Mike's Basement Cleanout


I have too much stuff in the basement. Unfortunately for me, my family wants me to finish the basement so that it can be used for living space, not my stuff. I'm four years late, but here starts the basement cleanout and remodeling project.

What you will see on the list is anything I have that I'm not terribly interested in, but might be of interest to somebody else. I'm only looking for shipping costs, with the exception of one or two items where the stakes are a little higher - a good burrito and shipping costs.  All of it is fun to look at, and if it is something you need (like the missing book to a software program) you'll love it.  Wrapping and shipping things takes time and I'm short of time, so I reserve the right to change my mind if I get nickeled and dimed on shipping ...

I will keep things around for a few weeks, and then it gets recycled.  I will also be posting more things as I sort the basement out. Friends and people who can do local pickup get preference, as packaging and shipping are a pain to do right.

Have fun browsing - email me at mbbrutman at yahoo.com if you have questions.  I'm willing to take pictures and describe things in more detail, but you are going to have to make it worth my while if you want me to start testing media.

Remember, if a price isn't listed it's yours for shipping ..  if a price is listed it is negotiable.  I'm really just trying to keep this stuff out of the dump.

Thanks!
-Mike
