A Maclaren double stroller. It is pretty faded and a little beat up but somebody may want this so we will make it available to those who might. Pic soon.
First a Dell scanner/printer that is brand new and comes with two extras ink cartridges. Previous owner says this was purchased bundled with a Windows Vista machine but seemed to not work at all with Vista. Hence he tossed it. We will give it a try as we try to remain Windows free, especially Vista free.

A HP printer that according to the previous owner works fine, but his daughter did not like it anymore or something so they tossed it. Investigations to proceed.

A brand new pipe-based clamp. Not much to say about this apart from the fact that it may come in handy.

A shiny new sankey keg complete with small pump. It is half full of Bud light with a born on date of one year ago. We suspect that the Bud is no worse than when it went into the keg. Upon inspection, as shown in the pic, we find that the Bud light seems to have transmogrified into a select and peculiar Belgian style beer with piquant overtones. Look for this from Anheuser-Busch soon....

A pretty chunky chunk of some fairly hard and heavy wood. We are not sure what this will be used for but it seems to have some promise so we will put it in stock.

An old and quite industrial Porter Cable belt sander. When we plugged it in the results were shocking. This may be worth fixing for somebody though as some of the flooring guys tend to like the se super old and grungy tools.

A Dell Pentium 4 PC, 1.4Ghz, 2x 40G HD, 256M RAM, dual boot RedHat and WinME. Former owner was an (technical) employee of a very large computing machinary corporaton. He scrubbed /home /var and numerous other things from the linux install so that it booted but pretty much had nothing of interest on it. Quite slick actually, needlessly so as he really should have zeroed the drives. It seems that he really wanted the machine to boot after it left his possession. The Windows ME install has IE caches chock full of strange windows tutorials and porn. The porn varied from vanilla to kitchen implements (yes, seriously, see . Below we show a image from the cache of great importance to those (like ourselves) who have trouble copying and pasting in Windows ME.

We still have trouble copying and pasting in Windows anything but at least we have now seen the tutorial! No media on machine, no P2P, no digital pics. Sad.
Numerous toys, mostly of the sit in or ride on variety. These were acquired due to the sudden influx of numerous remote relatives and their horrible offspring. First a pedal tow truck thingy. It is all metal and quite nice quality for a toy. We may keep this for a while.

A Peg Perego plastic tractor, this is nominally a high ticket item so once the horrible offspring have finished with it we will be tossing this on the list of craig.

A friend requested some good cookware for targeted donation purposes. Well, these fit the bill, some vaguely nice cast iron. After he has cured them they will hopefully cook some nice dinners somewhere.

Ross, shiny bike with super slim saddle and collapsable pannier. It is OK, sort of qualifies as hipster material, will be sold on the list of craig, we think. The folding basket is rather handy, we suspect that the targeted hipster purchasers of this machine will not appreciate such devices.

A more junky Ross, with wiggly frame. Not sure if this has any value but we are prepared to test the waters with a quick cleanup etc.

A junky Huffy Kids' bike. It was promptly snapped up by a crazy old woman with a full spectrum of grandchildren, a worthy home we feel.
