cat before she returns as the Doctor has stated that she can no longer take care of it. Sadly the alternative is to take it to the Pound.

Light colored wood coffee table - stable but the top is dinged up. Good for somewhere it could get destroyed.
