LoT freecycle
 

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.

Seriously? No one wants to see this horrible goodness?

I found this blurb about it online.

I'll play... No, I dont want to see your movie T, but

Does anyone want my dvd version of...

A Guy Thing ??

'Cabin Boy'? Anyone?

We were talking about that movie at the Pirate meet!!!:eek:

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)

You're one of them Fancy Lads, aren't you?

:D

I'll definitely take Cabin Boy! So freaking hilarious! :snap:

I'm game - I thought I'd let other's give it a go first since I'm still at posseur level of anime interest.

Too late- Traci gets Cabin Boy. Maybe if you're really nice to her, lay some mojo around, etc, she'll take pity on you and share.

Oh, wait- anime...You mean you prefer that 'Defenders' to 'Cabin Boy'? :eek:

Yes - sorry I should have used quotes

You might like 'Cabin Boy', you know.

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.

I feel the need to warn everyone that Cabin Boy is THE worst movie I've ever paid to see.

Carry on then. ;)

Hmm, I need to dig around and see what I have for trade.

Robin Hood: Men in Tights is the worst movie I've ever paid to see. But since I don't own it, I can't trade it.

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.

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

(Hmmm...wondering if I should post some of Tori's musical library here....)


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 love Robin Hood Men In Tights.

Would you like to buy a Monkey? :D

If Chris Elliot were to somehow escape the planet's gravity and drift off into space I think I might be a tiny bit happier.

'Monkeybone' - worst movie I ever paid to see.
:D

I can't believe you paid to see Monkeybone.

Pokemon: The Movie (the very first one), worst movie I ever paid to see (on opening day! :blush: ).

I was young. I saw the shot with the rollercoaster and went 'Oooh!' Boy, was I duped.
:D

Of course, the worst movie I've ever seen was Mom and Dad Save the World. That was free. And it was too expensive.

Hey now... I liked that.

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...

Having a kid with even worse taste than myself, I've paid to see more stupid movies than I can count. :rolleyes:

For those who desire them and they're not bad, either:

Paris Combo - Motifs
At Last - Cyndi Lauper

Cleaning house, so I may single handedly keep this thread alive.:)

Donna

Hey Snowflake,

We should tell Erica about that Cyndi Lauper album - it's the one where she covers "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood"!

I have 1 license and the CDs for a copy of Microsoft Office XP for Students and Teachers.

You do not need to prove status to register it, just to buy it (which I was when I purchased it).

Free to good home.

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

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

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?

Anyone want a $5 gift card from Jamba Juice?

Anyone want an Epson 880 printer with ink? Printer works but it was off for so long that the jets are a bit clogged and the print quality isn't the best. I gave up and bought a new printer.

Anyone want a copy of House of Leaves? Free, but you'll have to arrange to pick it up. I'll be in SoCal the weekend of Oct 3-5 and again Nov 15-16.

I wouldn't say that either one of you have bad taste :)

Someone who hasn't read it take this book! One of my all time favorites!

The gift card has been claimed.

Does anyone want to take JW Bear's Sig line out of my brain. It's free.

Free. One loony bun signed by Benny Lava.

Andrew, I'd love it. I'm in SF, but I can send you pstage if you want to pop it in the mail. Send me a PM

This has been claimed.

Scene It - Turner Classic Movies Edition
 

Okay, I know there are some movie buffs here on LoT. Anyone want a fun game to test your classic movie knowledge?

Attachment 825

Free for the asking, except for the postage to ship it!

Anyone have a working lawn mower they want to see for cheap?

I was going through my Christmas stuff and culling the stuff I no longer need or use. If anyone wants any of the following Disney stuff, just let me know.

1999 limited edition Castle and SM ornaments. One of the spires on the SM ornament has broken off, but I still have the piece. It can be repaired easily. Both are in their original boxes



A limited edition Merryweather ornament - it's quite large. In original box.




A Winnie The Poo mug:


And lastly, a small Poo figurine (not a tree ornament).

JWB - I'll take all of 'em, please! They would make a lovely addition to our home during the holidays! :)

Also, I have a small George Foreman grill up for grabs. It's perfect for 1-2 people without taking up much space. It can grill 2 burgers or 1 steak at a time. It is black in color and was only used about a dozen times. It works perfectly and is clean.

Thanks DP! I knew someone here would want to give them a good home.

As soon as I saw JWBear's post, I thought DP would snap them up :cool:

I just got a kick out of seeing his reflection in the ornaments!

I have a working lawnmower I'll be selling cheep at my yard sale in a couple of weeks. You'll need to pick it up though. I'm in Garden Grove, PM me if you're interested....

Thanks but we've already picked one up. Found it on Craig's List.

I have a working gardener that works cheap. He even comes to you!

Before I haul 'em to Chino for recycling, does anyone want 1000 or so CD jewel cases? How about 1000 DVD Amaray cases?

I can't remember if you were around for the conversation or not, but I believe Jennie said that libraries take them and use them for their rentals.

I'm hoping to recycle mine at the library - when I get done with the re-storage project.

Y'know... I must have missed that. Thanks!

Now to find a worthy library...

I don't need them, but I can't find the thread where you mentioned what you keep your cds and dvds in now. I'm trying to downside and store sensibly.

Shoot, one of CP's relatives just mentioned something about a new, or newly remodeled, library in Silver Lake. I'll see if CP remembers more than I.

ETA: Ah, here we go. It'll be done this Spring. http://la.curbed.com/archives/2008/0...ke_library.php. I think there's already a Friends of the Library for it, they may be taking donations. ( Friends link )

Just in case it was missed in my earlier post:

The really small George Foreman grill is still up for grabs. :)

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.



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. 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).

I'm sure it's a fine product, but that website does them no favors.

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.

At least he had clothes on

(Why the hell can't I find the stupid picture of the guy selling his appliance on eBay where you can see his nekked body reflected in the appliance?!?)

Here you go:
http://www.triptronix.net/ishbadiddl...6/26/12.03.43/

That's the one - TYVM!

If your not-yet-open library isn't taking the donations yet, I urge you to drive a bit and find a library that will. :)

When I typed that I almost said that! That's what the pictures reminded me of...

Donations of what? :eek:

Thread recap:

Oh! Thanks for the recap! I did miss that.....

It's a great idea! I do have a lot of books to get rid of. Mostly fiction and hard cover and all in like new condition.

Amazon.com is a easy way to sell electronics, DVDs and books. The USPS flat rate envelope makes for a simple way to mail your sales too, if it fits.

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.

I bet the purchaser of that teapot will be real surprised to find out that's an engraving not a reflection...

Laptop RAM - 2x 512MB PC3200
 

Upgraded the memory in my laptop, and am unlikely to find a use for this my own self in the future. Details:

Super Talent 512MB DDR-400 PC3200 SO-DIMM

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. (I guess just using one is fine, but you'll get both :)

EDIT: forgot to mention, I don't check the board much so please use PM or e-mail.

No, I think this is reason enough for you to be posting on LoT on a regular basis :D

I have pet steps two sets that were handmade when we got Lucy and Ethel. Anyone want them? The girls don't need them yet and when they do my store has some really great ones. I really don't want to throw these away either. Any takers?

I wish I lived closer to you! My dog struggles to haul himself up on my bed all the time and sometimes he even misses. He's not small, but apparently my bed is rather high.

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.

Anyone want my sense of optimism? I haven't used it for years.

Sure! Can you email it to me though. I don't think I can wait for snail mail.

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.....

I have 5 small (generally fits women and kids) ONE Campaign bracelets left over. If you would like one (or all 5) please PM me your address and I will be happy to mail them to you.

Would anyone want a button or similar small item purchased on the National Mall during tomorrows inauguration?

Absolutely.

Yes, please! :)

That would be neat! And we would even repay you for your trouble.

Cool. I'll pick up a bunch of buttons or whatever....

Perhaps for all you SoCal regulars I can pack up one box and solicit a volunteer to ship it to.

yes please!

That would be great of you Moonie!

Awesome! Please :)

My daughter would absolutely LOVE something...anything (she's staying home from school tomorrow to watch history in the making). I'd be happy to reimburse you. This is so kind of you.

I wonder how many other kids will be staying home tomorrow? Probably a fair number.

I would hope that many would. I also hope that every school in this country allows their students to see it. Black, white, Dem, Rep...we should give all of our children the chance to see a moment of such historical significance.

Oh, and the ONE bracelets have been spoken for.

My two are going to school tomorrow, but only because they will be watching the inauguration there. I would be keeping them home otherwise.

(And thanks, Whitney!) :)

I GOT BUTTONS, and keychains galore!

Is anyone willing to be a central distribution point for the Socal crowd?

Also, if you would like a button from the National Mall and you are not a Socal'er just PM me a snail mail address....

I would be very grateful for a souvenir -- I'd love to chip in for postage too! I'm not very central, but if you need distribution I'll pitch in!

Me too, and very cool of you to offer!:snap:

I would totally love a button, to put on my Disneyland peacoat :)

Yes, a button would be really cool! I'd be willing to help if I can. Perhaps a Disneyland button meet is in order, huh? :snap:

And I loved your pictures, btw!

Thanks for sharing, it's great of you!!

Button button Moonliner's got the button!

I'll be the socal distributor if no one has signed up yet.

I'll PM you my addy, ML.

I'd like one if anything is left please!

VHS!! Yeah, I know. I have a box of VHS movies. Classic "French" films. Couldnt' tell you the names but I breezed thru the boxes and they seem old, maybe B&W. Got them last year when that French publisher shut down their office. Making room in my storage.

Drop me a PM or here.

Is that code for porn?

If only they weren't VHS!

If they were porn, I'd be watching them. :)

It took me a bit but I finally made it to the post office. Buttons from the Inauguration are now working their way towards all of you that PM'ed me with snail mail addies. There is also a box heading to Disneyphile full of trinkets to pass out to the SoCal'ers.

Thank you Moonie, you're the greatest!!

I've got several - well, many - pairs of size 14 jeans that I need to get rid of. Anyone interested? (Mostly BR and Gap.)

Would anyone like a large amount of leftoever random building material? edge banding... unused cabinet lights... I'm told there is a large amount of stuff I need to find a new home for. If anyone has interest, I'll post some photos.

If no one else claims them my niece is a size 14 and tall ...but I won't be down til the end of April.

I would be interested.

Cabinet lights? Exterior, interior, mounting? Kitchen or book shelf appropriate?

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.

We are in Perris and they would need to be picked up from here.

Perris is cool. pick up would be no issue here.

I think I might need those for some client projects. Are they new?

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.

If you'd like some DVD cases - we've got those covered

Yes, please. I don't like using my brand new ones for rough cuts, etc.

Sorry I didn't get to take photos today... I need a guy to show me all the different places he has the stuff stored and he wasn't available when I was. Tomorrow though for sure.

Here's a link to all the photos. Please read the captions as some are close ups of the same stuff. I want to get rid of everything at once.

http://picasaweb.google.com/mojave22...eat=directlink

Preferably on a weekday this week or next between 6am and 2:30 so I can meet you... but other arrangements can probably be made. Need them picked up in the next week. All for free.

Fascinating collection.

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. :)

I also have 4 trash cans full of medium sized aquarium rocks and about 100 metal grills you put on a wall and display stuff on (measuring maybe 2'-3' x 8'?). I would like money for those things though - if there's any interest I'll post photos. The metal grills are the type that a store would use to hang picture frames on to sell.

it could happen. I may rent a van...

Here's photos of the aquarium rocks and metal grids that I want to sell... make an offer if interested:

http://picasaweb.google.com/mojave22...lGridsForSale#

So... what on earth is all this from again?

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

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.

Thank you so much!! They arrived today, safe and sound. The boy was very excited, husband was too, thanks!!

I tried to give you some mojo but it says I have to spread it around first:snap:

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

:D

Ya know... four of those grids would make an awesome bunny enclosure. Hmmm.

Well - 4 would make a bunny tunnel. You'd need something on the ends too.

My husband suggested taking them to a scrap recycler so that is the current plan.

Capt Jack paid me a visit today and picked up a bunch of stuff! Thanks Captain! :)

(and now I've met 2 people from this message board... what a bunch of freaks! :D hee hee. just kidding of course.)

No, that's pretty much spot on. Though if you think Cap't Jack is a freak, wait til you meet the rest of us.

While I didn't get to meet you, you did find me the awesome deal on my end tables.

Right on!

Just kidding? Hate to tell you this, but you've been had. If he wasn't freak, then that wasn't Capt Jack who took your stuff!

What was funny is that there I am at work - working away - when a coworker buzzes me on the radio and asks me to pick up the phone (so it's not overheard.)

She says - uh... yeah - there's a Captain Jack on the phone for you? (notice the question mark.) I laugh. She says - is that supposed to be your husband or something? ! ha ha ha... so I explain who the Captain is and now everyone knows I'm some loon who meets people from a message board online. So yeah - I'm a freak too. ;)

Betty = Win


a thousand thanks for your generosity. I keep wishing I had a bigger truck

listen to kevy. I'm just a jr freak. get this bunch together in a group...yeah. we can definitely get our freak on

anyway, the capt's back where he belongs bustin' at the seams with swag!
whats even better, I get to have someone else unload it.

it was an absolute pleasure to meet you today. when I called, I wasnt sure you'd know who I was if Id used my real name, so went with what I knew you knew, ya know?

and like, whats with the sink hole?

The funny thing is, many of us call him "Capt. Jack" or just "Jack" most of the time instead of his real name.

I met him once, but can't remember his real name. Though I am pretty sure it was told to me. And yes, definitely he is freak, of just the right sort.

Ha, when he told me his real name I didn't believe him. Believe a pirate? Right. ;)

Yeah, I'm a loon. Y'all are my 'mouse people'. I didn't change it up after the first board...still brought together {at least for me} for the love of the Mouse.

What is a real trip? Meeting people for the first time and actually speaking with them. That took me a while to get over. It was great, but it was a trip.

Just curious, have any of the Obama trinkets reached anyone yet?

Just in case you missed it the first time I'll say it again Thank You Sooo Much!:D

I know Disneyphile said she received the package and has started distribution. I suspect a lot of people will be getting their swag this weekend.

Yes, your ginormous box arrived.

To Obama fans in the LA area - if you want something, please PM me so I can make sure to reserve it for you and deliver it accordingly. There are numerous keychains and buttons. :)

I know I'm seeing some folks on Saturday night, so I'll bring some then too. :)

That's right! You said you had mailed them. I've been avoiding my mailbox of late. I will have to check it, it is actually down the street from me. Thank you again for doing that. It's pretty awesome of ya.

Ooh, can't wait to get mine :)

Attachment 1023

I just got the new one, mine says Limited Issue and not Gold Collection.

CP, does your library need a copy of the DVD?

I'm bringing the bag of Obama swag to LPSE's picnic bash tomorrow, since I forgot them on Ken's 30th.

I've set aside the pieces for the people who've PM'd me for whenever I see them later, or I can mail 'em. :)

Always. DVDs die rather quickly when they're popular, and Disney gets a lot of circulation, for sure.

Can't wait for Obama swag! :)

We just moved our office to our home. We have a small (2.5/3.0 cu ft) GE refrigerator (about 11 years old) that works perfectly (but maybe not so efficently) that we would like to give away. Anyone interested? Would need to be picked up here in Garden Grove.

Thanks! Your the best!

I've got some printer ink left over from some dead printers.

HP 75XL tri color
HP 74 XL Black

Canon Chromalife 100 #8 (3 colors plus black=4 tanks) 2 boxes for Pixma printers
Canon #5 Black one box, 2 cartridges.

Anyone need these?

I'll take these.

Thanks!

Cool!

Now, anyone need the Canon ink?

I totally need the Canon Pixma ink, and the #5!

This is perfect timing, because I'm in serious need of replacing them.

It's yours.

Do you need them before the cocktail party?

Yeah. Will you be around home on Thursday sometime between 1 and 5? I can stop by in-between classes. I can call you when I get out of the first one. :)

Call me. My schedule is pretty light that day. But, I won't be leaving for the Art Walk until 5:30.

Anyone need some generic metal rod shoe racks? Also, I'm going to be getting rid of some size 8 women's shoes. Some hardly worn. Mostly square-toed styles. Chunky heels.

Any 8 Wides?

Could you elaborate on the shoe racks? Pictures or links?

Yours for the taking. It's very retro.

Could we see a larger picture of the pattern? Not to be picky but might be interested.

:(

Thanks Katie, but no thanks. Check with Lisa (but don't let Chris know).

We'd love to have them if they're still available! We've been in need of a nice set of dishes for awhile, and I just love the leaf motif. :)

I won't have them, since you won't deliver them to my doorstep personally. :p :D

Those ARE retro and very cool. My family would destroy them. :( I have no pretty china hutch to keep them in. But I like 'em!

Oh No! You mean I was supposed to hand carry the cones to Australia? Damn, I misunderstood. :(

We have two large mirrors that we found in the garage when we moved in. They do not have frames. Probably about 3 feet tall. I can get measurements if anyone is interested.

If no one goes for them they'll go on craigslist.

I'll get photos up but I've also got a rocking chair, all wood standard rocker. Small table with two matching chairs, light wood. Exercise bike, low mileage can be used to hang clothing as well. We're hopefully moving soon so there will be more.

We have a similar treadmill! A fine clothes hanger indeed!

We were cleaning out the garage today. I have a couple things to offer for freecycling:

1: Two velvet choir robes in a stunning shade of purple. (Material for a never started project back in my SCA days.)

2: Several unfinished vests (in silks and tapestry materials).

3: An open 36 case of 7-Up with about 20 cans left.

Let me know if you are interested in any of these!

Where's Our SCA girls?

The velvet sounds beautiful and I'm sure it would look even lovelier covered in cat hair. ;)

I did think of you when I pulled it out of the storage bin....

Susan says she is interested in numbers 1 and 2 if they are still available

Indeed, they are.

Can you easily get them to Lisa's place? If so, I would be greatly appreciative. I know Susan will be going there on Sundays for sewing class in July. If not, I am sure she can swing by your place on one of her trips.

I have a bunch of Disney VHS that will be going to Goodwill at the end of next week but I thought I'd offer them up here first (just in case).

Jungle Book
Aladdin
Little Mermaid
Lady and the Tramp
Toy Story
Lion King

I have up-for-grabs:

Canon PIXMA MP780 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. 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.

It might not be worth your time, but have you thought about listing those on Amazon?

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.

Hmmm...we need a copier/fax/scanner thingy. I assume it's not wireless?

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.

Not sure, really. I always used the cables - it's standard USB.

Ah, no thanks then :)

I'm finally unpacking and already have a stack of boxes of anyone needs any let me know.

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.

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?

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

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.

What is the model number?

Andrew~ the model number is T-6836.

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

No idea as to quality or AC Adapter scams, but you can buy an AC adapter for that model on eBay for $9.

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!

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!

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

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)

I have a Senseo coffee maker that is yours for the taking. Must take it soon or it's going to be donated.

OOOOH! Is that one of those "pod" machines? If so, I've been wanting one for a long time now! :)

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!

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. :)

Okay, not a FREEcycle, but we have a clothes hanger we need to move out. It is a Pro-Form 745CS. Incline, folds up to save space, heart monitor, etc. Also does double duty as a treadmill. Low miles. $100

I hear they also make a great office.

Too funny, Kevy. I was like 'What?'

I only WISH that some of my crap was worth freecycling.

Oh, speaking of, Capt. Jack, I still have the last part of that Pirate pic, if you still want it. Do you even remember??? I forget until I see it. then it's Doh!!

I do indeed remember. I see the first half every day. My cubie mate wont let me take it home. :)

Ive not forgotten, but in no rush. as your schedule permits.

My schedule is a joke. But, I do remember your cubie mate loving it. :0)

Okay, it still exists. Soon. Or later. We'll figure it out.

I have one free ticket to Magic Mountain, good until the end of 2010....any takers? PM me and I'll drop it in the mail to 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

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

Anyone want a gently used T-Mobile G1 Android Phone?

http://news.ecoustics.com/bbs/messages/10381/522482.jpg
Admin Note: Site was being flagged as malicious, took out inline image

Fully functional, only used on Sundays to text messages to church.

To make use of it, you will need to be with T-Mobile and opt for the G1 data plan.

How much? I've got my white one, but it's starting to get a little worn out. :)

Anybody have a need for 100 MB Zip Disks? I seem to have a plethora of them

Jefe, what is a plethora?

It's a unit of measurement for piñatas.

Anyone want a sofa and loveseat?

We're considering a sofa. Pic?

They look pale blue in these pictures, but they are really pale mint green.

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

Sorry GD... Another friend of ours just else just asked if they could have them.

Anyone want, or know of someone who might want, about 20 years worth of National Geographics and Smithsonian Magazines?

do local libraries take those sort of donations?

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.

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).

My mom tried for years to get rid of her boxes of National Geographics. She tried library, pre-schools (for art projects), all kinds of places and got no takers. I had them all recycled.

Craigslist 'em

That's my next step.

What Alex said. 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.

To Good Home: 1 really old Cat. (12 ish)

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.

Anyone interested shoot me a note. (cough! Lisa) ;)

Free to good home. Must bring help and transport to remove from 2nd floor. It's light, but awkward to get out the door. SA and Goodwill will not take it. My takers keep flaking. It's taking up precious floor space. :( :(

What is it? Old boyfriend? Foosball table? Portable stage for home productions of "Put That Thing Back Where it Came From or So Help Me?" Empty beer keg? King-sized bean bag chair? Tyrannosaurus skeleton? Wading pool? Rolled up carpet with suspicious lump in the middle?

Inquiring minds.

ooo stupid picture didn't post. It's a loveseat.

Last chance for the Free Cat - ;) The drums are approaching...

A shelter is just going to put her down. Why don't you try a rescue? They will find a good home for her.

I have a whole bunch of magazine back issues (Entertainment Weekly, Premiere, Air New Zealand mag) related to Lord of the Rings. Anyone interested? Depending on cost to ship, I might ask for a little PayPal fundage, but that's it. I'm moving, and hate to toss them out.

Free Daytimer binder - leather. No inserts. Free to pick up but if I have to ship it I'll need whatever the actual postage is.

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

Love seat (still).

Not quite free - entertainment center $30 (light wood color, from Target) and a spider arm lamp w/energy efficient light bulbs $15.

Steph-I'll be happy to PayPal you the postage. Ken would love them! Just PM me your email to send the funds and how much. :)

Free to good home.....male, 7 weeks, litterbox trained, energetic and loveable!

I just read it for the boobs.

WOLFY !!!!!!!!!!! Put that thing in spoiler tags before Lisa sees it !!!!!

I still have 2 kittens in my house that need homes!!!!!!

I can take one to Erica! It's a wedding gift! ;)

Probably not, but I thought I would throw it out there: we've got a bunch of CD jewel cases (500+) if anyone wants any. We've putting them into sleeves to save space.

What's been weird about this project is that I keep running across CDs that I know I never bought, have no interest in, and have NO idea where they came from

Echo & The Bunnymen - Breaking the Back of Love

Seriously?

Oh, that's where it went! Don't you remember me loaning it to you a while back?

;)

Please don't throw them away! Libraries would LOVE to have them. We were always buying cases to replace the ones that constantly broke. If your local library won't take them, please give them to Orange Public Library. :)

Duly noted - thanks for the heads up!

We weren't going to throw them away; we would have taken them to Goodwill.

Free to good home: 19" CRT computer monitor

With condensing our computers down to one desk in the red room, I simply cannot keep the big CRT any longer. Hate to throw out working electronics. Please take it!

Don't throw it out! It should be ewasted. Here is a free drop off location really close to you.

Yeah, I'd still rather it stay in circulation though. E-cycling is the functional equivalent to "throwing it out" to me.

Thanks for the list though... I have other stuff that needs dropping off!

Donate it to a thrift store.

The last time I tried to donate a CRT, they wouldn't take it. So donating is probably still an option but you might want check ahead before lugging a big one around.

(And can I say that this topic of conversation has caused me to reflect on how obscene it seems to give up that much desk space to a monitor and yet it was completely normal a few years ago; though when I see 72" TVs advertised it makes me wonder if we haven't gone down a bad path.)

Agreed, when there are 80" models available.

Should have been clearer:

"when I see 72" TVs advertised as Black Friday loss leaders..."

I had a client offer me an obscenely large flat screen tv that had a small crack in it. I turned it down - not because of the crack, but because I don't want anything that large in my house!

smart move. I got a pretty large TV from someone awhile back for a steal. big ass 32+ something screen etc. old school, non flat box type TV. weighed a ton and unless it was the only thing running in the house, every time Id turn it on it sucked all the power out of the house and tripped the breaker. couldnt get rid of that POS fast enough to suit me.

I'll stick with my el-cheapo 27" thank you bery mulch.

I see an obscenely large TV in our future.

Mine's not obscenely large at 55" but I love it. A friend's husband went out and got a 72". They have a very small living room and ended up returning it because it was giving them vertigo.

We have a complete set of Harry Potter and Twilight hardbound books that are free for the taking - but you have to come get them.

You said that cos you don't want ME to have them. I know. :p

No, I WANT you to have them. Come get them.

Wolfette might want those books NA.....hang on to them for me and I'll get back to later on today.

I got your VM - I've just been working my ass off. I'll save them for her.

Thanks NA...I'll look forward to hearing from you so we can arrange getting the books. Wolfette is looking forward to reading the Twilight series and I will finally read Harry Potter. :)

Anyone have an HP inkjet printer that takes the 02 cartridges? I had to replace the printer so I've got extra cartridges now. Of course I'd just stocked up on backups when it died. If anyone can use them I'd be happy to send them along.

My parents' church has a printer that uses those. If no one local claims them, I can send along the address. I'm sure they would appreciate the donation.

Cover for a Second Generation Kindle. Red leather.

I think that's what my Kindle is :)

Happy to send it along just let me know.

That'd be lovely.

A nice pair of (somewhat dusty) July 17, 2005 Golden Ears (from the actual day).

Any takers?

Billy Book cases - come an get 'em

Aww! You got me curious why you'd get rid of them.

Because they're sitting in a closet unloved and not displayed. They need a better Disney home than mine. :(

Pshaw. All of us have them socked away. If we displayed all of our keepsakes from over the years we'd drown in it. I'm keeping mine as a family history piece more than anything.

Ditto on the keepsakes. They are part of my retirement plan.

When I was little, my mom hung a long narrow shelf about 18" from the ceiling along one wall of my room to display dolls. I was kind of thinking something similar with mouse ears would be cute. You know, one of these days...

Laptop case for 13in notebook
Tigger trailer hitch cover

Also, have table and chairs, entertainment stand, book case, lamp, love seat for sale for cheap. Good stuff for first apartment.

I could use a laptop case for a 13 inch notebook!

It's yours if you want it. It's kinda girly - black with pink shading and a pink interior. I can text you a picture.

Does a 13" MacBook Pro come with it?

BYOL

A Maryland issued lottery ticket from last weeks Mega millions drawing. In good condition, slight fold on lower right corner plus a tear stain or two.

I'll pass on the pink. ANYBODY HERE LIKE PINK?

It's not that pink!!!!

Outter is black, logo is pink. Padding inside is black, lining pink.

I like 'em pink on the inside

OMG he went there.

Things that are certain in life: Death, Taxes and Kevy going there....

quoted for posterity

Lob, and return.

Laptop case (will donate after this try)
2GB SD card, sealed
Canon digital camera battery charger (no battery)
Lanyard & plastic holders from past MouseAdventures
Paper lanterns (last used at Ally's merry unbirthday party a lifetime ago)

Phototron. You pick up from Hemet-ish area. Older model with slight interior flaking of reflective material. Works great. Don't want to move it. We move in 2 weeks, so you'd have that long before you'd HAVE to come and get it - but the sooner the better for me.

Also have a day bed (currently taken apart or I'd post a photo) with a trundle bed under it. You'd need mattresses.

You're not going to be growing any pot medicinal marijuana in Henderson? Or does the new place have a full grow room?

I had to Google what a "phototron" is. Now I'm afraid I'm probably on some watch list...

Yeah, me too.

I did too but I think it will make growing tomatoes in the winter easier, so if no one else wants it I would love it and I can pick it up Monday afternoon

LOL... It's an older phototron we got for free. It's a small moving truck and we're making one trip. Nevada laws aren't quite as liberal as California's law, unfortunately. But the bottom line is I'm getting rid of all sorts of stuff because we just don't have the room to move it. I have to get our stuff down to half of what it was when we moved in - and we've acquired more since moving here of course.

Do you have an above ground pool and need a ladder for it? I've got one of those too.

Up for grabs:

A set of #8 Print Cartridges for a Canon Pixma printer



Mine died and I have a snazzy new HP printer.

Dibs!

Done!

Just let me know were to send them.

Am I the only one who is amused that it is GD who got the PRINTER materials?

Yes.

*gigglesnort!*
