time to start finding things to not move

[geekchick]

aka "LJ as Craig's List substitute"

Here's a bunch of stuff I'd like to part with (as in, "come take it and it's yours") instead of pack up. Books and software I will ship if desired for the cost of postage, other stuff needs to be picked up locally.

Old hardware:

1. Epson Stylus Color 640 printer. When I last used it, it wasn't working
   terribly well. Don't know what's wrong with it. If you'd like it to tinker
   around with, come snag it; otherwise it will probably be recycled.
   

There will probably be more stuff as we continue to cull things out while packing.

Books, mostly old editions:

1. Director 6 Demystified, Jason Roberts (incudes Windows/Mac CD, unopened)
   
2. Sendmail (the bat book) 2nd edition, Bryan Costales with Eric Allman
   
3. Essential Windows NT System Administration, Æleen Frisch
   
4. Beginning Java, Ivor Horton (covers JDK 1.1)
   
5. Web Programming Languages Sourcebook, Gordon McComb
   
6. Core PHP Programming, Leon Atkinson (this also includes an unopened CD, but note that it covers PHP 3.x)
   
7. Special Edition Using SQL Server 7.0, Stephen Wynkoop
   
8. Cold Fusion Web Application Construction Kit, Ben Forta (both second and third editions; if you're a real archivist, I've got the first edition as well)
   
9. Beginning Active Server Pages 2.0, Brian Francis et al
   
10. Beginning Visual C++ 5, Ivor Horton
    
11. SQL Self-Teaching Guide, Peter Stephenson
    

Software:

1. Symantec Visual Cafe for Windows 95/NT (very, very old)
   
2. Macdrive 2000 for Windows
   

Other stuff:

1. 22x28 "Classic Aluminum" black picture/poster frame, still in shrink wrap
   
2. pine CD rack, don't remember the exact capacity since I've long-since outgrown it, but I think it's in the 280-300 CD range.
   
3. one of those flimsy round, three-legged accent tables with separate white cotton-blend and sage green covers.
   
4. Sauder computer desk with hutch (with cabinet doors) and keyboard tray, in a whitewashed pine finish; also includes a wheeled file cabinet which fits underneath the desk with one file drawer and a second small drawer and a wheeled printer stand. The hutch is wobbly and could use some wood glue, and the edge of the desk is a little beat up. Still perfectly serviceable, but it's heavy and I'd rather not move it if I don't have to. It was a housewarming present some number of years ago and I'd rather see it go to someone who could use it instead of sitting by the dumpster. If all else fails, I may see if Goodwill will come pick it up.
   

If you'd like pictures of any of the stuff like the desk, let me know. I'm sure there will be more of these as we pack up four years' worth of accumulated crap.

We would like books 4, 5, 6, 8, and 9, if they're still available. We'd be happy to pay you any way you like: paypal, check, cash-by-carrier-pigeon... :-)

Re:

They are all yours. =) Drop me a note at my LJ email address and let me know where to send them and if you have a preference for shipping method (priority mail, media mail, other). I'll get them packed up this week sometime and send them out, and then I'll let you know how much the shipping was; sound okay? As for payment, whichever way is easiest for you; I have paypal, but a check in the mail is also okay. Carrier pigeon is my cat's preferred method, but since the money isn't going to him, he gets no vote. ;)

Thanks! Will send email right now. :-)

BTW, according to JL I will likely be at an FAA workshop in McLean on March 16-17, anyway... I could just take two more vacation days if you need help then.

Thanks. I'm not sure when we're going to be moving (or even where, at this point), but I'll keep that in mind. Much appreciated.
